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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi going to have a second clutch into son bike, water pump seal to be replaced as well. Is this common.Bike is 2012 with 60hrs.
 
$500 and crf150r is back to the glory days, easy to start no water loss just rippen. Now kid wants a bigger bike,god bless them with I WANT.
 
Do you just mean clutch plates and fibers, or the entire clutch? Like the basket, hub, pressure plate and everything else mentioned? if its just the plates and fibers and he has 60 hours on it then id say that isn't abnormal at all. Those are relatively inexpensive and depending on the rider may need changed very often. As far as the seal goes, is this the first time the seal broke or the second?
 
Put a weseco clutch kit in the second time with heavy springs, so he can not fan the clutch. Buy some amazing wounder son didn't realize the bikes power. Now the bike has to grow wheels as kids has had a growth spurt. Connor it is the first seal kit. Is this a common problem.

These are nice small bikes to learn on but it's gonna play out as soon as he learns to ride ... ESP if he's riding with friends on 250 4t or about any 2t machine...

The 200 XR hondas I see here all burn the clutch fibers out if you try to feather them very much...
 
I would like him to ride the te250 a bit more but tells me it is too slow he needs a crf250r. Find it had to believe as bike seems to go quick enough to keep up 250t and 450f, think he is trying to milk another bike. Would love to have a white husky too but finances put a stop to that dream. So is a meo too slow it's not powered up if done will it were out internal parts quicker or not.

You are the Dad ... You gotta figure all that out :) ... Good luck there..

Personally, if you are not pinning a bike at ~every corners' exit, it is not too slow a bike ... And I'm sure ~every rider might say something different... ~10k for a dirt bike is not my dream... closer to a nightmare really than a dream.

My 010 TCs are pretty much stock ... I think the 012 TCs have all the power-uped components on them I think? Reading all the EFI threads out here today, I kind of got lost on what each bike needs ... In any event, they all go as fast as I can handle any way ...

Did you guys ever decide on a bike for your son?
 
Yeah so true ray_ray hold it on and enjoy the ride. 150r still in the shed not going anywhere son is going on ride with mates out town common today. With friends on 250s so excited times for him. He might see how good it is to have less of cc.
