• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Everytime I walk past my TE630, it makes this weird, not sure how to describe it...mooing sound. Anyone remember those canned animal sounds from the toy stores from about 30 (I know I'm dating myself here)years ago? That's the sound it makes...mmmooooooooh

What is it?

Pretty sure it's the gas tank venting. But yeah, it was the strangest sound at first. Parking it after a day's ride....... mrraooo.....mrraoooo..."What the hell is that??" lol
 
Yep, that's the 2-way check valve in the tank vent line. If you pop the fuel cap off, you'll hear the fumes escaping.
Gasoline has a fairly high vapor pressure, so as long as the tank is warm, there will be pressure in the tank. Sitting there in the sun, sometimes it will "moo" every 20min or so...
 
I thought the big 'ole green 1 way valve automatically falls off the bikes when they get home. :excuseme:. Then put a little section of hose with a vent on the tank nip. No more cow calls.

Except that valve keeps you from dripping fuel when you top off
