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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

630 gearing

I run 43...I do 95% city riding. It super fun on the low end and it prevents me from going too fast.
 
I've kept the stock 15/38 gearing so far, I do too much highway riding and I don't want it screaming at 70 and it'll do about 110 with enough road. I can carry a wheelie pretty good from 2nd-4th (depending on the day :p ) But would be easier with a larger rear.

BTW , anyone getting a twitchy throttle around 4500 rpm ? Tuner or the throttle tube ?

I got a bit of that when I gutted my cans, fixed it by bringing the green/blue down to two and bumping up the yellow a couple notches. Later I threw on an Uptite quick throttle tube, so It's a lot snappier without having to crawl my fingers over the grip to get full throttle, took about 1/4 of the twist travel out.
 
I tried a 45 but wasn't enough for me and still had to slip the clutch more than I wanted. I am now running a 47 and its perfect. I too am a big guy (6'2 / 240lbs.) and needed the extra grunt. The 47 does it for me and she still moves out well on the highway. In the dirt, it pays for itself!

Note: A longer chain is needed for a 47 if you go that route.

Just remember, we're on SMS's, which have a smaller rear tire diameter, and stock gearing is 15/38. A 47 rear on an SMS would be a stunt or kart track machine, and that's about it. Top speed would go from ~110 down to ~80, and that would be screaming.

Whats everyone running ? I want to try a 40 or a 42 rear , any thoughts ?

I'm running 14/40 on my SM630 but, my tires are slightly taller than stock. That would probably equate to about 14/39 with stock tires.

I do plenty of dirt riding. First gear is just low enough to handle the sandy, twisty, desert environment that I throw at it. On long stretches of highway it will purr like a kitten up to about 70 MPH.

Any chance sending me the updated JD settings ?
 
I'm 5'11 about 190lbs and I'm running 44 rear for bumper to bumper traffic...can't say anything bad about since bikes aren't allowed in the highways here anyways...stock gearing had me dragging the clutch pretty much all through traffic

and just in case you're wondering, THIS is Jakarta's rush hour:

I rarely hit 6th gear even with the 44 rear
