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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just bought my 2010 smr 510 yesterday and am curious if there is a special trick to the fork lock that im not seeing. i put the key in, twist about 60 degrees to the left and can push it in slightly, but no locking. I am using the same key as the ignition, did the bike originally come with a separate key?
Please help...i dont want to see my new baby get stolen :(
 
That would fit, same key as ignition. Here is some info in owner manual
STEERING LOCK (TE-SMR)
The motorcycle is equipped with a steering lock (1) on the R.H.
side of the steering head tube.
To lock it, procede as follows:
turn the handlebar leftwards, place the key in lock and turn
counterclockwise. Push the key inwards (if necessary, turn to
and from). Turn the key clockwise and remove it from the lock.
To unlock the steering lock, reverse the above procedure.

I don't bother with the steering lock, one swift knock/kick to the 'bars and it's no longer a lock, but a thing that rattles inside the head stem. Not to mention if they want the bike enough it's just as easy to pick it up and worry about the lock later.
 
figured it out. you must put the key in, turn the lock and start to turn the bars clockwise untill the latch slides through the slot w/ in the frame!
