  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 510 / SM conversion handling (again)

Thanks! what tires exactly did you go with? what's your SAG and other suspention settings?

I got my bike to handle fine at 80mph + now... and saw 90+ few times. and that's with third line showing. with forks up as original, 70mph would be very shaky. it seems that putting more weight at the front is important.

also, checking TE vs SM settings, rear ride height is the same, but front is lower by almost 2 inches. (shorter fork travel)
 
Im running brigdgestone t003's. There racing/dot's. The fronts are a full race tire. Bridgestone t003's.

My front forks are 1 click out as opposed to 15 clicks out stock. This is for the RR track i race at. By no means for street. Rear is super tight too. These settings will not make a difference in steering wobble.

the sag is set for at 90-100 mm i believe. I will have to double check that i cant remember. but it was waaaaay off for my weight originally.

good luck.

PS i was shocked when i put the new tires on and the wobble disappeared. But im still getting major chatter on the front and rear end on turns. That wont go away until i get triples made.
 
sm

i found that the chatter and hop i had on my bike disappeared when i got the rebound dialed in properly. just a thought....
 
My 09 was horrible, when accelerating it was straight up dangerous how much it wobbled. I lowered the clamps in the forks a few lines and it helped. Once I bought a motosportz damper and I raised it back to stock and I just turn damper all the way up on the street.

Something with the design. wither lower the clamps a few lines or get a motosportz damper. :(
 
contraty to the common sense, but following some tips from this board I raised forks in the tripples...Bike is now much more stable and I can touch 90mph on stock gearing without wobble on knobbies... I also removed the rear lowering link. lowering link removal alone made no difference btw.

cranking up dumper to max IMHO is not a good idea..
