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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Headed to the dealer with an underpowered Terra, any tips?

The head shake problem improved but didn't completely go away when I changed tires from D606's to K60RR/TK80FRT. The only other think that might affect it is the barkbusters I have installed. I haven't worried about it much because I don't have afreeway anywhere near where I live or travel.

I had the head shake issue on mine and finally figured out it would go away if I loaded the rear or just sat on the back seat. Try that for the shake. My final answer was a stabilizer, and glad I did.
As far as power agree it is pretty good in the 5-7.5k range. I've had it up past 100mph several times, it will do it although I find the motor likes about 80.

...lets get one thing straight. "head shake" is very different to a "gentle weave", which is what mine will do sometimes, no big deal really and a cross wind seems to have an effect. If I ever got "head shake", I probably wouldn't be here to type this.....

so, do you have a weave or a shake?

I would call it head shake. It calms down if I decelerate but it might be strong enough to induce a tank slapper if it happened at the wrong time.

Definitely not the Barkbusters. I'm running them and have no headshake. I think you need to be looking at your suspension setup. Having the preload set incorrectly on the rear can greatly affect the front end.

You might be right about the rear pre-load. I am a big guy 255lbs. and I am usually packed for a long trip, add another 50lbs. I have the preload on the second to the stoutest setting and the screw about 1/3 rotation out from closed.
