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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Gear ratios on the RS300R and the RS500R are definitely trail riding friendlier with a low 1, then closer ratio, but they are still final grared more for hiway use than technical trails.Did SWM change internal ratios ?
I have the stock 13/47 gearing on my TE 510 and there is no way I would want it any lower. I think the stock gearing for it is perfect for off road.
Did SWM change internal ratios ?
Hi, everyone.
I am looking to cross referance some parts on my RS500. Starting with ECU and sensors, also be aware if you happen to fry a Lambder sensor ...they are expensive.. Here is Oz you are looking at $475. Dont drop them in a cold river when they are hot... They dont like it..
TE had no counter balancer but SWM doesNo, this bike is a 2010 TE series bike. They do work on the weak spot of that model. I have a RS500, I rode the TE510 side by side the TE had 1500 klms on it, and the RS500 was far more plush and had a smooth power delivery, Dual exhaust benefit I was assume.
Well guys in had my first dealings with SWM parts. The front sprocket is not Husqvarna. It is SWM ...Don't go buying TE510 2010 front,, it won't fit.. drive shaft is Z14, Husqvarna is Z12
