• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

36,000kms - When To Walk Away?

Hi Cafe Crew.

Apologies for a mundane question.

Looking at what appears to be a very well looked after 2011 TE630. Its on its second owner, but that guy has only done 600kms in a couple of years. Original owner from new did 36,000kms and apparently was an older gent with the finance and responsibility that entails. The bike looks great, all the paint, body work and engine cases look excellent

Power up kit fitted new
Clutch 'replaced' when new due to 'known issues' (?) with this model
Reinforced subframe from new
Many nice farkles (pegs, tank, screen etc) plus all the original OEM parts.

Will be bought sight unseen as I am away for work, but it apparently runs beautifully, starts first push, no known issues to speak of.

My question is - is a well looked after TE630 with 36,000kms too risky of a proposition or is that not an issue - also considering im likely to double that millage in a couple of years...

Im from BMW land, with one of my bikes having almost 300,000kms and the other 110,000kms. Im not afraid of high kms per se - but it is always model (and maintenance, but predominantly model) specific.

Thanks very much - looking forward to joining the brethren.
 
What do you think? I have a 630 and a 250, both on full knobblies. The 630 is really nice at road speeds, but you feel the weight off road when doing slow stuff. I guess the 510 is more like an overpowered 250, much more comfortable off road. DS or road legal dirt bike?
