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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
I've got a question for you all and thought I would try to bring this thread back to life...
I've blown my smr 510 engine and am forced to replace the following regardless of which direction I go:
Cylinder (beyond repair)
Valves, springs, timing chain, valve guides, etc...
Intake camshaft must be replaced
Con rod
Piston
...and a few other things
Here is the question:
I want to do the 530 kit to gain some bottom end. Should I do the RR version? As far as I know this is just the 530 kit with stiffer intake springs, different spring caps, and RR intake cam. I don't really want to do ant porting if I don't have to. I don't want to lose any reliability. Is the RR cam going to work the engine much harder?
Lastly, this bike is used primarily for street. Maybe a Few races in the summer but not much. I am very unfamiliar with Husky's so don't be shy to point out the obvious.
Thanks
can someone tell me 510 rod length- from pin to pin center ? hysky 06' . I want to make sure I order the right connecting rod
If you dont want to use special connecting rod, original enough.....I have bone stock engine, whit 530cc kit, no problem....I'm rebuilding the engine of my 510 Sm, I was thinking about using a 530 kit, would it take a connecting rod special or original enough for the new power?
