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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE 449 Sumo Wheel/Rear Sprocket Size

Hello Fellow Tarders,

Looking at getting a Warp9 setup for my 2014 TE 449. I have the option for 17" to 18" rims as well as a sprocket size ranging from 47 to 51. I just want to know what others have done and what I am wanting are:

-Front Rim Size
-Rear Rim Size
-Rear Sprocket Size (# of Teeth)

I will most likely never race it and will use it as a weekend rider and a tear up the curvies around my house.

Thanks for the input,
CBC
 
OE size wheels for the SMR are 3.5x17 front and 4.25x17 rear. I'd recommend a 5x17 rear for better choice of tyres, it's a touch more effort to put the wheel in but worth it. Sprocket wise the OE gearing is 15/43, for highway miles I recommend 15/40 or if you only do tight and twist 15/45.

Is there a huge difference in taking this advice for the 2013 te 449? I'm about to purchase my wheel kit through motostrano and think im set on 5 inch rear and now need to decide what tire size to throw on it and by who.
