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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
I don't think the new engines are more picky. The 11:1 compression ratio of the higher output TR650 engine requires the use of 91 octane fuel. If not, they wouldn't post that number. Again, I wouldn't take a chance on 87 octane, with a bike that has an 11:1 CR. Just my opinion. My bike will get 91 or octane booster, if it's not available. Carrying a bottle of octane booster in a pannier is cheap insurance.
Look who motosportz is trying to convert now (the Beemer) loll
What is the valve adjustment/ inspection interval?
How difficult will it be to get to the valves for inspection?
I don't think I like you any more lol. I'm still waiting on my local dealer to get one. I'm really just waiting to see the maintenance schedule because my round trip to work is a 100 miles (20 of that dirt)
Motosportz, you have noted low idle and it coming close to stalling as the only minor bugs in the other wise great EFI.
These were issues I had with my X-Challenge that got worse and very frustrating over time.
I felt with the XC if I could have only bumped the idle a bit, most of the issues would have gone away.
Is the idle adjustable on this bike?
these motors are said to go 30-50K EZ before needing anything.
