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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Max Break In Rpm For Sm 630

You'll want to avoid high revs, but even at highway speeds that's not really a concern w/ the stock gearing...you'd be flying to approach winding out 6th. I drove mine 4 hours back from the dealer...you want to avoid constant droning speeds, so vary it w/ upshifts and downshifts and stop every 20-30 mins to allow for some heat cycling.
 
Just up and down the gears without revving the bollocks off her! Nice and smooth steady away, it's a modern bike. I'm going through the same process, I wouldn't imagine you could do too much wrong unless you purposefully maintained high revs in one gear. Enjoy, I love mine
 
I found a new SM630 in black n' red, the color I want, at fantastic end of year deal from BMW...but it's 1,000 mi from where I live. I could take a bus there and drive it back, but would be pushing the oil change limit, I think. Can't afford to ship it. I think the 1st oil change is at 500 mi. I guess I could stop around 500 miles and have the oil changed. Am I out of my mind?

Thx for all of your input. It's helpful!
 
If it was me I would:

1) Try and find a closer one
or
2) Save up to have it shipped

I don't think riding it is going to be that much cheaper if any compared to shipping. If you ride it home you're gonna have to pay bus fare, gasoline, hotel, food, and worst of all, risk messing up the bike! It's not worth any potential savings.

If you can't find a closer one, get a shipping quote, and then budget how much it will be to ride it home. I bet it'll be pretty close.
