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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey Everyone, I Just Bought My First Husky Ever. Woo Hoo

Personally I dont have a problem with my second hand 2010 TC450, other than a slight problem climbing hills, it doesnt seem to like them at low RPM. Yeah Yeah, go faster I know.
I'm just wondering if they have made them easier to kick start these days, mine seems very easy to kick compared to the 2005 TE and a 2002 WR450. Clearly the two guys from the other two bikes have filled my head with doubt as I think the bike goes fine when Im riding it, other than the low RPM problem.
 
Well thanks alot for the feed back, it is looking like everyone is right, Husky's are extremely hard to own and even harder to get fixed. WOo Hoo guys THANKS!
 
I think he's being sarcastic. ;)

Welcome to the forum, Barry. I don't have any answers to your questions as I don't have any experience with the bikes you mention.

For technical questions, post them in the right forum (one of the sub-forums of Husqvarna Motorcycle Discussions, i.e. 4-stroke, EFI/Carb, etc.), and you will have little difficulty getting helpful responses. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum and it's difficult to find a situation that someone here hasn't already experienced and likely has a solution for.

Cheers.
 
Barry post over in the 4-stroke section and you will get some responses. I haven't ridden the TC450 but had the TXC510 and have the TC250 both would climb what ever I pointed them at. Check your jetting.

Hi Barry,

I own a 2009 TC510. I also have a problem with flame out in low RPM's when trail riding (same proplem with my rmz450). Starting the bike after a stall could be a trick. Dan at MotoXocita taught me a trick that works well and saves my leg. Kick it complete TDC, let a slight amount out with the compression release, then kick to start. I hope this helps you. Very hard to explain on the net.
Why does the bike stall at low RMPs? I believe the bike is designed for high RMP motocross tracks and not so much for tractor type trails. Maybe a flywheel weight?
Your suspension might be a bit harsh for trail riding also. The front suspension is my only real complaint with my TC.

The TC will also climb everything. Just no tractoring. You must keep the RPMS and speed up. This is my experience.
 
Thanks everyone, with the lack of responses earlier, I gear it down one tooth at the front, with a little bit of success. however it lacks a fair bit top end speed.
I think I need t go back to std sprockets and perhaps try the fly wheel weight, i have had success in the past with a trials bike. And I will have a look at the suspension, as it was used for cross county motor cross, so I'm guessing that requires had suspension.

Thank you all fr your input
