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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Not enough room to install, no plans on making one, does not need one. Porting the head seriously increases the low end torque on this engine.

Hmm might be right. I just rode around my yard at idle and I could lock up my front tire and the bike would just push it, at idle. I think any stalling is due to poor clutch work, guess that just takes practice.

Absolute worst set of dirt tires I have ever used...hopefully Husky was obligated to them contractually. If someone actually tested those and said "Yeah, those work well..." I would be shocked. If so, they need to be removed from motor sports for life!

I couldn't find a single thing the Michelin's did right. I thought that pavement was one area they were tolerable until my knobs started just flying off. Sand, rocks, mud, hardpack, they were perfectly equal in sucking everywhere. Consistency they have down pat!

I get a great run from Pirellu's MX Extra. They market them as a practice tyre, most of the features of their 'mid-hsrd' tyre with a bit more tread.
Well priced, grippy and reasonable wear.

My bike runs nothing like that. At low RPMs I need to clutch up to get the bike to wheelie. A 500 class bike shouldn't need rider assistance to loop out. It should have scary powerful torque right from the bottom.

Try adding some rpm to the tickover - I found that an extra 100 rpm made a huge difference way down low. I have not had a ton of experience fiddling way down low as it took me one-half year to get my flameout issues resolved. I literally was thrown over the bars multiple times so I dared not fiddle around down near idle.

I added a solid 1/4 turn (I actually think more like 3/8) and, coupled with all my other little tweaks, it made a world of difference right off idle. Now its simply superb. I can no doubt put myself on my rump with nothing but throttle - I mean absolutely NO tug on the bars.

What happens when you hit the throttle right from idle in first gear? does it bog or hesitate ?
 
Huh, wow. Even when my bike was stock it was not like that. You have the jumper in for race map 2, and now JD tuner right? Map 3 set flashed by zipty? If all that checks out I would start looking at the basics like spark plug, air filter, ground wires stuff like that.

Yep, yup and yep. I only have about 15 minutes on the JD in my front yard. But the thing seems to have made a difference.
