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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Holy moley, you went from 51T to 45T !
Must be doing some pavement burning.
What's on the front sprocket and what is top speed with that gearing?
 
286# is a bit higher than I would have thought, but not bad.
Mine has similar add-ons so probably in the same ball park.

I actually never road in the dirt with the 15-51, I knew I was going to roll down some serious trails so I had been running a 13-51 combo ! I am actually kind of suprized how slow it goes now in first with the 15-45, it's good for 50-55 but that's just me I don't like to rev it high going down the paved. Wheelies in 6th easy. The FMF and JD I just barely put on and now the bike is angry with power ! I would say a 16-42t would be a highway scooter but I don't think they make a 16... I am going to put a oversize rotor on it soon and street tires to play with but am having a hard time because it's such a great dirt bike :) as soon as I pin the throttle in 6th I will let you know the speed :)

I weighed some tires and tubes i was installing the other day and you would be amazed how much a big off road tire and HD tube weights. You can add 5-15 pounds right there EZ. Damper, 2-3 pounds, steel sprocket, 2 pounds rotor guards 1.5 pounds, skid plate 3-6 pounds, Ez to add 20 plus pounds to a bike ASAP.
 
Who makes your bar clamps, are those Scott or BRP? I like the 13/52 combo too, the bike has the power to run high gears anywhere, but in some of the rocky technicals down here in the Mojave, it's just safer to go slow.
 
They are Scotts....

I wonder if you could adjust it through your seat? You'd have a hell of a time explaining to your riding buddies what exactly you were doing... ;)

85mph , I think there is some type of timing govener or something . It's like the bike hits a aerodynamic wall as the engine stops puting out power. The JD was set at red 7 and hit 82 and then picked up 3 mph when I went to 8... Doesn't seem like bikes revs were very high.

so you set it to your liking, then tucked it away. What is it set at, out of interest.

Yes, green/blue 4 , air screw 3 1/8 turns out, green 3, yellow 5, red 8 ,yellow/blue 3, red blue 4.... I originally had it richer but enjoy it smooth on bottom end.
