• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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, now what's next?

The Speed Triple shouldn't be any higher maintenance than the Street Triple. Valve check intervals aren't all that high, 12,000 miles if I remember correctly. My ZX-10R had 14,000 mile valve check intervals.

What concerns me the most is sourcing parts for a Triumph. You can get Honda parts all day long. A smaller European builder, not so much.
 
Guys, did the 14 tooth cs mod, and as people have said, it's a nice little treat and woke the bike more than I had anticipated. Yes, I had to rev it much further in other areas of the rides than I wanted, but oh well. Fun factor definitely went up and I will not be putting the 15 back on, as far as I can tell. Did 200 miles on a half day around all the Yosemite valleys outside Oakhurst Sat and then a quick 1 hour 50 mile ride in and around the foothills of Clovis, ca.

Again, bike is more fun. As it was brought out, the 630 does offer some fantastic riding abilities other bikes can't do, so I'm seeing if I can just hold out a little longer, then find a way to purchase another machine for cheaper thrills, and keep the 630, haha.

I also spoke with George (uptite), and unless I run race fuel and/or do some serious (extensive, incl bottom end) engine mods, high hp is not do-able in a feasible and economical way on the 630. With that said, I would still like to see what could be done about drilling out some holes on the airbox, as others have done, and re-tuning it. I also don't know if there is any addtl power to be had compared to the tuning of iBeat vs the PCV and or AT piece..... since right now my local shop custom tuned mine with the ibeat tuner.
 
If you want to play with fueling and open your airbox, the JD Tuner is the way to go. I wouldn't expect any miracles from it, but there is some improvement. It's also very easy and convenient to use when compared to a Power Commander.

By far, the "best bang for the buck" mods are the power-up kit and dropping a tooth on the front sprocket. The rest is just icing on the cake.
 
jt is usually right. But think that opening up the airbox and using the JD tuner to compensate the extra air with fuel is also pretty dramatic.
