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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

09 arrow cat convertor removal??

hi all im still a bit green with all this but was wondering about the exhaust. i have a 09 te 510 with power up kit but was curious if the mufler had arrow stamped on it or something. also when removing the cat con is that the power up of the mufler or is it a whole diff mufler and do ya leave the end piece of pipe out or put it back in after removing the cat??
 
09 comes with PU- its the stock pipe- just remove Cat (08's you had to buy a whole separate slip on)

You have to take the can(muffler) off the midpipe- 2 springs a couple bolts holding to the frame- so you have room to work with-
then you will see the cat in the end of the pipe of the can- it will slide out. reattach.. done
 
When purchasing a used '09 bike, is there any way to tell if the Cat has already been removed without taking the pipe apart?

Well if the pipe gets extraordinarily hot right about where the stock heat shield stops by the side panel- chances are its still there. Its easy enough to check though by taking apart- I promise it won't take more than 15 minutes:thumbsup::D
 
my pipe has a circlip at the end take that off then the pipe comes out then the cat is behind that. do i put the pipe back in without the cat or leave the whole lot out??

I'm not sure exactly what you mean.

The circlip holds in the spark arrestor not the cat. On most 2009 bikes the cat is a honey combed insert inside the pipe, that insert is what is supposed to be removed.

The cat is at the inlet end of the muffler at the mid pipe.
