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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Off-road tires on the Husqvarna smr510? The size of wheels and tires?

Please tell me what wheels and tires can be put on Husqvarna smr510 without alterations?
From the TE 510 wheels with tires suitable or there is another fork and frame?
What kind of tires and wheels stand up to the maximum size of the bike without any problems?
Need a second set of wheels for off-road use.
 
I just put a set of Avon Distanzia's on the stock wheels for "light" offroad duty, and they work pretty well. The 17" front doesn't dig in in soft stuff like a larger/thinner offroad knobby would, but they get by for light stuff and they grip very well on pavement. I'd say for "dual sport" kind of riding, not true "offroad" riding, the're fine.
 
I run this set up on my 2010 SMR 510 when I go off road

I'm trying to do the same to my 08 SMR450 but keep my stock front wheel and large brake. I'm on motorcycle-superstore trying to find a matching set with decent knobbies that fit. I see the Avon AM44 and AM43 that fit perfectly, but still not agrressive enough for me and they're pricey as hell. It's all soft dirt and sand where I am in SC.

Shinko has a nice 150/70R rear for $90 but I'm having trouble finding a knobbied front. I'm not sure on how much leinancy smaller or bigger you have on these rims.
 
To Tech 3 - Answer please

Please indicate the size of your wheels and tire size?
And preferably a specific model of wheels and tire

Do you use a ready-made set of wheels?
 
The SMs have a wider triple clamps that make is hard to use the dirt wheels.

I have an extra set of SM wheels with a 2.5" x 19 rim in the front and a 3.50" x 17 rim in the back with TKC-80's

It's an expensive proposition.

I guess you can use spacers on the front dirt brake caliper and tap the mounting bolt holes to a 10mm thread
