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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

In consideration of Terra

Ed.

Hello All. Interesting to see a couple of familiar names in here, some who may know me and some that would not. I have already seen plenty of useful info in these pages to help guide my thoughts on buying a TR650. However there are only a couple of things that are causing doubt (apart from not having sold my previous bike...) The valve checking issue is a hurdle but not a deal breaker, but the reports of a very dodgy airfilter seal seem like it could be an issue that ruins what otherwise looks like an excellent base to build a great dirt road tourer.

Does anyone that has put a lot of dusty miles/kms on a TR650 have any comment on this?
 
Both issues not show stoppers. Forum members have had success with modifying the filter seal. If it was still a problem there would be a lot of dead bikes as dust will kill an engine very quickly...
 
Yeah, I have seen a couple of the posts, but remain a little unconvinced. I guess I need to go an get a dealer to pull one apart for me so I can see for myself.
