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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I've got stock gearing and I'd like to make the bike a bit more "street friendly". I ride about 30 miles on street to get to the trails. I don't need to go over 50 mph, but I would like to lower the rpm's without giving up too much. I'm mostly on fire roads for dirt too, nothing too tight.
going 14/50 looks like it only drops the rpms by about 572 in 6th gear. Does that really make that much of a cruising difference? Maybe a 14/48?

Thanks!

You can probably get away with a 15-50 combo for what you're doing. Maybe carry a 13 or 14 with you in case you get into a tight spot & it's a fairly quick change trailside & no need to swap chain lengths.

That'll drop your 6th gear cruising RPM by about 1000. I suggest using about 6-6500 as your cruising speed target RPM. 7-7500 for short bursts here and there.
 
Ok, thanks. I was worried about the crusing rpm. This is my first dual sport. So, 6-6500 is not too bad for the engine I'm assuming.
