  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Sorry... just realized that I kept saying radial caliper bracket, I meant axial mount.

Basically, I have a TE449, with SM511 wheels, so I need a 320 rotor that will work with the SM Wheel, but that will also work with the axial mount caliper. Or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
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****************************************!just wanted to say thanks to Dan down at MOTOXOTICA my local dealer didnt help me so called Dan had parts shipped to my door!
 
Why do you add on your 449/511 the 2012 TC airbox?
I have a 2011 SMR449 with complete Arrow exhaust. Is it better to replace the original airbox with the 2012 TC one?

Mate the bottom part of the 2012 airbox is much more open = more air but you will need a min. of JD tune
If you do a search you will find the info you need.
 
Smr 511 is fastest motard ever!

Not even close. I got smoked by an older KTM525 this summer. And having owned an Aprilia 550 I can assure you THAT is the fastest motard ever. The thing is an outright BEAST and will leave anything in its dust. Of course I had to get rid of it because it kept trying to kill me.

Now you have me worried. I have an FMF on order and just went to a bigger rear sprocket for better low end grunt. By the sounds of it I am in the process of creating a wheelie monster.
 
I think so 1-4TH ON IT HARD ON THE BACK WHEEL AND WITH A 40 TOOTH. THINKING OF GETTING A 38 TOOTH. DO ALOT OF FREEWAY, IT CRUZS NICE AT 70 NOW.HAS SO MUSH PUNCH THE 40 TOOTH WORKED NICE!
 
Noob question. But I work away from home alot so haven`t had much time on the SMR of late. Can anyone tell me if the SMR511 has a neutral light, just i seem to recall the turn indicator being the neutral light when the bike was new and difficult to select neutral. But now there is no neutral light from what i recall, and no mention in the owners manual.
 
i dont think they have one. Mine never came on from day one,yes hard to get neutral when first started I get mine in N before I start it.
 
Had my wheels off for a tyre change and 2 things happened, I noticed something has come loose internally on my revalved forks making it so that one is 20mm longer than the other (will get fixed Tuesday) and my wheels mysteriously became toobless.

Hey guys what crash protection are you running? I am looking to order some up for a new smr511 I am buying, but searched and can't find axle or frame sliders for these bikes, but I see them in some of the pictures in this thread. Gonna have to make sure it has the race map, then exhaust, and posibly JD Tuner?

Trust me mate, if you want real good sliders---> http://www.axlearmor.com.au/

I was lucky to win a set....had some others already and thought they would just be my backup.....but after unpacking them they went on straight away....and unfortunately tested two weekends ago and they worked! Many has a small inset and a long rod through the axle, these are fully machined so no inserts. From the states you can buy them from http://www.moto-extremes.com/ - The man him self is a motard mad man and has been extremely helpful in providing really good priced motard part for us here in Australia.

Just a note, I have no association with these company's but just really like there product, customer service and there passion for best bang for bucks!

well I made the jump and bought a TC449 for all the reasons I stated earlier, I'll let you guys know how it does. Converted it over the past 24 hrs and here is the finished product. Track day tomorrow, time to see how it does compared to my 511.View attachment 18177

R.Stephen is that oil breather hose mod I see on the side of the engine. If so did you make yourself or buy it. I am in need of one bad.
 
R. Stephen said:
yes it is a breather, I've been running it for over a year now, contact TOXIC MOTO if you want one.

Will do I'm sick of having to clean my filter and air box every second week. Does it comes with all the necessary parts or is it just the breather box and you have purchase the other parts elsewhere such as piping and new oil cap to feed the oil back into the sump?
