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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

FE/FC Got my 2015 FE501, now what?

my assessment on the new Husky 501...

Compared to my TE510 the 501 has more acceleration and more potency above 80 mph. I did not have a problem pulling
away from the old KTM 525 or early model 690 with my TE510 as a reference.

I'm wondering if many have not had the Euro map loaded on their 501, thus the different perspective of performance.


My 501 quickly deprecated the factory aluminum 50 tooth rear sprocket especially with some sandy and muddy rides. I now run a 14/48 for general ride conditions, 15/48 for more high speed (constantly above 60 mph) rides and a 13/48 for single track dominated conditions.

IMO, I'm very impressed with the new 501.
