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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2010 te250 tire size - "Alpha"?

So I noticed today that the rear tire on my new TE250 was a 140/80r18. This tire really looks huge on this small bike. I have been looking at more aggressive off road tires for the bike but I'm finding 140 size tires are a bit harder to come by.

After reading some old post's I read something about tire sizes being in a "alpha" size for European specs. Any Idea if the metzelers might be in this "alpha" format? If so any thoughts on what metric size to use? My thoughts were maybe a 120/80r18. I read something that that size would be the metric conversion.

Basically thoughts on what size rear tire to use.

Thanks
Doug
 
Do you suppose they put a 140/ 80 on the bike because it is a "dual sport" tire and they wanted more hard road contact? Since my 250x has a 100/100 on it I kind of figured it would be around that size.

Thanks for the info

You want a 110/18 for that bike. Disregard the stock tire size
