• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 with street friendly tires (18,21)

I believe it is a 90/90 front and either 120 or 4.10 rear... Ive used them on both a TE610 and 511. Put a couple thousand miles on 700s on my 610 before I sold it.
 
stock TE630 Karoos (what the bike was delivered with) work well for the pavement.
 
I've ran the 4.0 mt-43 pirelli and while it looked kinda goody it worked well. The skinny tire will fall into corners more. I'd run a 120 without much concern. My local shop recommended it too. I'm running a front tr8 IRC now with a shinko 700 130/80 rear for 50/50 duty. The road manners are pretty good while retaining decent off road ability.
 
Motoz Tractionator Enduro S/T. Well, ok, awful on the street, but they'll constantly be begging you to take them where they belong!

I'd suggest you have a skim through this thread as there are heaps of options and only you really know what riding you want to get from the bike.

Spot on advice. Also keep in mind that a 130 (or whatever size) in one brand may be wider, or more narrow, than the same size of another brand. I'm another that says don't bother w/ a 150. If you're in the camp that feels that wide looks cool keep in mind that you'll have more mass to spin (= eating up your power to the ground, among other things.)
 
The front after a day on the track: at least not ~over~ the edge.

Rear had some room to go:

Yes, road course at track day/school in South Jersey.

I was shocked at how stable the bike was on the course. I firmed up the suspension settings quite a bit, the track was pretty smooth, and there wasn't any drama.

Shifting up and hard on the throttle at last two high-speed turns before the long final straight, I would get a slight front wiggle, especially riding over the apex area, like the motogp guys. Little more body weight over the front took care of that. Too much fun, especially passing sportbikes outta the tighter turns.
 
Priceless look on face of instructor at the start of day (where you follow leader to learn lines).

I'm at the starting line, instructor walks up and points to my front tire. He says, "That tire looks low on pressure."

I said, "I'm running it at 15psi for the track, which is 2psi down from oem recommendation." He squeezes the front tire and just shakes his head.
