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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Living with a 2010 Husky TE 510!

Im getting in the Husky world just now, thinking about get a 510.
Im worry if I can control this machine. I went from a weak CRF230F (child bike in US) and my problem was the bike weakness (19 hp). Im 1,85 cm tall and 105 kg. So the bike cant carry me up the hills, I have to use all the power in second gear and lost control most time.
Maybe a 510 will be a big jump. Is the bike too difficult to control?
Can this bike runs as a DRZ400E? I mean, a lot of torque in low rev's? Like a tractor
Im sorry about the little english!

bloody legend you are,
thanks, i have my 2% column all filled, will give your example a run,
highest we can get in Australia is 8000 ft and thats off limits, most done at 2-3000 ft so no snow here.
I cured my hot start problem
pump relay was culprit, had rubbed a tiny hole in it where the wire loom passes, enough to let a bit of crap in, making the insides a little dirty , without a sealed enviroment, heat effects relays like heat on icecream, its acceptable to a point then its a mess, put it back in the fridge and its all good again
new relay ($45 australian ) and all is good.
My 2008 510 is been a different beast to live with from the old DRZ400 , but much better machine to ride, its never starnded me in the bush , but, you have to keep your eye on it.
PS, A trim adjust at 11000 rpm ?

For my 510 - hot bike about 2 minutes after shutdown - hold level and oil level middle of site glass.
In below freezing weather my 510 REALLY vibrates till the oil heats up. (5-7 min gentle under 3500 rpm riding) I should try keeping the oil level towards the min rather than the middle in these conditions.
Too rich fuel mixture = more vibration. In cold weather (under +7C) at speeds over 30km/h I install cardboard air blocks in both rads up to the height of the coolong fan. Below +3C and my air blocks are over the fan. I don't know what model you have, but with EFI bikes the ECU temperature compensation curve is aggressive and comes into play any time the water temp is below approx 80C. I just measured the set on my bike now and they leave 70mm of exposed rad surface at the top. I can sit through a full traffic light and the fan not come on.
My observation / my opinion.
