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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

08+ 510 Motor swap ideas?

Hi all,

I've got an EFI TE510 with a seized engine (only 2600 miles) that I bought as a parts bike. Just wondering if anyone has tried or seen a different motor swapped into the chassis. Because while I love the suspension and handling on these bikes I don't actually need the power of a 510, especially off road. I'm pretty sure I can get a 250/310/450 motor to fit, assuming I also acquired all the accouterments. If there's anyone who has done something crazier (like put in an engine from an XR400R), I'd like to hear about it :)

Thanks,

Alex
 
all three of those are the exact same engine for 08'. I'm not sure if there's any small differences on the 250, but the 450 is the same.
 
Yep all the same crank cases across the range until the 2011's. Just different stroke and bores
 
Yeah I know the 250/310/450 will fit, mostly wondering if anyone has stuffed anything else into the frame, like an engine from a 610 :p
 
I've got an 08 450 roller sitting here also that I'm debating on what to put in it. A 500 smoker is cool, but ultimately not that usable for where I ride. The less cool but much more usable choice currently on my list is a kdx200 engine
 
Cr500.

It is very rideable if you have ever been on one. Tons tons tons of low end torque and almost unstallable with a weight.
