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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So you would like a Cush Hub................

I just stopped by Woodys Wheel Works and talked to Zach. He was able to confirm that the KTM cush hub, stock 640 or RAD billet, will work for the Husky 610. Going with a 640 stock hub saves about $150 over the billet. Since I don't know which husky rear wheels work with each other I'll let someone else tell us if this information will cross over to other models.

Back story: I had a KTM525 and the hub started to fail......... common thing with the KTM's especially if they're dual sported or street ridden. The solution was the RAD billet hub with superlacing..... yup quite pricey. But it was the week before a trip to Moab so it had to happen. A couple of years later I wasn't about to let the wheel go with the bike when I sold it.... so I wondered if it would work for the Husky.

I checked with Zach and he was able to confirm that it would work with the Husky but would need two things. New bearings so that the I.D. would fit the Husky axle, and new spacers. I've been running it like that for 3 years and it's been solid.
 
I'll probably be doing something similar when my Kush sprocket wears out or starts falling apart.
 
Woody has had them (RAD cush hubs) available for about three years. I believe they are a good investment (1000$ all said and done) if you are on the road a lot or even very much.
I have a Kush sprocket and I can tell you the bike is happier on asphalt and even packed gravel a RAD hub my 610 would really love.:)

How's the sprocket holding up thus far? How many miles?

Thanks

Not missing any rubber inserts yet, but some have separated on the trailing edge, so I don't know how long it will be before they start squirting out. I've got about 1800 miles on it right now, but it's definitely smoother than the factory solid.
