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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Official SMR 511 Mod thread

OEM shroud and an overpriced touratech plastic infill. Thinking if I get graphics make up to get a headlight sticker like WSBK run :D
 
Hi.
Would it be possible it is who has the Arrow muffler Husky SMR 511
It's on the street for slip-on, so what does it say, if it is EY-approved/homologated???
 
Need a short clutch lever on the SMR511. Who knows what kind of company you can buy? In ASV, CRG, Titax generally not in the catalog Husqvarna and KTM 530
I would be grateful for the information.

Apparently the 511 brake lever is the same as an Aprilia RSV 99-03 if that is of any help.

Just added jd box and fmf power core OMG THIS THING IS A MONSTER!! Even with a 40 tooth rear sprocket can keep the front end down! in the rain even...Ive been on the board reading the 511`s are pigs ahhhhhhhhh no. Man this thing fast !

I can now confirm this is true. The FMF completely transformed this bike. I added the JD box last year while running the OEM exhaust and didn't really see much of an improvement but the FMF pipe has turned my 511 into a BEAST. I also went up two teeth on the rear sprocket which can be done without having to lengthen the chain.

The result is the bike won't keep the front wheel on the ground in first and it easily pulls third gear power wheelies. I brought one up starting from 65 kms/hr the other day. :D It no reminds me of my Aprilia 550 but without the axe-murder factor. The downside to this is I now have to figure out how to launch the thing as it just wants to wheelie in first.

To make tuning the JD box easier and more accurate I installed an Innovative Motorsports MTX-L wideband O2 sensor air-fuel mixture system. For the $200 cost this has been a very worthwhile addition as it allows you to see exactly what the motor is doing at all times. Interestingly I have ended up with much lower settings on the JD box than had been suggested by other users on this board.
 
A few ugly welds later..... something is missing.....

(25-30mm of the swingarm)

and due to my early morning exuberance, I need a new chain and no shops are open 'til later this arvo....

Hopefully I can get the chain on, do an oil and coolant change and get the bike to a mates for a lovely 5h drive for racing this weekend...
 
Got a frame straightener guy in town to do it, he's near on retirement so while it's structuraly sound (I hope!) it aint the prettiest. He used his swingarm straightening jig. The left axle block is a bit tight, and it takes some effort to get the wheel back in again. Wheelbase should be that of an SMR450RR now.

If shit hits the fan I still have an unmolested TC swingarm I can swap back in :D

Thought you guys where closer! We have a 7h drive.
Going to be great to catch up over the weekend and compare bikes. Think exhaust (different brand) and wheels but that about it! Well, you have a 511 and I have a 449...
See you Saturday

Midwest Mountain engineering has an easy pull clutch lever thats a shorty. It makes the clutch pull much lighter and it adjustable. Listed just for KTM's but fits Huskys.

Think I might grab one of those MME levers, after a lovely highside on the weekend the ol' SMR is up for a new clutch lever and if I'm lazy, new set of handguards.

In other news, bike crashes well, me... not so much.
 
Hope its the normal one! turns out I ordered one last week (amongst other bike related gear).
