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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

449/511 Quick Throttle? Anyone using one? Where did you get it?

I'm reasonably convinced that the next performance mod needs to be a quick turn throttle. I've tested my own riding and found it was nearly impossible to have the throttle 80-100% open for anything more than a second or two because of the hyper-flexing of the wrist.

Soooo. Anyone using a quick throttle?
 
My quick action throttle is from Domino, it comes with all the gubbins and 2 new grips. You will need to play with the adjusters in the throttle housing.

It cost £38
Domino, part# 3381.03
 
I used the throttle off my hypermotard and bolted it on pull only. It snaps back and the throttle response with my other mods is better than ANY bike I have ever been on. It is really stellar.
 
huskylove... So, there's a Ducati dealer in Concord. If I wanted to purchase a hypermotard throttle would I just order one? Do I need more info than that?

Me too. :cheers: I get bummed when I hear of people not liking the 449/511 because it does not run good. It sure can, in fact perfect. Its in there.

Now I think I need to do the throttle mod like you guys are. I want one that keeps the first 1/4 the same then ramps up to wide open with less rotation.
 
I ended up modifying the stock unit. It's a 1/4 turn throttle now. I haven't tested it yet so... it may end up being too quick. I'll update after a quick ride later, but I won't be doing a dirt ride for another 4 days. It's the dirt ride I'm a little worried about.
 
Quick update: A quick turn throttle is a GREAT mod. No kidding! It's amazing how much more perceived power the bike has. And there's no noticed problem of throttle control at slow speed. I've used it for about 5 rides now and it's a big plus.
 
Researching the G2 stuff it seems like the 50 300D quick turn is noted for the 511. Can anyone confirm this will fit.
G2 just lists Husky 4strokes (all models...)
 
Received the G2 quick turn today. Removed OEM part and installed new tube. Looks very well made. No binding and no modifications required. Full throttle is now 1/4 turn.
 
No, and won't for a few weeks....
I don't think it will be terribly harsh compared to stock going by eye.

Heading to work in the am for 3 weeks but will be heading to Hatfield McCoy in West Virginia for my next 2 weeks off.
I will have a report on this and other products upon my return.
