  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I installed hand protectors. Cut the brake lever tip off to make them fit. Not the cleanest solution, but seems to be alright. Got to get a proper shorty lever though, as I plan to race the bike, and pointy levers aren't allowed.

Interesting thing about the kit... Got the protectors from a local no-brand car & bike parts store. I heard from a reputable source that they're exactly the same as the ones Aprilia offer, but for like one fifth of the cost. Aluminium brace and everything.
 
Joe Mo, You should come out to Warwick in the weekend. We're having Southern Downs (incl Supermoto's) and i'll be having my 449 there. Would be super interested in your air box mode!!!
 
I want to put street tires on my 2012 TE 511, just would be good to know the street crossover size for 21/18" combo.... Thank you in advance..... Or if someone has factory 17" wheels for sale even better !

Hey guys, got a few mods to my TE...

Converted to SM, alpinas, beringer, etc. running the JD tuner and race II map.

Some future plans are: Akro evolution ti exhaust, 2012 rear fender, revalve suspension for supermoto, and some xtrig triples.

Wondering about removing the secondary butterfly in the throttle body. Heard a few people who have done it, but no details. May end up putting a TC throttle body on. Love the bike as it is, but always looking to improve.

Few pics:

I have the same pipe on my te511 tard. missus says she can hear me to bloody km's away. which i love, ive always dyno tuned it with PCV 52.8rwhp and 34.1ftlb. I should go get it retuned, as ive opened the airbox up since.

akra evolution system race map 2 with reflash

restrictions removed from inlet

modifed airbox lowered gear lever and brake lever

hangaurds and sliders de mirriored and number plate holder binned

when i first got it wished i had bought a husaberg 570 sounded like a scooter and didnt go much better
after the long wait on parts it transformed it to an animal completely diff bike would recomend these mods as a must do!! pipe is pricey but well worth it not just for the performace gain but fit and finish is trick not to metion offending peoples eardrums cant beleive they sell them so detuned and locked up keen to hear from any one else in aus...

Kumz, If you dont mind me asking, what the rims and brake setup set you back?

Wheels were $2400, front caliper/rotor $700. Scored the bro14 master cyl used for $100...brakes are worth every penny! Alpinas...ah, they are light and get everyone's attention. Just as good as any ol set of excels

Have a look here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/257029423989/
At Lakeside Raceway we use the small track in the back! You need sliders (axle, pegs) no side stand, no louder then 90db (I run my Arrow with db inset and it passes - you loose a bit but you have a track you can go nut on!) Leathers and so on - i'm sure its written somewhere ! It's good fun and cheap - $50/$70 for a day!
 
Drilled a row of 8mm holes in the top of the air-box. Did it up there to prevent hot air from the radiator to be sucked in. Haven't tested it yet! If it doesn't work then I'll just put some gaffatape over it!

If it's not enough i'm looking at drilling some holes where I've marked it with a red circle but not sure if it will suck to much hot air in there as well?!?!

I hear the TC throttle body makes a difference. Not sure if there is a 12 hole injector also. TC also has different cams...
 
Stock TC449's seem to put out about 3-4 more HP than a stock TE 449's, they don't make a TC 511 so can't compare, they have single butterfly throttle bodies, different velocity stacks, airboxes and cams. Not sure about gaskets or anything else.

Price wise, you're looking at $450 for the cams, $25 for the airbox base, $280 for the TC throttle body (not sure if you need a new harness or any ancillaries), velocity stack to match the TB is ~$15.

If you wanted to get anal you could sift through the parts fiche of the SMR and TC to find the differences!
