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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Although the owners manual lists Castrol Power1 Racing SAE10W-50 as the recommenced oil, this does not mean it was its factory fill. I agree with your point about not using a fully synthetic oil to bed in. I left my original oil in the engine until the 1,000km service as specified and then changed over to Mobil 1 4T.
That doesn't make any sense...at least where water spins a certain way on our continent. Olive oil is $0.22 an ounce where Mobil One Synthetic is $0.16 an ounce. If they wanted to save money they'd put in a decent quality dino at $0.10 an ounce....less than half the cost of olive.
I had my Strada re MOSSed after break in and first service. It felt stronger and smoother, even the shifting action felt better with the fresh oil. This thing has a top end rush, I had a chance to rev it out through the gears last week. It has satisfactory grunt down low, but my last bike was a Suzuki DRZ 400 SM, so that is my point of reference.
WRT to breaking the engine in , I take it the original oil is fully synthetic. I am now after 3 days of owner ship ( ..
I generally believed that fully synthetic would reduce the bedding in of piston,rings /cylinder . BMW strongly suggested that dino oil be used until at least 10,000 km for the 1200 boxer. I didnt used synthetic until 30,000 km for the R1200R (yep took that long for oil use to resolve to nil.)
I s the Rotax engine different .
I am just about to get some castrol Racing 1 Synthetic. Thoughts would be really appreciated...I am on the bottom of the learning curve..and loving it.
BTW soon to decide om which ... bash plate/bars/rad guard/centrestand/ maybe Safari tank/ Luggage rack, soft bags/ soft bag pannier frame / power accessory plug/ ?bark busters/ ... figure about $2100 to $2300 Analyzing thru every bit of anecdotal info I can get. Thanks for all those who post their experiences.
