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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

449 / 511 recap and info

No big deal,

It says the factory unit can be programmed the first time it is powered on between EN and SM or something of the sort. SO supermoto and Enduro wheelsets. There is a factory dash for sale on ebay for 170 I am thinking of picking it up but it is a gamble wether or not it has been plugged in before....

Another less useful option is the DRD speedometer thingy that manipulates the pulses....

I know what you mean as I am 6'6, but you don't really want the pegs back as it will change the way the suspension feels as you move away from the swing arm center. I suggest you look into lowering the foot pegs, there are manufactures which sell them. Ask Motosportz Kelly about lowering pegs he sells.

Thanks Tinken for the quick reply and good info! I see a post already verifying what you were warning me of on changing the action of the suspension. I'm only 6' tall, and had Zipty rework & lower both my 511 suspensions by 1" last Fall.
Now I am able to get on & off much easier, and still very happy with the remaining suspension travel, action, & over all handling. Having already lowered the bike a bit, I probably couldn't get away with extending my peg mounts further downward. But a peg that offers a bit lower positioning would certainly be a big help. I will check into what Motosportz has to offer.
 
I went to the motosportz site and could find no mention of any foot pegs. How bout it Motosportz Kelly? Do you offer any dropped down foot pegs for a Husky 511?
 
Back on the beast now that the weather is turning for the better. First thing I notice everytime I toss a leg over this machine is WOW that ZipTy suspension is good. Buddy Travis with a KTM 350 drools all over my 511 after the last time he rode it. His stuff is going to ZipTy soon too.

More goodies happening and more 511 fun coming up. Such a fun machine.

Oh man, I'm jealous. That Mega-bomb/ 4.1 combo I'm sure will give it a nice kick in the Pony dept. I'm anxious to hear a report.:thumbsup:
 
About time! Thought that thing was gonna get cob webs soon. How do you like the TC header hook up versus the TE?

Ha ha, did you fall off your chair in disbelief? I really like how the pipe fits and the quality so far. It has been massaged (heat and hammer) so not sure whats up but fit my bike like a glove. I had the springs for the header in my save pile from 2 strokes, cool. As a race pipe it seems very nice. EZ to remove when needed, tucks in well, probably makes great power. The mid pipe is 3mm bigger dia. The muffler is 3.5 inches shorter. The mid pipe is longer. I just took it for a quick rip around the block. Does seem spunkier. Getting a lot of popping on decel that was never there. Will JD it out. Started fine, runs good, idles nice, responds well, no feeling of stalling or any signs of bad running so far. Might get to ride her saturday.

Haha Yea!
Popping on decel is a lean condition, you are breathing a lot more air through your engine now.
