• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 offroad gearing

Recently purchased a te630 for racing in the uk rally scene, and i do not have a glue as to what gearing is best suitable for the awsome husky, do i stick with standard gearing or has anybody gone up or down on sprocket size?
 
Most of us have gone down 1 tooth on the front sprocket, from 15 to 14. I was reluctant to do that initially, not wanting to ramp up the highway cruising RPMs. Now that I've done it, I wish I would have done it long ago. Highway RPMs have only gone up by 500, maybe a little less than that. I think it's going to make the bike a lot easier to ride off road.
 
I'm running 15/48 for trail riding. Now that the bike has been treated to an exhaust and JD kit I'll be going 15/45.

what are the max speeds for your racing and how much of it will be single track or riding less than 10 mph? What mods have you done to the bike? exhaust? intake? fuel? tires?

I'm assuming stock chain on this combo as well? It is the one i have been considering, I have the 14 already installed.

Stock chain length will work. It's a bitch to put the wheel back on with the 44 and TM or BRP chain guide. Not a real big deal, and a longer chain will cure that.
 
Longer chain required for 14/46? Does anyone know the actual stock chain spec? The user manual is useless. If a longer chain, would one link be enough or do you guys think it would need two?

I've been running 15/45 with the stock chain. Initially it pulled the wheel closer to mud flap, depending on tire you use it could be too close. It will never getter tighter though as subsequent chain adjustments pull it back slightly.

Cheers SB, I'll give it a try. Reading elsewhere it seems that some people are measuring the chain slack with the bike on the side stand rather than "loaded". Mine seems pretty loose so I'll have to take a look.
 
Just put a 46 on and the stock chain is way too short. Still have a 15 on the front, running a Mitas EF07 on the rear. Not even sure that 2 more links will solve it.
 
IIRC, the stock chain is either 112 or 114 links - I'm fairly sure it is 112. I'd suggest buying 120 links and cutting to length for your sprocket combination.

My 630 is currently fitted with 15/47 which seems to be a good combination for mixed road and off-road riding. I couldn't tell you the chain length. There is a lot of flexibility with good engine torque and the 6 speed box.

Cheers
 
Has anyone tried gearing lower than 14/45? 1Lunger suggested 14/46 for North East enduros. I'm pretty happy with 14/45, but would like to be able to loft the front over trail obstacles with throttle roll on, and I do have a nearly new 47 in the parts bin. Part of my problem is the Safari tank that I usually fill before weekend rides. I'm the emergency gas station for the bikes with ittybitty tanks. However, I'm running a 2day Dual Sport in 2 weeks, and I'm gonna try the 47 on rear since I'll have new rubber. If it's too low, I can swap front back to 15, and the Rekluse should keep technical from being too exhausting for this 50+ rider. Now I just have build the courage to only put 2-2.5 gal in the tank at start:)
 
I run 14/48 which is tool tall for enduro I think. I'm about to change the front to a 13 to be able to easier lift the front and better acceleration/easier drifting out of corners
 
I run 14/46 on my 610 (tuner, pipe, airbox mod) and I ride woods 99% of the time. I feel that dropping to a 13 counter or going up any more in the rear would be too much. I break the rear lose as it is too easy even with a new tire. Everyone's riding style is different, but that's my experience.
