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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

17" wheels on TE 610...kickstand too long

I converted my 2009 TE 610 to Supermoto mode. Put some 17" Warp 9 wheels on it but now the kickstand is a bit too long.

It's not that bad but the bike is a bit more upright than I'd like it to be.

Any easy solutions?
 
If you cant yourself, bring it to a local welder and cut it (below the spring tab) and weld it back to shorten it. Should be like $10, maybe $20, or a 6 pack.. depends on the welder. Of course if you want to swap wheels back and forth youll have to buy another stocker to swap as well..

Yeah, I think I'd like to have the option to swap. I guess I'll buy a stocker and have it cut short. I wonder if the SM 610 side stand will bolt right onto the TE?
 
I would cut your stock stand down for SM use and buy a Ken Webb stand for switching back to TE mode. The stock stand is useless in the dirt anyway.

Buy an SM610 stand.

or

I put an SM630 stand on my SM610 because it's a couple inches longer, I got tired of losing a cup of gas after I filled it up and parked it. Why the hell did they put the tank vents on the DOWNHILL side of the bike...sheesh
