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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ok, got the bike together today and fired it up and it was running a little rough. The idle was at 1300 so I waited till it warmed up and set it to 1600. Much better. I rode it and I LIKE IT! Only one thing, it seems hard to get it into neutral from first and a little easier from second. I am guessing its newness is all it is and after some break in and an oil change or two and that will be good. One other thing....5500 rpms for about 1000 miles isn't gonna be easy! :lol:

One other observation...

I am thinking that whoever is the kickstand designer must have been fired by now or is one of the owners kin folk. There is something about that kickstand that I do not like. Seems cheap, weak, too short, and potentially hazardous. :excuseme::thumbsdown:

Congrats on your new bike... You're going to love it. We've all had to modify the kickstands, change the headlight and the seat is to hard, but you just bought one of the highest quality machines out there, good luck and don't crash........
 
The kickstand is the best part of the whole bike. It's dangerous like a stiletto in your front pocket with the safety off; keeps things interesting.
 
You are right about the kick-stand and trying to find neutral.:)

I hear that the neutral gets easier. As far the Kick-stand. Every dirt Bike I have had, has had a bad stock kick stand.:excuseme:

But...the bike is a blast. It's just the best Dualsport bike out there.:thumbsup:
