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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Of with the "old" and on with the new fork!

Want some more millimeters of suspension to play with + some more screws to turn the settings, so today I changed my fork, took nearly two hours and most of what was "expensive" fit perfectly. As the front wheel and axle, steering bearings and shaft, each crowns, handlebar mount, front fender ...

Should fix some small new anchor points for the light, the novel inner leg protection, adapter for the caliper or other calipers, and an aluminum piece to attach the ignition lock in the insertion and adjustments to the steering stop.

Is that dotted line you Photoshopped in your fuel level? Looks like nearly half a tank remaining which after 220 miles seems near impossible. What mpg are you getting? Running open or closed loop?

no...it's just a random place I decided to put a dashed line... of course it's the fuel level. :rolleyes:

I don't think there's half capacity left, but it will have to wait until I do top it off to see how much it takes to top it off (couple inches below the cap). There could be a gallon to a gallon and a half in each lobe I suppose, it will be interesting to see.

The O2 sensor replaced with the plug that comes with the Leo Vince, airbox baffle maze removed - other than that, bone stock.
Be aware too that riding at elevation is good for mileage, it's always a few mpg better up here. Until I top off the tank and do the math I won't know what the mpg is.
There were some rough, fast sections in the dirt, but the overall average pace with a group of six stopping to take pictures and such was not tough on fuel.

That 220 miles included maybe a total of around 120-ish miles of pavement, 37 of it in the early cool morning getting out of Echo Park to US40 (part 4wd offroad, part paved), 85 miles more from the park entrance to Craig, CO on US40.
On the hwy I ran a relaxed pace on a beautiful cool morning....maybe 65mph. Gearing is one down in front, up a tooth in back. Not super low, but you don't have to be going 75 to be in 6th either.

Picture I took from the other side - since there was no way to get the bike perfectly vertical, I put the sidestand down on the driveway apron.

Those lobes are pretty thin too.

Went for a nice 200 mile ride on the Olympic Peninsula today with a friend on his KTM 990 Adventure. 1st time the 630 has seen the dirt and it didn't disappoint.

We made it through this patch of snow but were forced to turn around at around 3000 ft elevation due to snow covering the road. Late spring snow in the Pacific NW has many of the roads at higher elevation still buried.

Painted the heat shield on my new Powercore 4...looks pretty good

That does look better. I also painted mine, and also cut it shorter. To anyone thinking of making it shorter I'd advise you to be careful... I went too short at the front which means I'm getting too much heat on my leg, and it gets some kind of Hot.

I also carved out time to replace my front turn signals...rear will be tomorrow night

Haha nice...

I see you're in Chicago, careful about the stubby signals, I know in California they'll hassle you about not being the "proper" distance apart. It was something like 12" apart in front and 9" in the rear...

I'm in SC, and they don't really care, haha.

In Nebraska, motorcycles aren't required to have turn signals, or mirrors. :)
 
Small field trip today, Trondheim via Melhus to Kvål and up to Vassfjellet. Nice round trip of approx 55km.

Stopped by the lokal Husqvarna (and other brands) dealer for a testride of the new Husqvarna 900 Nuda. Not at all a bad experience.

Two good friends enjoying the view.

Love to hear more...:popcorn:

Brand new. nil km on the clock when I rode it. Feels tall, heavy and wery short wheelbased, dissapointed with the mechanical clutch system (wire) and sparse looking handlebar/risers. Fantastic looking bike, absolutely love the design and the "stealth look" of the whole layout, but - the handlebar/grip/brake and clutch appearance is dissapointing.

Didn`t push it, and the sound is surprisingly barky. It growls with a undertone of challenging possibilities af wheelies and smoking some tires...

Have to get one!
