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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Essential Mods/Farkles for TE250 Dual Sport Trip?

I bought this '07 TE 250 last year to go out to Colorado this summer and, wonder of wonders, it looks like it may actually happen! I've stripped the bike of road gear and have been riding it as a pure trail/enduro machine for about six months now and absolutely LOVE it. But, time to start getting her ready for the August week in Colorado. I've ordered a Nomadic rack and plan to mount an appropriate Pelican case and possibly a RotoPax 1Gal aux tank. I was wondering what other mods might be necessary for a largely dirt trip but with some road sections. I do need to put the signals back on and get it plated and I have a JD Jetting kit to experiment with. What else have the veterans found to be important mods for this bike on this kind of trip?
 
Good grips. Extra mineral oil for the clutch. Secure your brake pad pins with safety wire or some silicone so they don't disappear. Some extra oil in case. Quick steel for roadside repair. Make sure your overflow/degas bottle has some coolant in it. Grease your linkage. Lube your throttle tube and cables. Make sure your battery is good. Check all fastners for tightness. Sharpen your pegs. Just a few things
