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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Mikuni TM36-31 on a '89 510TE?

Hi, has anyone tried a flatslide Mikuni TM36-31 on a 510 and can share what jetting they use?

Got a TM36 (w/ acc. pump) leftover from a XT500 and my 89 510TE has a scrap Dell Orto 40mm.
I think the early a/c 510 had a 36mm pumper carb so it should work ok, right?

External size is very similar between the two and a correct rubber manifold is available from Mikuni. Only special part needed would be a stepped piece between carb and airbox rubber.
 
I installed a 40mm Keihen FCR on my 86 510. Bike runs and starts much better than the Dellorto. Good luck!
 
Thanks! I've never ridden a 510 so have no experience at all with the carbs they used.
But a brand new TM38 was about the same cost that I'd have to spend to fix the worn Dell Orto, so the choice was easy.
