08 TXC250 Weight...

245 lbs as weighed on a large pallet sized, calibrated shipping scale. Weighed with maybe a quart of fuel, and the triangle stand in axle. Everything else is still stock accept the JD jet kit and some extra loctite in spots. The bike has not even been ridden yet so no mud hidden or anything.

I will weigh it again after the Motosportz protection bits, trials tire, HD tubes are all installed.

I may push it out to the scale again this afternoon to get the front and rear weights and some pictures.

Not that weight matters or anything.

Later,

Before you know it we will outnumber the KTM's...

Scale photo's...

Without the triangle in the axle it would bounce between 243 and 244.

Rear weight

Front weight

One more of where it spent the day parked...


Front and rear add up to 238, I guess I was supposed to have the tire that was not on the scale at the same height as the scale to get accurate #'s.

Later,

I think I will just haul it around in my truck and not actually ride it.

It is way to nice to get all dirty.



Later,

I have the last trials event of the year Sunday at Washougal. I am 4 points behind 3rd place in the final standings... Can't miss it... I may take the Husky up for a breakin ride at John's/Jones creek after the event.

Saturday I am taking care of the wife, she is having some minor surgery Friday.

Ball ramp looks like it needs to go in the box o spare parts. Weight reduction of course.

Later,

I have to ride it at least once before it gets hijacked.

Later,

Yes...the Husky nation is growing in the PNW! I'll just try and NOT be the last one in line...can't wait to ride with you again Jake. Congrats.

PS I almost forgot how beautiful they are when you first get them...Sexy!

Hey David,

We will have to go explore the root infested mess that is rieter this winter some time.

There is one sure way to de-sexify these bikes...

Mount up a trials tire!



Later,

Congratulations Jake. Looking forward to a Husky only ride 09 at Gifford

Thanks Scott, Congratulations on one fine racing season.

I am already dreaming of Gifford on the Husky. I will have to do something about fuel capacity though, 2 gallons would just be the warmup ride.

Later,

Best wishes on her surgery.

Thanks Creeper.

It got postponed until after the first of the year for insurance reasons.

Now I get to ride the new bike!

Later,

Cool, Belfair tomorrow then?
We can run the Enduro course backwards.

Ugh, this Monday through Friday work crap causes me to miss the best rides!

I will have to get to Belfair sometime this winter though!

Later,

Which trials tire are you running?
I am running Dunlop 803's on both of the bike's. The only regret that I have is not having trials tires on my bike sooner

Dunlops on the dirt bikes so far, I think I will try that Pirelli next time though.

The Trials bike has Michelins, when the rear is too worn for trials I will toss it on one of the big bikes.

The Dunlop on my WR has been looking like it is going to loose every knob for the last 300 miles. It has 2 knobs missing now and still works great. That is just under 1000 miles including 2 ISDE's...

I didn't even bother riding the new bike with the stock knob, it will go to the new owner of the WR.

Trials tires rock!

Later,

248 lbs...

Weighed again with the Motosportz protection, trials tire, ziptied and velcro'd battery, strip of tube under the battery and at the seat support on the subframe.

I looked at the dry weight that is claimed in the owners manual, 229 lbs...

Dry must be without the battery, fluids, etc.?
