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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Steering stop question

On my TE310 I noticed that I have quite a bit of adjustment left on my stops where I can turn them in much more before the triple clamps would interfere or contact anything before hitting the stops.
My question is-why wouldn't you want these things adjusted in all the way they can possibly go? Wouldn't you want the tightest turning radius you can get? I can't think of any good reason not to-it's not like it would help keep you from swapping out or anything-I mean, if you're anywhere close to those stops in a bad situation you're hurting already.
 
Not sure, on a stock bike, but on mine I have them backed out a fair way to prevent the handlebar mount to triple clamp bolts from interfering with my steering damper clamp.

It doesn't affect normal riding, but can be a bit of a nuisance if I'm trying to crank the bars over at low speed, like to turn my bike around in a tight area, etc.
 
You should try a TE610... very wide turning radius, makes turning around quite the chore in tight places.
 
A N D the 630. The turning circle defies belief. The bike is as heavy as a grown cow and turns like an oil tanker. Am still waiting for CCM to come up with a 450cc SM so that I can tip the b*gger over a cliff.
 
Congested inner city riding is comparable with Super Moto. Winding amongst tailbacked traffic needs a tight turning circle ... and an agile bike with lots of backup power (which the 630 definitely is NOT!)

The amount of turn before the wheel pushes pass center, the stop helps to keep the bars/wheel from locking/jerking pass center.
