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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

07 TE 450 Vibration

AA Class
New owner. Just wondering if it's normal for this bike to vibrate. The old owner has huge rear sprocket on it. If I put original sprockets back on will this stop the vibration? The bike is almost unrideable. It bike only has 150 miles on it.

Thanks
 
I have a 07 TE450 and while it's buzzy, I wouldn't call it unrideable. If you are riding it on pavement with low gearing, the over-rev could be uncomfortable, but if you gear it stock (14/50) and it still feels bad at highway speed, I'd check motor mounts and other sources of vibration. I know the bike vibrates at idle enough that you can't leave the bike unattended or it will walk down the driveway backwards by itself!:p

Not enough information just to say "it vibrate":excuseme:

If it vibrates at high RPM then I would agree with DD.:thumbsup:
If you're talking about Hwy.Vib. then I would check and see if the wheels have been balanced. Most likely not.:D
I added 4oz to the rear and 2.5oz to the front opposite the rimlocks.
 
Checking mounts as we speak. At a standstill, when I rev engine, I can feel it in my hands, feet, and inner thighs (nuts). One more item. Bike has been lowered, front and rear, by previous owner. Could that have anything to do with it? Thanks again.
 
Took the rear sprocket (58 tooth) off and put the original (50) back on. Took the front sprocket (12) off and put the original (13) back on. Problem solved. What a difference. Why would the original owner do that? Thanks for all your help.
 
Holy climbing walls Batman! 12/58! That's crazy, crazy low. The previous owner needs a trials bike.

Ditto! Did you have to shorten the chain length for the return to stock?
 
as stated, make sure everything is tight,, and balance your wheels. Check your tires for cupping if it has has alot of road use.
 
Wow, that would have been worth having a go on - what sort of riding did he do? Wheelies only? Check your headset bearings :) Top speed of 60kmh at 7000rpm? :)

You went from 4.83:1 to 3.81:1 (or a freaking huge changing in ratios)
