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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Top speed

My new top speed 118 MPH. I think it may have a little more in there but ran out of straight. Not sure how accurate this speed is being I did not have it on GPS just the dash reading.

Bike has stock gearing PCV w/auto tune, pod mod and Brisk plugs, GPR duals.

thats is what i guess in mine.. 185km/h tachometer. it has to be 175km/h real. NO top box. very important, and OEM screem. tyres 301/302 trailwing Brigestone
 
Radar confirmed 98 MPH.



Just kidding, the radar was closer to 80 if I remember.
The 98 was what I have shown on the GPS, just over 100 on the speedo and it was pretty tapped out.
Keep in mind I am ginormous and move a LOT of air.
 
I've hit the ton a few times. A mate on his Strada 176! He gets rid of the front end wobble by lofting the front wheel.
 
New head bearings and lifting the forks to the top of the triple clamp tested 101 mph just to see..zero wobble. But almost always keep it 80 or under. 37,570 miles now. Note them are the stock tires from a old pic. Change them out after 4,000 to mefos then cont trail attack 2.

tweber.. Did you notice better mileage now?. mine is now 48.000km i notice more vibes, more top speed, and at 90km/h 1 liter ia about 29.3km. clearly better than ever.

what i am worry about when you has changed the distribution engine chain.
 
you have to replace the timing (cam) chain when it is stretched too much. There is no service interval for this but you can check if it is stretched too much via the timing chain tensioner. At least that's how it was done on the Rotax engines but i am fairly sure it's still the same. I don't think you have to worry at 50k km. The cam chains seem to be good for at least 100k km but on earlier models the tensioner could cause trouble. Also, you will hear a rattling noise when the chain is too loose.

Have a look here at the bottom http://faq.f650.com/FAQs/CamChainFAQ.htm

o How do I actually check the Timing Chain Wear Limit?

  • The Wear Limit Distance from sealing face of plug to piston of chain tensioner 9.0mm (0.35in) for the GS and 9.5mm for the Classic
  1. Push hydraulic chain tensioner (4) in the direction of the tensioner rail in the guide on the cylinder, until resistance to movement is felt.
  2. Measure distance (A) from the sealing face to the chain tensioner piston.
  3. If the wear limit, distance "B", is exceeded, first inspect the tensioner rail and the two guide rails for score-marks and renew them if necessary.

Better milage...will check. Vibes come with summer heat and plugs that need to be replaced...on my bike.

thanks a lot.. for your advise.. i thought it was a km limits to replace it.
i will change to 50.000km.
 
I have run Castrol 10-50 from day one. And on third set of stock plugs! Wuka spoof works fine still @ 38,000 miles. Stock airfilter witha 5/8 sheet uni-filter oil pre filter. Still great power....I am at sea level with high humidity.
