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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
How loud is the FMF? How much $$$ ? I may have to invest.
Going from a stock TE muffler to the FMF I can see that it would bump the rumble up a bit... those stock TEs are pretty quiet.This is my 511 w/FMF Powercore4 Definitely louder than stock but I like the sound way better not to mention
the added performance. http://youtu.be/0IBjF95EpME
Just installed a PC4 on my TE511 last night, everything went well except the clamp from the stock muffler was too large in diameter to tighten around the PC4's mid-pipe. Did anyone else run in to this problem? Solutions?
I did a dual sport ride in Jersey yesterday. The course I did was blacktop and dirt roads and 1 singletrack section. The minute I entered the tight slow trail I stalled. High whoops first gear though with some clutch. Halfway through the pretty short trail it stalled again. I used less clutch rest of the way and no more stalling. Bike ran fine everywhere else on ride though.Hey Dan, I raised the idle speed on my 511 and it really seemed to help cure the stalling issue. Rode Georgetown last
weekend and it ran perfect. Jerry
You can flash a 2011 ecu with 2012 settings. JD may help, but you will still flame out. I am told the pcv solves the issue.
has anyone heard of any other exhaust companies coming out with an exhaust for the te449 anytime soon. i mean i like the arko but 1,500 buck screw that. and fmf is ok but imho it looks ugly. people should post pics of the ones they do have tho i would like to see what it looks like on
