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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Well, am now planning on keeping the 510 until at least the completion of the Desert 100 event on April 10-11th. I want to take it to this event, but it's got a Pirelli MT43 trials tire on the back, which probably won't do well in that environment :doh:.

What I'm considering is to use the stock tire (Enduro Comp III 120/90) from the TXC 250 on the 510. The EC is just sitting on a shelf now thanks to Motosportz's Motoz Tractionator S/T. I don't remember the size of the stock tire that came on the 510. Do you all think it would work for a desert type ride? I plan on keeping the Pirelli on the shelf in case the Motoz ever wears out:D
 
the EC might be a bit on the small size for that 510. you might burn through your traction and that added weight might make it handle funny in corners.

then again it might work great!
 
Yeah, I'm trying to be cheap. I believe the 510's original tire was a 140/? EC III. It worked fine for 400 miles of Baja with about half the knobs remaining at the beginning of the ride. The Baja ride finished it off! Didn't know if the 250's EC size would be worth trying in a desert environment on the big bike. I'm not at a skill level where it should matter that much, just don't want any huge surprises due to a misfit on a rear tire. I should probably just splurge for a Motoz I/T, they aren't very expensive.
