  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 put a 50 tooth sprocket on my 2012 Te 310. Since most of my riding is not single track more like high speed open stuff with a little asphalt here and there I am going to a 47 or a 48. Got 2400 miles on the bike. I was told if I get a new rear sprocket it is also a good idea to get a new chain and maybe a new counter shaft sprocket as well. My dealer said this is not always true since the chains on the Huskys are pretty good quality. I guess it all depends how much wear the chain has. I have a lot of adjustment left. Any advice on this.
 
If you have 2400 miles with the same cs I'd do both sprockets and chain. A PIA to remove the cs but not very expensive to do. That said, my chains have never needed adjusting in 2,000+ miles, so maybe you can get away with it. Depends on if you have had to adjust your chain much as that's a clue the sprockets may have worn to match the chain and normally the cs is going to wear faster.

Get new sprockets and chain while your at it, thats my advice!
If you like having your new sprockets + chain for a long time, please follow these steps, see the picture if you doubt it

1: When you have a new chain it will stretch quite alot, what i do is to tighten the chain at 250km, 500km and 1000km!
Then your chain will stretch in right tempo and will setlle nice on the sprockets.

2: Oil your chain after EACH ride, it takes about 15 sec but your chain will last ALOT longer, trust me.

3: Clean your chain with chainbrush and paraffin often, ( I do it 2-3 times a week ) i know its alot, but look at this picture, look at chain and sprocket. those have run 15000++km and look and performe like brand new..
