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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2006 te250

any concerns about a 2006 TE250 ? I would immediately put on a 310 kit and it would be geared for highway with a dyna-ring (if possible) autoclutch, or a rekluse if I can find one, to help in the single track

anyone know if the 2006 came as a 50 state legal? I cant remember what year they started that
 
No concerns at all, great bike, I have one :)

50 state legal, just like a car. :thumbsup:

While everyone has different needs & desires, it works quite well without the 310 kit - but at least a couple of people have put that kit on when the bike got many miles on the bikes.
 
I talked to the shop that's selling the bike, there's no blinkers or brake switches on it, but it has a title, or so they say. Anyone know how expensive all of that is gonna be? I need a true street legal bike or I'll get hassled

I'm only getting rid of my xr440 because it's not 50 state, the dmv tried hard to find a way not to title it here in georgia, and the two states I'm looking at moving to, both are hard to title in.
 
Are you sure they took the brake switch off? The thing that resides in the brake line that actuates the brake light? Makes no sense to me to remove that.

Assuming you still have the brake switch and blinker & horn controls, it would be a simple matter of buying some cheap blinkers at the local bike shop, $40? Then there is the horn & the standard mirrors off other bikes fit.

You may want to go over and take a look at it, maybe some pics would help us give you input :)
 
Except for efi, the 2006 through 2009 te250s are almost identical.

I've wrenched on several 2006-2009 bikes, although they are all good 2006 is my personal favorite. My valves don't move, always works. After 4 years I did need to replace the battery.

Anxiously awaiting pictures :)
 
they want 3k for it, obviously I wont offer that much, it's a couple hours from me so I have to work out a time to get up there when they are open
 
Bullet proof same bottom end as the 450/510 so you wont kill it and it will certainly take the 310. One of my riding mates (Seahorse) has one, its a great bike-he has a rekluse on it and it is a great bike in the tight. He has been waiting about 18 months to put his 310 kit on, unfortunately the engine is still it great shape after nearly 6000Kms so it will have to wait a bit longer.
 
what kinda gearing will I have to run, to run 60mph comfortably ? I do not dualsport too often, but when I do, we will do highway stints between locations

15/48 or 47

This combo will make your first gear feel like 2nd on stock gearing, however.
It'll also be fine for 2 track and mild trails etc., but it won't work well on really tight or very technical trails.
The 1548 will allow you to ride at 60mph at about 7100-7200rpm or so.

I used the 15/48 combo on our recent 800km Paris-Dacre challenge. It worked well until I severely watered the bike out at Km529, ending our day.
Got about 70mpg(cdn) on the roads- almost 150 miles to a stock tank. I rode at about 60-62 mph on the road sections. The sustained RPM, combined with 326 hours on the engine at the start of the event, did result in some oil usage; about 2-300cc every 120km, or so of roads. Off road, it didn't seem to use any, or very little.

I've got stock gearing (13/50) and it hits the rev limiter (12,500) at 83 mph. I've only done that a couple of times for a few seconds.
 
guys since this is a 250 thread thought of jumping on this one.....there is a slight leak from the bottom of the oil drain bolt....since i bought this bike...i changed the oil and got the new 7602 clutch cover to check the oil....the oil drain plug didnt have the crush washer...so i put in one....but even after all this the leak is still there....any ideas...not a huge leak but every day there is a small puddle...maybe like 5-6 drops of oil....

ohh yes this is a 2006 250 with 4000 miles on it...

Ideally you would start your own thread, especially considering the bottom end is identical with the 2006 TE/SM450/510... but... I'd try 2 crush washers.

I keep meaning to experiment with a garden hose rubber washer to see how that might work because it looks like the same size, but I've not done that. I'm not sure how well that would work.
