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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Putting starter switch on a te570?

Gday,

New here / first post, long time lurker.

From Australia where everything is upside down and it's hot or cold, no warm!.
Long story short, have a 2001 te570 and am in the middle of a full rebuild on pretty much everything as well as converting it over to mostly motard setup (so will have new forks and everything to match so on the road it's a beast).

My main problem I have is this, has anyone put a elec starter switch on / added a battery etc for all electrics before?.

I'm ok with spending money to get it to work as I paid next to nothing for the bike in the first place, so if I have to spend a few thousand and then sell it for a few more on top, winner winner chicken dinner!.

Also has anyone got any advice on what pistons will last longer then stock as I completely destroyed mine, have been thinking of making something myself, however if there's an 'off the shelf' kit etc I'd rather do that as I don't have much free time!

Cheers and spose I should chuck up a pic, this is as it currently sits in my living room.

If it's a left kick I don't think it can be done. Well not un less you have some very good engineering skills and are able to mod the engine side cover
