Pics of 2012 TC250: Available in September in Europe... New head, Keihin fuel injection and new exhaust apparently gives approx +4bhp over 2011. Dave
Keihin ! BINGO! This will be our 2012-2013 race bike! Goodbye Green Steam Roller! Yippee! Anyone wanna buy a 2011 KX 250F?
Keihin is the best word I have heard come out of husqvarnas mouth in a long time. It's about time they ditch that Mikuni setup and join the rest of the world. Put this head and FI on a 2012 TXC 310 and I'm all over it.
yep... was thinking about the 449, but this will be in my garage for 2012.... regardless of release date.... I will exercise restraint if needed, but I really hope Husky gets them out sooner than later.
...OH OH, I might have to start saving for one...I really love my 2010 TC250,but I might just have to trade up! Guscycle
from WhiteRocket whats the lil can on the headerpipe? seen them on other bikes too.Its been a design staple on Akropovic pipes for a number of years now. Its technically a Helmholtz resonator, FMF and ProCircuit have wrap around designs of the same design logic. (a tuned frequency sound reducing chamber) See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_resonance explanation in exhaust systems read below article http://www.paraglidingteam.nl/PPGTechnics/sound and noise/Mufflers/1155795969.pdf
the new head looks to be a full cam chain design instead of the chain to gear to cam set up. less rotating mass. I love La Testa Rossa!!!
Keihin!!! I think some of you may not realize what this button is for --->>> Thanks for the update!!!
Good observation! That would be the most logical conclusion based on the pics of the left side of the head.
Don't think so although not 100% sure. The TXC is normally Enduro spec engine with MX chassis and the 2012 TE250 doesn't have the new head. Dave
The new head was designed with MX in mind to allow for larger valves and room for larger valve springs to take advantage of the constant higher rpm's. I have done work with the original head and with fixing the porting and changing the (as far as I am concerned) poor choice of cams, the engine really comes alive.
