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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Breaking in new top end... Dino or Syn 10-60?

Bike is an 06 smr510, will likely choose a Wossner brand forged piston. I'm getting headwork done as well but wondering when I put it back together what type of oil should I use for the initial break in.. I know the typical method uses conventional, but I remember reading some where that these huskies should be broken in with synthetic 10-60 and always ran on that... Inputs? Appreciate it
 
If I was breaking in this particular build, I'd do it Motoman style, use 10w40 dino, and get it done in 50 miles, drain it, and then run 15w50 synthetic, unless you are in a cold climate, then consider 0w40 synth.
