This is day 1, on the way home - it is 160 miles/262 km from the dealer to my home. Great first ride, I knew this is going to be great right away.

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

about 5 weeks laterHello everyone- Not new to bikes but new to Husky. Just picked up a super clean 2011 TE511, 1-owner bike with 5k miles on it. All records, keys and dealership paperwork, books, OE workshop manual, etc and great price. Along with many quality upgrades from Zipty Racing, Michelin tires, upgraded radiator and guards, Trailtech Vapor, Aluminum H gas cap, Seat Concepts seat, Wolf bag set including over-seat saddle bags, Ram Mount removable mirrors, etc. Dash shows Race Map II, not sure if it has Map 3 on it from Zipty but it runs strong. Going to remove the second TPS butterfly if it's still in there. Would love to swap the stock can for something less "loggy", but does not seem to be many avail slip-on options for this bike. Any suggestions are welcome.
Just wanted to introduce myself and say thank you to contributors here, your posted information has been massively useful in learning about this bike, upgrades etc.

Also planning on installing a 48T rear sprocket since this bike will see as much street as dirt. Did this on my WR450 (plated and street legal!) which desperately needed some "taming", freaking wheelie machine...
- Granted, the TE511 is tamer by comparison so we will see how that swap goes. Initial riding impression seems like it will do ok with the 48T swap from the stock 51T
