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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

FE/FC 2015 FE501S vs 2015 FC450

Hi gang!

I sold my 2008 RM250 MX bike.
I bought a 2015 FE501S.
I ride mostly 60%enduro 40% mx track.

So the problem that I have is justifying the acquisition of a FC450 to satisfy my mx needs since I already have a FE501S (desmogged, full fmf exhaust and the 'open' ecu map flashed). Is this plan of mine justifiable in light of already having a FE501S?


I really want an mx bike again tho.
 
I like the FC450, it has fast snappy power and we race it in the desert and at the WORCS races. It's a great bike. The 501 has a heavier crank that produces tractor like torque coupled with a wide ratio transmission. We use our 501 for long distance desert races and dual sport rides. Both bikes are great, I don't think you made a bad decision either way. Besides, with the addition of a fuel tuner/tuning, sprocket ratios, you can make the 501 snappy and responsive very similar to the FC450.

Hmmm, ok, so basically there is no gray area where the 501 can be (tune + sprocket sizes) without some work being done to it prior to riding it depending on my needs for that day?

Looks like I might have to get a FC450 too :D or an equivalent MX bike....FC450 is an expensive bike :(
