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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Great Site!!

I did a lot of quick research before purchasing my 2014 Husky TE511 a few weeks ago. Café Husky was an important part of my decision to purchase. It was nice to have a sense of what I was getting into (reality) before buying. I want to thank all of the participants and organizers of this awesome site.

The new bike flamed out and stalled on my initial road drive home, but I kept my cool. If I had not read the threads at the site prior, I would not have been cool with it. I spoke with the dealer who encouraged me to bring it in soon, which I will. I took the new bike out to the mountains yesterday with some buddies. I was fully expecting the bike to stall or flame out a lot. Surprisingly it only stalled a few times on the road and not at all on the dirt (it seems to prefer the dirt:)) which works for me. So it appears to have gotten better with some more miles logged (consistent with what Café Husky and the dealer said).

I will be fixing up a few things initially such as the stock license plate bracket and turn signals, as well as looking into extending my gas range and perhaps a small pack for the bike. All of which I have also found on this site.

I am looking forward to many more SEG miles on the bike, and hope that I can return the favor of sharing my future learnings with others at this site.

Happy 2014!
 
Welcome aboard!
The Te511 is an awesome bike. Just after I purchased mine, I took it to baja for bitchin trip to MEX with BAJABOUND MOTO. Had a blast and the bike didn't skip a beat. I put 2400 miles on mine since September. Lots of cool mods you need to do to make the bike more betta! :thumbsup:
 
Enjoy that beast.

Got the powerup plug in it yet? I would not ride it without. How about the rear sporket, not running the 40 right?
