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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

630 vs 510 weight

Has anyone figured where the weight difference comes from between the 510 and the 630? Seems like most of the lightening mods knock the weight down to about 300, but people have scaled their 510s around 280 or less. Is the motor really 20 lbs heavier? Is more of the frame on the 510 aluminum? Never seen a 510 IRL so I was wondering if anyone had some input. Really want to maximize the weight savings on my 630 so I can't justify buying a "R" bike...
 
the 610 is heavier everywhere than the 510. Motor, frame, subframes, plastic, everything. It is what it is.
 
after owning both.. my best guess is the gear box, frame and subframe (in that order) contribute the most additional weight on the 630.
 
Interesting, 510 is aluminum framed? Or just smaller? I should talk to my machinist friend about a subframe perhaps... :)

sub frame on both are from the same material however the 630 is built with more material and gusseting to carry additional weight. IMO the extra weight is in the 630 wide ratio gear box and main frame.

ah well, it is what it is i suppose. having everything carbon would probably be the only way to shave the weight, just not cost effective.
 
With the same set of mods (handguards, bashplate) my 630 only weighed 7lbs more than mt 610. I know the factory-published figures are different from that, but that was what I got.

And that 7lbs would sensibly be attributed entirely to the second muffler and crosspipe.

and when you slip on the Leo Vince ti the 630 is now 10lbs less than your old 610. The Leo droped 17lbs off my 630 from the factory twin anchors.

And out of curiousity what was the weight you got for your 630?

Found my original post on this topic...

Weighed my TE630 -- 334 lbs. All stock except: twin Leo Slip-ons, handguards and bash plate. tank about 2/3 full.

My 610 (on the same scale) weighed 332 with the same bash plate, dirtbagz racks (no bags) and handguards. 2/3 full tank.

Adjust for the DB racks, and they're only about 5 pounds apart with the Leo twins. I later weighed the Leo cans vs. stock and the Leos are 6lbs lighter.

So...that nets to only about a 10-11 lb difference between the two bikes, of which almost all is the second muffler.
