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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anybody try 15-48 gearing on the TE630?

Hi Guys, I know most have dropped a tooth on front sprocket and are running 14-42 setup.
I have even heard of some running a stock front and going to larger rear 15-45 set-up.

After checking the gearing computer, I think I an going to try a 15-48 set-up. So stock front and up 6 teeth on the rear. This bike is being road most on trails with some two lanes to connect the trails. It's not a commuter bike. Has anybody else tried this set-up? If so how did it work put?

Thanks
 
I am running 15-47 and love it!!! Ran 15-45 and found myself still feathering the clutch down low to much for my taste (Im 240 lbs.) I think dedicated dirt bikes are running at least 50 tooth rears, so I'd say go for it!

Bike pulls great off the line w/15-47 tooth and still plenty left for the freeway... I dont ride it faster than 75 mph anyway.. .crazy to go any faster on knob tires in my opinion.

(FYI- I did have to buy a new chain but simply upgraded to a gold RK racing chain)

Why not go with 14/45 instead? That will give you almost identical gearing as 15/48 but should still allow you to use the stock chain. Cheaper to buy a new countershaft sprocket than a quality chain.

I'm running 15-46 now. I liked 14-44, but the wheel never was in a very happy spot.
I think 15-47 would be a great setup.

14-44 was very tight with the stock chain for me.

Really? I used my stock chain with 15-45 and still had ample clearance. I was running 130/80-18 FIM tires at the time though. Maybe a higher profile, higher knobbed tire would've been different.

Thanks for the replies. I already have the 48 tooth rear sprocket. Was going to replace the chain anyway. I will post the results when I get get the bike back together.
