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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

rear sprocket thoughts te511

im looking to gear up, and need to choose a rear sprocket, im thinkin 43, and am used to clutching it in tight technical, with the bike going through break-in, getting on the street seems like its geared too low to push higher rpm cruising, anyone running 43 that can share experience? how are these fuel systems at compensating ratio at lower rpm loads? I guess the last question would be, how durable are these clutches?
 
The clutch on these bikes are bulletproof. Most durable clutch I've ever had and I haven't been easy on it. I went down to a 48t rear on mine. It's still not really freeway worthy. It is definitely
wheelie worthy on the street. Riding wheelies is effortless and it's still good for singletrack too.
 
I'm running a 40 on mine great for my street tard. 3rd gear wheelies on the 511 aren't a problem. Open Akro map 3, fmf, jumper and street set up.
 
good to hear, some of the local roads run 50-65, and this presidents weekend has uped the traffic flow, and going slow is downright dangerous, im not considering any of that until I get through the breakin and power it up, for the time, ill try a reduced sprocket, or two.
 
15/48 were the original BMW sprocket sizes and is what was on Andy Jefferson's 449. I rarely ride on the tarmac and need low speed for rock crawling, so 14/52's are what I run. All of our bikes use Ironman tool steel sprockets. They are as light as aluminum and you can get 4000-6000+ miles out of them. http://www.ziptyracing.com/iron-man-sprockets/
