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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

511 Twitchy at High Speed

Ok just thought its odd as my handguards and lack of wobble i cant relate too, outta whack balance and head bearings fork rake damper adjustments all seem more likly.
Your bikes probably in a far higher state of tune than mine or im so oblivious to the handling i dont notice.
 
When your moving the forks up or down what are you torque the 6 triple tree bolts to? Can't find a spec on that. Thanks
 
25nm i think
I dont bother with torque settings just dint hang on small fastners or anything under 10mm is usually as tight as a 1/4 no extention will go within reason.
 
I had this same problem with the bike almost doing a tank slapper above 60mph with the stock tires on my te511. I bought some stick on weights and balanced them and it was way better. I then got a set of supermoto wheels/tires and it still gets a little twitchy above 80mph. Going to get a damper.
 
That's odd, my 449 with knobbies at 87 is rock solid on pavement. No damper, no wheel balance, no problem.
 
When you service your front forks make sure that the front fork and shock springs are correct for your weight and it's very important that they have the proper amount of spring preload. Not sure which forks you have but my Zokes had -1mm and needed +3mm... add that to too light of a spring for your weight and it's head shake waiting to happen
