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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I Don't Need No Stinkin' Autoclutch!

Well, I was gonna try an auto clutch on my 2010 310. Got one of the Revloc Dyna rings and it just didn't work out so I sent it back.

Took the 310 to a Dual Sport this weekend (Michaux) and I tell ya, I really don't see a need for it now on that bike. My bike is set up with all "crap" removed and the Husky Race ECU. The bike just pulls so well down low. I was running 2/3rd gear mostly in the trail and in the rocky sections, where if I was on my 525, I would have been clutchin' some, I was able to just lug down to idle and use little throttle blips here and there and just snake right across the rocks and roots. I estimate I needed to clutch about half as much than if I was on the big bore. The 525 is jetted perfectly but the big motor just doesn't go to near stall speed like the 310 will and pull back up without a little clutch.

Only complaint the 310 doesn't like it out on the road much above 50mph as she gets buzzy! But that's okay, you rarely are on the road much anyway. My 525 is my main Dual Sport, but it's nice knowing the 310 works so well as a back up Dual Sporter!
 
I agree the 310 is a great dirt bike,I have a 09, but it's not a road bike at all. I've been looking at the 450&510 SMR for dualsporting and just use the 310 in the woods where it works the best.
