  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 450 2008 model

Just purchased a TE 450 2008 Model with 600 klms (21 hrs) on the clock. I was wondering what areas of maintenance I should focus my attention prior to hitting the trails. I have noticed that side stand is a little unstable, is this related to to the rear shock setting ? What is the oil capacity ?

Thanks in advance, any tips are greatly appreciated !
 
Want to apologize for you still being moderated - the forum software is acting up.... again.
 
Oil = right about 1600ml with changing the filter and cleaning both screens
I change the oil in mine every 15 hours of riding or before.

Check the valves if it has not been done already(supposed to be checked within the first 20 hours)

Clean and re-oil air filter on a regular basis(I do mine after every bigger ride or about every 5 to 10 hours) The cleaner you keep the air filter,,the longer the motor will last.

Just a few things to get you started,,enjoy.

Thank You !!!
 
grease shock linkage and steering head bearings-

that kickstand has made a lot of people upset-in general, if the rear is jacked up- can be worse I am sure....

....which reminds me- check your static and race sag- and set preload correctly, change spring as needed for your weight.

:thumbsup:congrats!

That kick stand is cracking me!! It's tempting to cut the tab off and use one of Kelly's. My brother's 06 te510's kickstand is so much better. Anyone know of an aftermarket one for these bikes? It may have to be a home fab project.
