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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Engine Noise...or dont worry, its normal.

I haven't heard running or seen another Terra/ Strada except for mine. Seen a few videos on you tube but its hard hear the engine. I know its a thumper and big singles arnt known as the smoothest or quietest engines in the world.

Question is; does every other Terra's engine sound like an old diesel truck running lol. When idol mine knocks and clicks. Makes me think something is wrong.

At low rpm driving it makes a pretty good knocking noise (below 2.5k rpm) above 3K noise starts to go away. Engine is very happy at or above 4000.

I do have a Ricochet plate but it dosent matter if I take it off or leave it on....only difference it makes is how loud the knocking noise is.
 
Ya mine like it over 3K for sure. A bit noisy under that while riding. But does not knock or click while idling. What fuel are you running?
 
I think there is some loudness to the engine, it is 12:1 compression. At higher rpms, there is more float and that would quiet it down. My New BMW R100GS sounded pretty loud also. My Terra has what could be construed as top end noise. If it is abnormally loud, well get it to the dealer pronto.
 
I'm in the same boat, Richochet bash plate and it sounds like a bucket of bolts below 3 grand
This really doesn't bother me at all because it is soooo smooth once the revs get up to the happy spot!
 
Difference between RON and AKI[edit]

Because of the 8 to 10 point difference noted above, the octane rating shown in Canada and the United States is 4 to 5 points lower than the rating shown elsewhere in the world for the same fuel. See the table in the following section for a comparison.

Ok.........
