My name is Chris, I am 44 yo, live in So Cal, and been riding motorcycles since I was about 7 years old. I have pretty much been a Yamaha only owner for a long time, but after researching the choices and with some friends advice I went Husky when looking for a dual sport bike. So I picked up a new 09 TE450 on 5/9, I can't wait to get a couple hours on it so I can open it up. What else is in the garage? For my 39 mile commute to work through some of Los Angeles's worst traffic I ride an Yamaha FZ1 and I race in the AMA District 37 Desert series on a Yamaha WR250F. I also have a Yamaha quad in the garage right now.
Hi PC.... Welcome to the forum. I'm the Vintage Forum moderator. View the 430 jetting thread and maybe Picklito can offer up some of his tips for you! I like the way you use "Composite"! T
husqvarna cr125 I have a 04 cr125 husqvarna. First two stroke so dont know much about them. Researched as much as i can, just found this web site it seems awesome!!
Hi All, I'm thinking about buying a new Husky and heard that this is the forum where all the cool Husky riders hang out So thought I would join and try to get some info. I'm thinking about trying a 09 TXC 250 or 450 just not sure which would be best but I'll check out some threads here and see what kind of info. I come up with. Cool site
Great to have you aboard. If you're like me you're just going to love the 510. Did you grease her up and remove the throttle stop? Welcome to Cafe Husky. Check out the 2 stoke section lots of good reading there. Welcome HSrider, It really depends on you type of riding, ability and where you like to ride. TXC 250 is a great bike and the 450 is just a little better.
Thanks for the welcome and I'm a Senior A rider but don't race much anymore do a lot of trail riding though. Never tried a 450 and was just thinking about giving one a shot and the Husky seems like it might be the one. Our trails aren't super tight but here and there we hit some tight stuff. From what I've read though they seem to handle it fine. I have to say I'm even more curious about these new 09 125s and the Husky dealer I would be getting the bike from is currently riding one of them so maybe I can get a leg over it some time. Again looking forward to the great info. here
Hi guys, Yeah, I'm new, just thought I'd introduce myself. Just bought my first Husky...... an '06 TE610, which I obviously picked up second hand, but it had a legit 32 kilometres on it......was near on brand new. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from hanging out on this forum. Cheers,
Hi All Drew Smith here from W.E.R. I'm very impressed with cafe Husky and happy to see all the enthusiastic contributors. I did extensive suspension work with Scott Summers GNCC team last year and have just purchased A 2009 WR-2stroke to continue testing.I am heavily involved in events in the norhteast and do alot of work for dual sport & trail riders so we are not focused on race only applications. See us at www.werproducts.net There's alot of basic bike set up info on the site that can be a big help regardless of brand. Best Wishes.
Welcome Drew! I moved your post into the introduction thread from the aftermarket parts thread so more people can see it. I want to personally thank you for spending time on the phone with me... maybe 18 months ago discussing a few things such as trials tires. Hope you can visit often
Hello All- I recently purchased a 2005 TE450. Im in the process of going thru the bike and getting set up for my liking. I have installed a JD Jetting kit for 6,000 + ft and have begun experimentation with a RaceTech Gold Vale (1) kit. The online matrix for the valve stack given my weight and riding style is close, but no cigar. I have made adjustments to the mid valve shim stakc and am no in the process of dialing in my main stack.
hello all. use to own a TC450. I get reference links to this site from few friends so thought I would join.
Hey Trav, Welcome to cafe Husky! You may have to come back to the good side one of these days. Later,
