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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just bought a brand new 2009 SM510R from a local dealer that had it tucked away for a few years. Dealer took care of the fuel pump while I was there and even put in a 300psi fuel line and clamps. Brought it home and its now got a pcV, charcoal canister delete, o2 delete and 1/4 throttle stop removed. Runs like a beast! Used to have Yamaha's, so this is quite a new experience for me. Any words of advice (i've been reading quite a bit on these things as it is).

WOW I would have bought that bike instantly. I am truly jealous, one of the last real supermoto bikes from the factory.
 
it depends on what kind of information you need guidance. When you read this forum, so get a lot of information. Why not have the right stock upper gas tank plastic panels?
 
Thanks guys and I am really just looking into what kind of maintenance i am in for. I need to get to a husky dealer to see if they can get me the manual and service intervals. I'm having a hard time finding the Arrow exhaust for this bike too.
 
i would suggest you get the zip ty magnetic oil cover to filter out the metallic bits and pieces that occur w wear and tear. change the oil a bunch. use dino oil on the break in. george at uptime has lots of experience with these engines along w zip ty.
 
Thanks, I'll take a look at that right now! I ordered a bunch of oil filters from the not so local dealer and got prices on a bunch of other stuff including service manual.
