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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Getting Close To Needing New Tires

Have not owned a bike in a long time, back then it was a MX type bike and I replaced the tires myself. Can I do this with the TR650? Do they need to be balanced?

thanks,

Yes, its not to bad to do some tyres are worse than others. Yes balancing is good, just letting it spin on its own axle (when out of the bike) is all I do and its pretty close. The tyres don't last long, maybe 4-6k for rear 7.5K front.
 
Do it. I use Pirelli MT 21 Rallycross matched set. Had to drop to a 130 on the rear because of availability and it works perfectly.
Sure, the rear doesn't last long but then I ride very few asphalt roads and with these tyres I can let the knobbly wear down to 1mm and it still performs.
