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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Kouba Link for 610

I emailed Kouba Link about a lowering link for my SM610. Their response was that they don't make a link for the SM610 or the TE610. I tought that was odd, because two different dealers told me that they have put lowering links on 610's, but that it requires grinding the swingarm. Does anyone here have a Kouba Link on their 610? Can it be done? Details? Pics?
 
I have a 2006 SM610, that I installed the Kouba link. I did have to grind the swingarm to clear the shock spring retainer. (they did mention that on some models the swingarm grinding was not necessary) It does work, although having a spacer installed into the rear shock and having the shock re-valved, would have been my other choice.

I saw your other thread asking for lighter springs as well. If you are going to go to the trouble of lighter springs and lowering link - wouldn't make sense to at least call and ask what a re-valve/springs/lowering of the suspension would cost? Lowering link and springs might not be much cheaper than re-doing the whole suspension. You would get new fork seals too...

Maybe call this guy? There are others as well...

Thanks for the link. I may check into a revalve. I've pretty much decided against the Koubalink at this point. I don't want to grind the swingarm, and so far the height isn't really bothering me. I may get to test out a lighter spring (without buying it), so I will do that first and go from there.
