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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

sprocket gearing change

I own a 2008 te 450 I'm looking to get a more highway friendly rpm out of the engine, I don't know much about the stock gearing or what I would have to do to achieve this if even possible. Any insight to the following would be greatly appreciated. At this point 55 mph turns around 4500 or more rpms. I'm not sure how long the engine would last at that rate or even if the motor can handle it. I do love my first gears single track ability but I still would like to see the rpms drop even if it means changing out my sprocket everytime I get to the trail. Thx
 
I would start with increasing the counter shaft sprocket from a 13 to a 14, it is the cheapest way to try and will make a difference.
