1st ride on 2010 txc 250 husky

Just got back from 50 mile ride out of Ginger Creek on 2010 TXC 250 Husky. Describe it in one word. AWESOME! This is the first bike that I've owned in a long time I actually fell in love with. This is a great bike. Feels like a 125, good power, suspension is starting too loosen up. Goes where you point it, tracks really well, great brakes. A little weak on bottom end power. Have been riding a CR 250 Honda with a Recluse clutch for the last 5 years and I weight 225. So now I'll have to learn how to use a clutch again. It takes a lot too impress me. I'm impressed! Well off to do maintenance on bike, then back too the woods tomorrow.

Well congrats on your new TXC. It's only going to get better; enjoy.

Didn't run into any snow. Too warm, maybe later this week. Just happened to find a little mud today. ( about 55 miles worth ) Saturday was perfect. Kelly, what do you suggest for sag on the rear shock? Bikes running great. Have to learn how to use a clutch again. Recluce is nice, but it makes you lazy. Got a 3 day weekend maybe, got to do trail work at least one day, falling behind again. Let me know what day you want to hook up? Chris

Kelly,Do you what springs fit the Sachs shock? Chris

Mine is a 2008 TXC250 and I luv it also...it is so easy to ride...sometimes it feels like a honda when I'm riding down fire roads at an easy pace ;00) Then I crack the throttle and I can feel the Husky come out of it...It turns very easy and feels light on the trails and open roads. I dialed in the rear shock and changed the oil in the front forks to 5wt...I think I could have gone down to 2.5wt for the single track riding...It soaks up small to medium stuff in single track now without me even noticing most of it now

Are the 010 models a six speed? I like the feel of the 6-speeds...you can just keep popping the gears and the motor pulls the same through each time you change!!!

I was afraid the 250 2-strokers would blow me away in a drag race but that is not the case...I'm hoping to put the JD jetting kit on him to help performance bump up alittle more

Yes the 2010 TXC's are 6 speeds. K or someone with one will have to fill you in on how the TXC's pull through the grears but from what I have read and how my son's 2010 TC 250 pulls I think they would pull better than the previous years. Good write up on your 08Ray.
