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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Coasting with Engine off

Tried to do a search and found nothing...

I tend to ride in urban environment often and have gotten into the habit of shutting off the engine and coasting to a redlight, mostly to keep heat from being bothersome, but it helps with fuel consumption too.

Is there any reason with a wet clutch it and dry sump would be bad to coast from high speeds (say 60mph) down to a stop with the engine off, transmission in gear, and clutch disengaged?
 
I do it all the time but I dont shut off the engine. I just pull in the clutch and coast. down shifting as I feel.

Engine off doesn't matter
 
We do it in the mountains on the down hill side but we shift to neutral and ~race down with no engine power ... It shows how much UR tire air pressure effects the drag on a bike ...

I'd be careful doing this in an environment where I might need the engine to save my bacon from what ever (cars?) might pop up ...
