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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Can't Stand The Wait

What he said. If the intake were just about airflow you could pull the whole airbox off and stick a cone filter right on the throttlebody. I'm actually surprised no one has tried it, I would think it would be stupid loud on this motor.

just take a look over on supermoto junkie and read about the SM610 owners that have stuck K@N cone filters on their bike after removing the entire air box.

I guess I should have quoted, I'm agreeing with Contra. The stuff above sounds fine, but unless you are running something on a dyno you won't have any idea what you're doing.

K&N will do just that. Not a lot of people do it cause its a pain in the ass, you need to clean the filter ever couple of days and they are not that sound when it comes to stopping debris from getting sucked into your engine,as well as the water issues that arise. I assure you noise is not the issue race teams(and beauties) do this sort of thing all the time.

There is not (and cannot be) any performance difference with the Leo header. It's about weight only.

Here is how wrong you are... sprewing inaccurate information

Yeah, it's not just about weight. Primary and secondary length and diameter, as well as bend geometry near the port and conductive properties of the material play a role in performance numbers. Not nearly as significant as say an inline 4 engine, but there is a difference nonetheless.

But the ~17lbs probably makes more of a noticeable difference than the header geometry...
 
hp and torque are much better between 3000 and 3500 rpm which allows easy cruising with the stock TE gearing at 60 to 65 mph where the bike with the stock system feels gutless.

I'll try to get better photos when I get time..
 
Everything is great, Fast1 is correct! Header design does make a difference and I have tried many. By going with the single you are eliminating a lot of tubing and weight. It's not a huge gain in power over a nice set of duals but it is something, and after all we are only dealing with one cylinder.
