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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Exactly what can a GS-911 do for a TR650?

Sorry for being pedantic about it and pleased to see you coming to grips with the GS911, my email and PMs elsewhere on the subject by people asking questions are considerable.

With that early firmware version, yes it will tend to fall back to bad habits, with the last release version it can remain very stable, that is why people should update to the last release version while waiting for any other version to be released. Continuing to use the bike while there are poor adaption/trims runs a risk of engine damage

The other reason to update to the last release version is it would be expected that there will be a small number of machines which do not respond as well to the update, as per the G650GS machines and the recall on them, updating to the last release version will assist in identifying the machines which are problematic and that provides further information to present to the safety authorities like NHTSA, DOTARS etc
I had not thought about engine damage. I've heard a few serious knocks, at random times, coming from the bike. Since I'm in the Northeast US right now, I won't be riding much until I go to the Southwest in February, and take another member's lead on the shop in AZ. And please don't apologize for pedantry. Being accurate is more important than my ego!
