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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey BMWeazal,

Here you go;

ORDER ITEMS:

Shorty ( 1" Shorter than your stock lever)

There's a thread on it somewhere, but they just went straight on, no probs.

What he said.


I tried one of the ASV levers when I broke my clutch, couldn't make it work.

HDB stuff looks slick. :thumbsup:

How much of an ordeal was it to tap in the insert for the handguards? How sturdy is the design where they mount up to the barclamp? I fall... a lot.

Hey SepticSkeptic,

Paul at Highway Dirt Bikes tapped the bar (which I purchased from him at a very reasonable price) for me as part of his awesome customer service. Arrived at my door ready to start bolting on.

Try the part numbers as in the above post mate;

CLM03Q 1 ASV Pro Model Clutch Lever, w/ Quic Red
Shorty ( 1" Shorter than your stock lever)
BLH03 1 ASV Front Brake Lever (KTM/Brembo 1 Red
Yes - Part #FBDC01 (Dust cover)


These levers feel so much better than the stock levers, and look great too.

The HDB handguards are made really well, and are strong as all heck.

I seriously reckon I could hang the bike up from a hoist by the handguards........ might even do it for a giggle. :thumbsup:

Hey Skeptic
Regarding the HDB setup;
Taping the handlebar cannot be consider an ordeal
The tap itself is supplied in the kit
And the tapping process is only a matter of snipping the ends of the grips and then using a wrench and some WD40
you just twist it in, going in and out in small increments, cleaning the metal shaving as you go
Very easy, takes 5 or ten minutes

How do you guys find these bikes on a track? I am sure you'll get blown away on the straights by sportbikes and larger motards (KTMs?)... but as a track toy and not worrying about top speed, how do they perform?

Here is mine and my wifes WR250R
Aww, brings back good memories (the WR, not your wife - I'm sure she's delightful but I don't believe we've ever met). :D

I had a WR before the Husky. :applause: Pretty good off road for a DS bike I thought. Better on road than the Husky, but no match for it on the dirt of course.

Sigh, nostalgia ain't what it used to be. :rolleyes:

I bought the first year WR250f when they came out in `01. Got it plated right away with no issues whatsoever (ahh...talk about nostalgia...:rolleyes:) and rode the wheels off it for a few years. It was a decent dualsport, but I was afraid I was going to cook the motor on the street so I got a 450 EXC. I ended up selling the WR in order to make room for my 610 :)

That's another thing I liked about the WR250R - not quite as good as the F on the dirt and a bit heavy, but the engine's effectively one quarter of an R1 motor so it will run happily all day at high speed on tarmac and the maintenance intervals are huuuuuge - just put gas in and go ride it! Oh happy days... :ride:
 
I found this tonight in my garage... anyone know what it is?

I really don't feel that much of a difference. Some more power in the midrange, but the top end still feels a bit weak.
 
I've had my SM610 for 4 weeks now and finally got around to taking some pics. Mods so far include Turbo City "Borrego" rack, Uptite billet oil cap, bar pad, and removed smog can.

Looks like an oxygen sensor (fits in the exhaust) and some resistors (the pic's a bit small to be sure).
