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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2011 sms 630 and Castrol Power 1 synthetic 10w50

Yes it is definitely a motorcycle oil ...........power 1 must be some euro oil , nobody has heard of it around here Bike shop recommends this one.>>>>> dk306513.jpg
 
We use Motul 7100 synth 20w50 in our Huskies in the uk. (that was reccomended by the Race team!Any similar weight synthetic for motorcycles should be fine

+1 Also recommended by my mechanic since the Husky tends to run on the hot side.
 
I believe you will want to break it in use non-synthetic oil for the first 800-1000 miles or so.

Exactly...

Lots of bikes are shipped with full synthetic, and many have been since the mid 90's (Triumph w/ Mobil 1 for example).

The old school belief that seating the rings with dino oil holds less water these days.
The important thing is to put heat cycles into the motor as it breaks in, run it thru a normal rev range (don't baby it, don't beat on it), and use deceleration to get the rings working both ways, etc.
