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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Hi guys, has anyone complete their emission delete process. I'm hoping that someone could share what individual hoses and parts needs to be removed? I'd prefer to remove instead of block. In Canada we don't have emissions compliance program or aircare, EPA so no need to keep it. I'm keeping the bike so resell is not a factor.
I know I'm asking a lot but would anybody mind taking a stab at listing the components that can be removed?
The more information the better.
Thanks a ton guys!

I removed the EGR valve off of the head and plugged with an OEM plug and washer off of a 16' 450. Then I removed the plastic charcoal canister that is hidden in the frame between the radiators. This had three hoses going out of it. I removed all of them. For the gas tank vent hose, I used an OEM hose and plastic elbow off of a motocross model. Then there is the plastic thing on top of the transmission. This got removed along with all the hoses and such. I made a jumper wire for the electrical connector that went to it.

Wow. Can't imagine pulling out the canister was easy eh? What a pile of hoses and EPA junk.

Rekluse clutches are well discussed, summary being their stuff is well made. Some swear by the auto clutch effects, some do not. The stock clutch on these bikes is very good, but, of course, you have to provide the modulation. It seems I have heard that they contaminate the oil a bit quicker than standard clutch. Not sure if they run hotter, but I would think they might in heavy usage.
As an ancillary issue to consider, I don't know if the 17s have the "cush" rubber blocks in the clutch hub but I suspect they do, as the pre 17 models did. I also don't know if using a rekluse retains the stock clutch basket, but if not, those dampers would be gone and they are good to have in your driveline for any street riding.

this snow is driving me nuts......might be rideable conditions in a week or so I hope.....and yes, expensive habit.....bought a 2nd set of D/S wheels, Rekluse, Mosko luggage, big tank, seat....crap, the list goes on.....hope this thing is worth it!
So, lots of posts about what you guys are spending and removing. HOW DOES IT RUN? Does removing the smog crap make a big difference - it should. We need ride reports! Don't make me go get one so I can find out. We've got sunshine and chocolate dirt. I don't know how you guys can handle buying a new bike in the dead of winter and just looking at it and bolting stuff to it.

Installed the 3.0 Rekluse today and rode it around just a bit to seat the clutch in. Clutch install was a breeze. Still too much snow here (off-road) to get much of a sense of the bike. Power possibly seems down from my FX450 Husaberg but it only has a couple of miles on it and it quite quiet, exhaust wise. Steering seems very light as does the whole bike although on the scales it was only 12 LBS less than my Berg (also fitted with a Shorai battery- so 4 LBS of that 12 is not the battery)
Seat is a rock, I have a "soft" Seat Concepts kit to install....hopefully that will be an improvement.
I really need a full off-road day of riding it to give much of ride review though.

Actually there are quite a few changes to the motor which is why they took so long to get through CARB. Just curious if they are ridable out of the box.
