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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

That's what I was thinking.
I don't get the 2 pipes thing. Those cans are really heavy. What's the advantage? Am I missing something?

I suspect that it is to meet sound regs. The 610 just barely met the requirements and with the extra CC's they may have needed more sound absorbtion area. I don't think the extra weight is a deal killer because most people will retrofit a non cat high performance exhaust anyway. A friend of mine just got a KTM superduke and the first mod was a slip on exhaust. I was shocked by how heavy the stock system was, it must weigh about 40 lbs.

Was hoping for a all new frame / less weight etc. but in the end i like it, the old design is very good and I like the differentiation from the other DOHC bikes to make it unique. That's going to be one fun bike. Looks a little funky in TE form.
That pic reminds of how they looked in the late 70's early 80's (the stance) almost like it lost a couple inches of suspension travel

But Alas i was the one who ended up with all the teething problems--Nowdays i rather wait and see what a new model will do. Once it is sorted -----I can see it standing in place of my 09 -610TE next to my 450 TE.

Concept bike from a few years ago. I thought the new 630 might have that motor in a modern frame.
There may be enough change to justify an addition to the stable.

308 lbs. for the carburetor version The addition of EFI with the fuel pump and electronics added a few lbs. and the muffler/cat are about 14 lbs. ea. so adding another one should have brought the bike to pretty close to 330. Go with a light weight slip on and a feather weight battery and you should be able to bring it back down to the 300 mark.

330 lbs was TE630 spec which normally come with single exhaust. The picture shows the header going out the left side which would imply the TE now has dual exhausts, but I really cannot tell from the picture.
It certainly is fun speculating though

TE630 = Duals
