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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Counter balancer cost.

I was looking in the classifieds and saw that great deal on Nick Bursons '09 TC 510. :applause: I see he has a counter balancer in it. We all know the 510's are pretty buzzy with out a cb. With that #1 plate :thumbsup: we can see a cb doesnt hurt performance.

I had originally thought I would not want a cb in my stump puller, but...it sure would be nice to smooth it out. There is a local race shop that can balance my crank. Anyone have any experience running a balanced crank over a cb? Anyone know the parts cost for a counter balancer?
 
I'd be suprised if crank balance made enough of a difference. If it was that out of balance to cause those 510 vibes it would have smashed the bearings and left the journals early on. IMO.
 
Try these first if the buzz in the bars is what you care about.

They made a big difference on my 510

I'd say at least a 20% reduction in vibes, maybe more, I'm just want to be careful not to oversell. They did not turn the 510 into a drz400.

My hands were not numb after a week in baja.

I did a shorter 4 day trip the year prior, with similar daily mileage, without the vibranators and my hands were destroyed.

Cheers
 
On the pavement its the seat area (not the seat itself) that is a pain in the butt. lol Thankfully I don't really notice the vibes in the dirt. Thanks for the info. for the bars.
 
I am having George split my case to replace my rod bearing, so I'm having him throw a counter balancer in there as well. I'll let you know what the parts cost when I get the bill.

Not good enough. Since you have oscillating movments you will end up in second order balancing needs, which meens you need a separate counterweight turning in the opposite direction compared to the crankshaft.
You could however probably do some small improvments balancing your crank.
