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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Te 630 14 T Front Sprocket Ahhh... that's better.

thanks - I've bought a ton of stuff there, in my top three online retailers.
I was pretty sure the 610 part was a fit, I won't even have to change my "machine profile" there :D

I love how roadworthy the 630 is as geared....but IMO it's a tad tall - I rarely get into top gear unless I'm seriously on the road.
I'd rather have the snort down low and have it spinning in it's happy zone on the two lane.
 
What is sixth gear like now? I don't think I want to go all the way down a tooth in the front - that's about 3? teeth in the rear? I really like being able to just lope along at 75 in 6th. Having said that, if I'm only going 70 sixth is actually a little too tall. I'm thinking of just dropping a tooth on the rear to start.

The stock gearing is too tall for the bike. Going down one tooth in the rear will make it worse, going up one will do virtually nothing. Try a 14T front and you'll find what everybody else found....nervana. :thumbsup:

The motor is happy buzzing along at five grand. I get 5200 for 75. If you run road tires on the rear and are always doing pavement at high speed, then maybe the stock gearing would work.
 
I just ordered an Ironman 43t from Dirt Tricks....they do a number of sizes including 41 and 43, but no 42.
Also a set of Fuji-lock sprocket bolts after reading the oem fasteners are not nylok or Fuju-lock, and have been known to be found loose.

I suspect the 14/43 will be ideal considering the bike is used more offroad than on, and on road it's two lane and not interstate.
The added tooth in the rear is a pretty minute change (0.3333 vs. 0.3256) in the overall ratio, but on the good side :thumbsup:
 
I, for one think the TE 630 has the sweetest wide ratio 6 speed tranny on the planet! You can lope along the trail in 1st and cruise comfortable on the highway at pretty much any sane speed you want. Go down a tooth on front or up two or three on back or both to suit your driving habits and you are good to go! Perfect!

I agree, I'm still in break-in mode but I droped down to a 14T and just shifting into 6th at around 60mph. Perfect
 
I find the stock gearing perfect on the TE but that was only after the power up kit, Leo VInce full TI exhaust and a JD tunner. I can idle along at 55 mph in 6th with ease now since there is a significantly greater amount of power/torque at 3K rpm. This was not evident before all the mods.

Those that are upgrading the front or rear stock sprockets,, pm me with what you want for your take offs.
 
well....I feel a bit stupid today. I was sure you'd be able to remove the front sprocket on the 630 without breaking the chain - by just removing the clutch slave just enough to set it out of the way.
Tried that, didn't work. :banghead:
The case that the slave bolts to is in the way, not the slave....and btw, loosening the slave WILL let some oil out :censored:

So I popped the master link and swapped the 14t for the 15t.....and as I was doing it brown santa pulled up in front of the house and dropped off my 43t Ironman
Perfect timing :banana:

I spoke with Nate at Dirt Tricks when ordering it, and asked for a sprocket bolt kit with Nylok nuts, as I'd read a couple of loose sprocket bolt threads on the interwebz and wanted to cover that base. He uses Fuji-lock nuts, and threw in a set for free....but mentioned the bolts might be a couple mm too short, and if so don't use them, as the Fuji-locks need threads sticking out to get good purchase.

I'm taking off the oem sprocket bolts......lo and behold - the factory uses Fuji-lock nuts and liquid thread locker.
So I'm cleaning the dried goop from the oem bolts (the ones he included were too short) and putting it back together here after a bite to eat.
 
So the stock ones are fuji-locks? Looks like it. I'd rather run nylocs, lock tite 'em.

Yeah, you gotta drop the master link off.

Stock sprocket is a 42 and you went to a 43? Everyone says the stock rear is aluminum? Hmmm...if I was changing would probly do 44 or 45 then. 43 is probly good though.
 
You really cant slide the CS sprocket off with the chain still wrapped around it on the 630???? Bummer...

I went with a 43 because Ironman makes a 41 or 43 (and other bigger ones), but not a 42. I dropped the countershaft to a 14 for the desired effect....the 43 was chosen because I didn't want to really gear it down, I would have likely selected a 42 Ironman if one was available.
The 14t was the main deal, the Ironman was for longevity over the alloy Husky (by Supersprox) piece. I've yet to wear an Ironman out.
 
during our testing we found using a 45 on the back required the rear axle/tire to be moved forward and then was too close to the fender flap and the tire (stock Karoo) started to wear through it.
 
To be honest, i did not managed to look at what I have-motorcycle sprockets (sm610 08), but I think they are too short (first gear is totally useless), 6th gear is up to now reached 152km/h (95 miles). Unfortunately I do not know at what rpm, but certainly this was not a final speed. My intention is to replace the front sprocket with a larger, for smaller rpm at cruising speed. I think it will however 2th able to do a power whellie? ;)
