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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi Guys

Hope this is the right place for this post and not a repeat... but I recently ordered a lithium lightweight battery from Moty. I emailed them not too sure re spec to go for and was advised the 4 cell will be fine for my 09 510SMR thumper. Duly paid a week ago and got home today and there she is. She's about a fifth of the weight of my OE item and half the size. And for not a huge amount more than an OE replacement here in the UK. I've not fitted it yet but re service, size, cost and communication I recommend

Be interesting to see how it holds up. That has been my main issues with the newer light weight batteries. Seen plenty fail.
 
Sure, time will tell. My OE item was also getting crushed under the seat and this seemed like a kill two birds solution. I'm only riding when I get the leisure time free and like the idea that you can leave it without hooking up the charger. Every year (due to my own laziness!) I end up buying a new batt. I can bring this indoors and forget it for 6 months methinks.
