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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

K270 dualsport tire pressure?

After reading many favorable reviews on this site I decided to buy a K270 for the rear of my TE511 as it is now my dual sport bike and sees 60% - 70% street while riding from home to dirt roads for fishing and what not.

I've been running it at about 18 - 20 PSI and find it will not slow down on the road, if I hit the breaks it likes to lock up almost instantly.

What would you say is the best on-road pressure?

I read, here, that 7 psi is good off road. I need to figure out a good way to pump it back up on the way home. But to date have been running it at 18 - 20 PSI off-road too.

7 psi off and 12-14 on it what I run. Good tire for DS.

Thanks! What kind of wear-mileage you getting running it at 12-14 on road? I bought the 4.5 because I wasn't sure the 5.10 would fit on the 511, but I might try the 5.10 next time. Which one are you using?

I have three of these tires in different sizes on different bike. Good long wearing tires but not for racing as they give up traction when pushed. Also see that some at 4 ply and some are 6. I have 1000 miles on the one on my 02 CR250 and it still has a lot of life in it.
