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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

post your last purchase for your 630

$1.52 Canadian per Liter

$1.52 Canadian dollars = $1.52 American dollars

$1.52 American Dollars per Liter x 1 Liter/0.264 Gal = $5.76 American dollars per gallon of Brapp

Sounds good to me!
 
^Looks good!

Splurged on some Hammerhead gear. clevis, brake tip, shift lever:

I emailed HH asking which lever would fit the 630. They ignored my question. So, I went searching on this site and other forums. Nothing. Couldn't find any info on what gear lever might fit the 630 though I've read somewhere someone had done it before with some modification. Grabbed the stock lever and began comparing it with the pics on the HH site. Hmm, looks like the "KTM type 9" would fit pretty good. Ordered!

Hammerhead next to stock shift lever:

First thing to do is take care of the bend. Some wood and a larrrrge hammer.

Seems to be working. No heating necessary, just hit it good. Thank goodness it's just the one bend. This lever is tough!

Looks good, however the tip needs some work to get it perpendicular.

Just a little bit of filing here and bob's your uncle.

Now on to the hard part. KTM uses flared shafts apparently. And it's smaller than the Husky's.

Drilled out and filed some grooves as best as I could with a small triangle file. Not ideal.

tapped for a small bolt and a slot was cut

tight, but it fits. Sooner or later the grooves in the lever will wear down and it's going to slip, but for now it's working great. If I had a spare shaft I would've tried to punch the grooves in with a hydraulic press.

Center of tip to center of footpeg is around 5 3/4". Tip size: + 0W. With the longer lever it's much easier to shift now. More so than having it raised up higher. I wear 9 1/2 Sidi boots btw.

Honda clevis drilled out for correct size. Tapped with a spare bolt. And the brake lever needed a bit of filing:

Installed the JD injection doohickey yesterday. I am an unrepentant skeptic about drilling airboxes and opening up mufflers...I do those things and can't really tell any difference. Mostly, they just make the bike louder, which has been well-established to make most anybody think their bike is more powerful. Placebo effects, mostly...1 or 2 HP at most.

But...this JD tuner is the real deal. The best way I can put it...the motor is more urgent. More aggressive response, smoother, and...dare I say it...more powerful. Angrier, when you want it to be. I almost rode off the road coming off apex on a few familiar corners when I whacked the throttle and the front end got light enough to start skittering across the pavement. I had to re-calibrate my corner exit habits. The thing positively leaps forward when twisting the throttle hard.

Something about the richer mixture makes it smoother at higher RPMs. It's easier to ride up in the stronger part of the powerband.

Anyhoo...after the PU kit, this is the best performance money you can spend. I can't believe what a difference a $200 accessory makes.

Thanks, Jesse. Give me a tour of your local trails and I'll have your bike farkled up in no time. :cheers:

Well, around here in Hillbilly Hell, what we call "trails" really amounts to minimum maintenance dirt roads. You'd probably be disappointed. :) I have mountain biked in your neck of the woods, and this place doesn't even compare to what you have there.

I need to get away from this forum. It's expensive! :)

True we do have it good up here. Pretty good in fact. But I like a change of scenery and to get away from all the rain.:thumbsdown:

Where did all the anodized bolts come from? Pro-bolt?

I bought a 610 kit from HTM Racing: http://www.htmracing.it/cms/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
610.jpg
I wrote down a list of all the lengths, but I can't bloody well find that sheet of paper anywhere. Sorry. Anyways, the pic shows what comes in the kit.
It covers both sides of the engine pretty much. A few bolts weren't quite long enough and one had to be shortened.
So far they have been awesome to deal with. They take the time to reply to all your questions in a timely manner. And their prices are reasonable for
most items. The exception so far has been the bolt kit. (cough120euroscough) Shipping is through UPS taking about a week from Italy to Canada.
They also sell a finned oil filter cover for the 630:

The flanged bolts are from Pulse Racing: http://pulseracingproducts.co.uk/
Here's my thread on their bolts: http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/pulse-racing-products-good-experience.19938/
