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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2011 SMS 630 Initial Impressions

Damn! All this talk about smog removal and pipes and remaps is great but my bike has been in the shops now for 3 WEEKS waiting for a clutch cylinder seal ... sure would like to ride the thing. C'mon Husky all that time the bike is in the shop the warranty is just going away.
 
handlebar rise. ?

I am 6'1 and put a under bar mounted steering stabilizer and taller lower clamps to add more rise for better posture on the pegs.

Here it is December and I am getting a 630 finally.

Want to ask how much clutch, brake, and throttle cable you had to play with for getting that handlebar rise. ?

In my case it was a '07 610. All worked with stock, but my choke (enricher) control is on the carb, not the bars (as on 08-09), and I was able to move things around to work. I later installed a 2" longer clutch cable for a better fit passing over the top clamp. 630 could be a bit different so will need a 630 owner to validate.

Mine has the Scott damper kit which raises the bars ~15mm with no front or rear offset. I reckon 20mm or so with no fiddling. The cable for the air valve looks like it might become the first problem.
 
I have the 510 spacers under the bar mounts and Pastrami-Hi Pro-Tapers. I just had to adjust the free-play for the choke - bike was surging before I adjusted it.

I tried 2-1/2" Rox Risers on the stock bars for a short time but the clutch line got a bit too tight for my liking. Fiddled about and found enough slack to make it work, but it was not a good solution.

I asked a KTM dealer what length the 950/990 clutch line was, but the dealer didn't have one, didn't know, and wouldn't find out. I just may order one to find out, but it is likely that is the same length as the 630 line.

If anyone happens to have a 950/990 apart and could measure .... ;-)
