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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

my wheels are balanced as well, with the rim lock installed the rear used almost 90 grams of sticky weights, that is alot of vibes cured right there.
The front used a faily big length of sticky weight as well.
Also I installed EBC red pad F &R but after riding/ testing on Sat I dont like them in the front, the brake feels spongy with the EBC Reds up front. The rear is fine and never fades. I will clean and reintall the OEM Brembo sinteres metal pads up front.
 
Update to the TE310, been using MotoRex 10w60 stuff is really good, clutch feel much better. Also added CV4 silver insulation tape to the underside of the fuel tank. I thought about it a couple of times I stopped when she was very hot and it took a few minutes to re-start may have been a heated fuel issue and I had the stuff sitting in the garage anyway.

And again I need to say that the Spectro Zinc chain lube is great.

Also I removed the barb fitting oil drain plug and installed the standard mag plug. I put a sealing (vacuum) cap over the lower fitting of the catch tank (frame backbone) left the crankcase breather tube in place where it has always been (middle fitting) as well as the upper forward tube with the K&N crankcase vent filter on it. In this config some liquid oil can and will pool up at the bottom of the catch tank, but if it gets to high it will drain back into the crankcase vent. That barb fitting with hose clamp return line has always been a little leaky down below anyway. So now the crankcase can vent with good volume as designed but without the built in liquid oil to oil pan return line. This setup has less fail points. FYI, ZipTy told me that the 310 has more crankcase pressure and that it does vent more oil from the breather than the 250 model.

PS the 310 looks much better in the photos
 
ZipTy suspended front and rear, Rear was good but then it blew at a race. Sent it to ZipTy it came back much better. Later I sent ZipTy my forks after the left started leaking (it had a good rock scrape up near the seal). Just put 2 rides on the forks, and they came back "more racey" sitting a little higher in the travel and both ends work together well now and as expected from a Ty Davis tuned suspension the faster and harder you ride it the better it all works, good service competitive price, great results. see copy of letter to the ZipTy crew.

Steve and the ZipTy crew,

As you all know you did my shock after my day 2 blowout at the gorman
qualifier, it was much improved and as expected from a Ty Davis tuned
shock it works in all regimes from hard enduro rocks to more open fast
stuff.
And now the forks are ZipTy tuned installed and tested, I have 2
solid days of 2 different terrain tests, day one was on tight rocky
S/T and followed by a trials type hard enduro trail loop with boulders
and football sized loose rocks, forks kept me right on line with no
out of control deflections. Day 2 was more open high dez S/T with some
tough sections thrown in, as I expected from ZipTy tuned forks the
harder I rode and hit corners the better the package works.
For me the shock was the big change item, the forks seemed to be less
of a big change while before ZipTy, they were in as I got it, LR Race
Tech mode were plush but seemed to ride a little deeper in the travel,
with the same clicker settings the front feel like it rides higher in
the travel and feels less loaded and heavy up front. I run the forks
up to the first ring. Handling of this X-Lite chassis is light and
fun, my front pirelli scorpion pro fim is little rounded and I was
riding into and out of corners with the bars crossed up under full
control (not the fastest way around but fun. Thanks ZipTy racing, my
old tank ass should be ready for my big step into the Tecate HS 50A
class from my lifelong B rider level.( I'll be a B until then)
 
This is one cool bike ... I'm leaning way towards 2t machines now but this 4 banger makes me consider another 6 SPD machine ...

What is the hr count on this bike now? You'll probably want a new bike next year to replace this one?

bought cheaper brand soft tie tie downs, did a quick strap down on the trailer (usually I wrap and tie the ends) for quick up the street move and my friggan bike came off the trailer, the ties slip through the clamp......fffed up the rear fender and broke the led rear lite......stupid stupid move...
Click to expand...

This reminds of of when I purchased my first Husky from Bill at BMP ... He sold me some tie-downs also that had his brand on them and said "I think these are so good strong ties ...they should last a long time" ... His brand has worn off but still using them after 10 yrs and no problems with them yet and they still work perfectly ...
