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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi Guys, I run with the original stock muffler. My mates (KTM rough nuts) keep telling me it sounds like a sewing machine or brush cutter. I ususally just drag them off and tell them that even with their after market pipes they are still slower. Skiting aside is there merit in opening up the stock pipe. I do not want to be really loud but a throatier note would be horn and a little more bottom end would not hurt (6 feet and 260 lbs prop forward- tackle for our American cousins). Apparently the 05 TE 450 had more bottom end.
Long story short if it is dooable what indeed do I need to do. By the way I do not want to buy an after market pipe.

Any guidance would be very useful.

Cheers.

About 2006 there was a person that did exactly what you are asking about on TT, I do not recall what he named the modification. It may have been started by "ponocopete".

That mod did indeed make the bike sound more respectable/throatier/better, but not really loud. It also added some HP in the lower rpms.

I really do not recall but did spend 10 minutes looking for it. I even compare a modified TE250 with my stock TE250 and made a graph comparing the loudness at different rpms measured with a dB meter.
