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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2009 SM510R Exhaust Issue...

First off, I'd like to say 'hi' to everyone who views this. First time posting, but I've read through the forums a bunch over the past couple of weeks, so I thought I'd make an account and get a couple of questions answered.

So my problem is this: I'm planning on purchasing a 2009 SM510R, but there's an issue with the exhaust. The owner bought the bike from the dealership and right away decided that the stock(?) dual pipes were not to his liking, mainly due to the weight, so he proceeded to cut them off. Now I'm not completely sure this is what happened, but from the photos, it sure looks like he did (see image below).

Now for the question: How is the stock exhaust mounted? Is it one complete pipe from the header to the cans, or is it bolted/welded together somewhere? I know I'm definitely going to need to buy a new pipe, but the question is whether or not I'm going to need a full system or a slip-on.

If anyone has any insight into this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!110647297_4thumb_770x574.jpg
 
it is not a true dual, as it is a siamese unit, them split into seperate mufflers. and to top it off, the damn things are super restrictive. I am going to convert mine to a single muffler, probable one of up-tites mufflers, as soon as i can hear one with the up-tite unit on it. the duals are so restrictive that you will be better off with a single, less weight. unless you want to double the cost of the repair... IMHO
