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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Te630 - Exhaust Sytem Very Hot?

Hello Folks,

About 6 months ago I bought a TE630 with approx. 6k miles.
The bike is fun to ride on the road as well as on dirt.
But there is one thing that I absolutely don't like:
The exhaust system including the silencers with the heat shields are getting very, very hot and if you don't pay attention you get burned.
I've been riding all kind of motorcycles since more than 35 years. But I have never had a bike that created that much heat.

What could cause that excessive heat?
Has anybody the same problem?
Is there a solution (Adjustments? Other Exhaust system? Modification of the existing exhaust, etc.) ?

I once landed on the exhaust pipes of a Husaberg.:eek:
I still have the branding on my bud cheeks and don't what to experience melted plastic on and in my skin again.;)
 
The original exhaust is very hot. Melted luggage straps I had. It is the catalytic converters that creat all the heat. I replace the entire system to a single sided muffler. Normal heat now.
 
Mekanik,
Thank you for your feedback.:thumbsup:

Can you give me a little bit more information about the replacement exhaust?
Is it just the muffler or do you also have to exchange the exhaust pipes?
What brand is it? Or where can I get it?
Does it change the performance (less or more power)?

BTW: The previous owner of my bike must have had blue straps - as far as I can see it.:)
 
I could easily be wrong but I don't think the major suppliers for a single mid-pipe and can are making them for our bikes anymore. Those were Leo Vince and FMF. Both utilize the stock head pipes.

Some preferred removing the catalytic converters- some because they liked the look of the dual cans and some, I'm assuming, for cost. Here's a link to that thread:

If going for a single can you need the mid-pipe, as that is larger in diameter and allows more flow. The mid-pipe should be easy for an exhaust shop to fabricate, and then you can choose a can (would also be easy to do a band mount to mate up to the existing sub-frame mounting point.) You could also keep an eye out for a used set-up to go up for sale.
 
The heat is because the mufflers have catalytic converters in them. These need to be at a certain temperature to operate correctly, so the mufflers get hot by design. Same deal on my KTM 990 SMT.
I found a 2 into one FMF Powercore 4 for my TE 630 a while ago, and even then it was real hard to find (most places had the 2 muffler system)

You can get Arrow end cans that replace the OEM and eliminate the cats / reduce weight as well. Mine were fitted without the DB killers and were way too loud. I had some simple DB killers made and welded in, which reduces the noise considerably. Look at the ibeat thread - the Arrow cans free up the exhaust and if you get the power up kit, you can tune with the ibeat software.
