• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 630 Chain Adjustment

Hey all!
I just got a TE 630, and need some advice.....How in the heck do you adjust the drive chain? On a center stand, on the ground, on the side stand? The sticker and the USB manual really suck! It says .47" slack and it appears to be mid measured way on the swing arm. This can be because there all these guides and rollers which get in the way. My LC4 is really simple, this isn't. Thanks for any input.
 
On my 630 i adjust the chain so that i have a little slack when the swing arm is paralel to the ground.At that point you have the longest distance between the front and rear sprocket and this is where the chain is on the tightest point. I take a tie down strap and pull the bike down, and then adjust. The sticker on the bike and manual says 12mm gap between the swing arm and chain. But nothing about if this when the bike is loaded or not. I have tried to adjust the slack to 12 mm unloaded, but then it got tight as a piano string when the bike got loaded.
 
Thanks! I sorta did the dame but sat on it and reached down to see if it was tight. I like your idea. I am fising to put a bigger rear sprocket, so this will help. Thanks.
