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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

First Ride on the TE510 today

I couldn't have picked a better day for my first ride in the one and a half years since I sold the XR400. It was only 42c :doh: and I havent been on a motorcross track since the late 90's. These are the things you need to contend with when you get to drop the kids off at the grandparents :applause:

I swear to god after the first five minutes I was ready to go home with forearm pump. It didn't take long for it to pass but I will need to adress that in the gym and more seat time.

Anyway I'm seriously impressed at the at the speed and accelleration of the 510. It was a bloody missile. I will need to add a few more teeth to the rear sprocket to made it more manageable as I will be mainly using the bike for trails with my mates. The brakes were orsome though

I did run into a problem though, the hose clamp between the carb and the head becaame loose and the bike died after a backfire and stall. I was not impressed at pushing the thiung back to the pits in that heat.
(I would rather the heat than the snow you poor guys have to indure though)

After riding the rock infected tracks and dust infected motorcross tracks in Oz make me realise how lucky I was in New Zealand with the prestine enviroment I had at myt back door. All is still good though.

c yas later
 
XR400 to a TE510... Nice upgrade !!
I saw some pictures of New Zealand that my folks took while
vacationing there a couple years ago and the scenery was just
incredible. Beautiful waterfalls and green rolling hills.

Although I put a plate on mine I still went up two in the back.
It made first gear a little more friendly in the tight trails.
Make sure you check out the forums for all the "must do's"
Did you get the "power up kit?

Congrats on your new ride.:cheers:
 
The power up kit has been done and the throttle stop / plate has been removed.

I read the forums and found the process very easy due to the excellent posts by the other members:thumbsup:

Thanks guys.
