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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Is my front sprocket shaft excessively worn?

Here's a good thread, among others (you can find other threads using Searc above):

Now I've not done this...would like to but can't really reconcile the cost of it (for me, personally...not at all suggesting it's not well worth it.)

Thank you
I feel confortable driving the bike without a cush-hub. I thought that, because of the big 600cc cylinder, at open the throttle it was not going to be gentle at all. But, although the bike has a superb response and a lot of HP at low rpm I can manage driving it without any suddenness nor jerk at the rear sprocket. May be (I don't know) because I'm use to drive the small TE310...
Quite different was the Yamaha XTY660Z tenere. This bike has a cush hub but, in my opinion, even though having the cush hub has a worse “rear sprocket feeling” that my TE630

So, for me, as far as concerning to driving feeling, so far the bike is good without a cush - hub :)

Other issue is, of course, concerning to engine reliabiity... :thinking:
 
Thought I'd bump this thread. Just changed out a sunstar sprocket for a JT, and the JT has a much tighter fit on the splines. Not sure if they're all like this, but for this sample size of one, the JT has less, as in almost 0 play on the splines.
 
Went with JT at 6K when the oem was chain worn. Spline fit is tight. Will be curious to see how it's doing at twice the miles.
