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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

it's my dads bike. I'd call him a recreational rider. We recently picked up this bike for him moving up from a Crf 230. I knew it'd be a big jump, but thought the geometry/suspension would help a ton.

Problem is, he's not an on the bars 2nd-3rd gear thru the woods rider. Seems to be the only way to tame this bike.
I am quite unfamiliar with 4 strokes. I presume there nothing we can do as far as throttle adjustment to have a more suttle roll on.

Guess g2 would make a throttle cam, or we could add a flywheel weight. The bike is too tall for him as is and lowering an older ktm isn't easy.

So I'm looking for another bike for him, would love to find a used husky wr but theyre non existent here. Wondering if we can make his bike bearable for now.

Posting this here cause I know everyone is really helpful. And navigating other sites seems confusing lol.
 
Shave some seat foam and I agree with a heavier flywheel, and the throttle cam can make a large difference. Putting a spark arrestor choked up muffler can help slow things down some as well. Those bikes are powerful but its not a 450 brute a few changes can really mellow it out. You can probably retard the ignition timing some as well by adjusting the stator.
