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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

449 / 511 recap and info

I agree great write up.... I too have owned more bikes than I can count and have done more than most people will do to them (stunt, dirt, ice and supermoto). I had a TE511 and still own 2 TC449s. One dirt and one Supermoto. The bikes are awesome and do very well once the oil puking issue is remedied. I've ran thes bike flat out on the Ice for 3 hour endurance races, rode wheelies for hours and raced with the big boys on the SM track and loved every minute. The fit and finish is far superior to the older Huskys I've owned and I agree there are some strange things they did but they make the bike unique and all work well. Filling the fuel tank fast can be an issue with tire warmers on for gar to spill but once you get used to it no big deal. I can't say enough good things about the 449/511 platform. I like the TC449 for the extra power but it is still lacking a bit compared to the jap bikes in a horsepower race but no big deal.

Can someone tell me the fixes for oil breather and level? I assume this is the problem of filling the air filter with oil due to too much oil in engine?

Honestly if it had a wider gearbox I might not have bought the TR650. In fact if I only had one bike this would be it. It would have been cool had they kept updating this bike and built a few models from it. One more stripped down TC449 style off road only like the TXc but even lighter and a "adventure" model with factory oil cooler and 2 plus quarts of oil, 3.5 gallon tank, wide ration trans.

I'm hopeful of the future because they do listen to us on here. :)
 
IMG_0656.JPG This Momad 4.5 liter tank for the TE 449/511 is a big step toward making it a better dual sport bike.
 
ah your killing me, I want a 511 bad but need to pay shit off this next year.****************************************
 
While these are really nice bikes but it is all rider there. He could do that on any similar mount regardless of brand. Cool vid though, that guy has nice control.
 
So it's a TC449? Some nice riding for sure.. interesting title says Husky Trial, wonder if they modified it to mimic Trials type bikes. Pretty sweet video regardless
