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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2014 Husqvarna line

I just bought a kickstart kit for my 350SXF. Retail $269. Price from my dealer $202.

KTM part number is same as the Husky website.
 
I'd like to be at the design meeting and here the words of some highly educated person giving his reason for not putting a default device such as a kick starter on bike... And I know he is there and in charge ... I've seen that guy on software development many times.

But, as long as the bike can be bumped started, you should never get stranded without some level of effort put forth for starting ...

That's another reason I like riding in the mountains ...

what if your stuck at the bottom of the mountain in a gully/tight spot & the only way out is up & ya battery dies? I pushed my 300 once when I ran out of fuel up some very minor gradients(very gentle slopes) for a few hundred metres & was knackered! good luck bumpin a 500 uphill:eek:. il take the extra weight for piece of mind anyday. hey why no 450 in the states? mate has a 13 fe450 berg & wants an fmf or similar exhaust but nothing listed on websites, told him 501(listed) would be exactly the same just a bored motor right?

Weight. And they can sell you a $300 kit.

My TE511 has no kicker and no way to put one on. Luckily it has been a great starter so far in 5000 miles, zero issues.

KTM left the kicker off the MX versions for weight. I built mine into a mountain goat. What if you are like me and have a Rekluse ? I bought the kicker 5 minutes after buying the Rekluse so I can install both at once.

They say newer Rekluse can be bump started... but I didn't wanna be at the bottom of that gully and test the theory.
 
Sorry if it's been posted, but I haven't waded through all 45 pages of this thread. Has it been announced when the 2014s will be arriving in dealers? I'm interested in a FE250, specifically...
