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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Street riding...RPM's

Hello,
I recently took my TE450...all stock...out for a street cruise. I was doing 50-60 mph for some of the straights. I think the rpm's were around 5,000 - 5,500. What is safe to ride at for extended periods on these bikes? i have a buddy coming in from Washington and he wants to cruise to Big Bear, beach and Julian in So-Cal. I'll let him ride my street bike and I figured I'd ride the TE. I just do not want to blow it up. Thoughts? :cheers:
 
I have the equivalent of your gearing on my TE 250 and am OK with 50-55 and the rpms.

Not a big deal to me. The engine is made more for racing but will be OK with the occasional street trips.

Racing these in Baja, my dealer said they are on the rev limiter for extended periods of time when the occasion permits...12,000 +
 
I was not happy w/the stock gearing on the road. Especially on the way down the hill from Big Bear. I just didn't like running around the 5500+RPM mark for long periods. And if I needed to pass someone etc. So I bumped the front sprocket to a 15 a have been very happy w/both on road and off road now. I mostly ride fire breaks so I really didn't need low gearing.

Just a thought for you...
