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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello everyone. I'm a newer owner of a 08 te450 and did the Colorado section of the TAT and had to take pavement back while on the Utah border. I hadn't planned that but had to return due to an emergency at work. That means I put about 350 miles of pavement at ~5 to 6k rpm on my bike. Any suggested maint I should do? I don't live near a dealer, 5 hours one way 8 hours another. The hardest thing I've ever done on a bike is swap jets on my old drz but I'm game! After the ride I changed the oil and filter and repacked the muffler. My bike is running the PU kit.
Love the bike and want her to live a long life any suggestions are appreciated.
 
Just to clarify i will do the scheduled maint, I'm worried about the things that the long road ride may have accelerated or caused. Thanks!
 
If it was only sitting at 5-6000 rpm then I'd say it would be fine. If you sat on 10500rpm for long Id start to worry. Did you have any feeling left in your wrists at the end of it though? :)
