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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Cush Hub TE630

By the way, fits what? A 630? A 98-04 610? Or an 05+ 610?

Anything you can wedge it into and make the appropriate spacers for.

Fits up quite well to my 2007 TE610.

220mm and 240mm rotors are available for it too.

The Sprocket-Rotor distance is exactly the same between the SV650/GS500 Cush setup as the stock TE610 hub, 156mm.

Thanks very much! That's exactly the info I was wondering about.
 
No problem.

I need to remember to weigh my wheels this weekend when I swap them, those SV650 rims are pretty light.
 
Yep, I'm very interested in this as well. I have a friend with a KTM640, if I can convince him to let me pull his bike apart I could get some measurements comparing the stock TE630 hub to the KTM 640's.
 
I did get a response from the ebay guys asking for a few measurements to confirm they can make one, sent them in, but never heard back. I'll follow up.
 
Did you ever get any response?
Otherwise I'm going to have to shell out the money and go with a Woody Wheels setup.
 
No response. It's ebay seller crbmotor2010. I just sent another follow up message, but I'm not holding my breath..
 
Woody's Wheel Works is now starting to look into a cush hub for my TE630. So, if you are thinking about a cush hub from them then now is the time to start doing it - see if we can get any sort of significant numbers together for a possible group discount etc.
 
They have given me an approximate price for their cush hub, upgraded bearings, and re-using my Takasago rim. So, I am on the list. My wheel will go to them when I get the bike back from Zip Ty.
 
I have been talking with Zach, but I'm sure they all have a fair idea what they're doing ;)

I'm looking at using the RAD Equalizer 'Husqvarna 4 Stroke' cush rear hub, but Woody's have replied with a response talking about modifying a RAD KTM cush rear hub, so it might be that this particular 'Husqvarna 4 Stroke' from RAD only fits the TE511 and smaller bikes - maybe the 630's use a different hub...I've emailed RAD for some clarification on that and I'll let you know what comes back.

I've also pointed this thread out to Woody's Wheel Works and asked if they could perhaps spell out the options for 630 owners here, rather than having to respond to similar/the same questions in a bunch of seperate emails. I'll point some of the ADVRider threads here as well in case anyone else on there is interested.
 
Last time at Woodys they showed the modified hub to me. They have it beefed up vs the stock RAD hub. Bearings are All Balls unless you get the upgraded bearings. Not much additional cost.
 
Woody's used to mod RAD KTM hubs before there was a RAD Husky specific hub that was plug and play.
I wonder if they are out of the Husky specific RAD hubs?
:excuseme:
 
Thanks Kenneth and Bushwa.

Hopefully someone from Woody's will chime in, as I'd be interested to know what they're beefing up in the hub and/or why they don't use the RAD 'Husky 4 Stroke' hub.
 
Woodys comments would be welcomed. From my visual it was obvious that they increased the size of the internal webs between bearing housing and the outter hub.
 
Im finding this thread interesting and its already answered some questions i had.
I was looking at those RAD Husky 4 stroke hubs aswell, they seemed to be the only cush hubs available for my 2008 SM610.
I think i will end up destroying the standard hub on my SM610 with constantly riding on tarmac.
Hopefully an available hub will be found.
I will definitely be interested in a group buy if one is made available.

Ken, add me to the list if you think it all checks out, I'll buy a rear Cush hub if woody's builds it. If you talk to them ask them if I send both wheels in how much for the Cush hub add on for the rear and a new light weight hub for the front?
 
Put me down as another potential interest on this. I'm definitely interested, but trying to ration bike expenses out past the new year (as I am in the midst of an unanticipated 1600 bike repair now...kind of tough going into the holidays.) After the new year I'd be willing to splurge on this. On that note- can anyone give a hint as to what this may cost?

Spice Weasel- Your hub should be fine. The cush hub is more of a help to lessen the shock to the final drive (counter shaft, clutch cush/cup washers, transmission, etc.) That's where the pricey fixes enter in...toasting your CS or any internals and you're in the red quick.
