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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My new 2011 Txc 250

nice bike! I also just bought new 2009 TXC 250 yesterday. My bike is still use carb. I do not know shat different perfomance with EFI version. I will use my TXC for wood and single track.
 
2011 TXCi250 UPDATE: This bike is freaking awesome. I raced it for the first time this weekend and,WOW, It performed beautifully. I haven't ridden much since October because I was injured so I got pretty tired. Anyway, I was able to do a shake down ride on Saturday and get the clickers dialed in. This is the first bike, that I can think of, that I will not have to do any valving or springs. It is that good! I will not need an autoclutch either. Although, my hand did get tired from covering the clutch (as a precaution). It will not need a damper either. This bike feels like a toy. The faster you go the better it handles. It corners like a dream and will switch lines whenever you want. This particular track got really whooped out, but it didn't matter. Shift up a gear and it was happy to skip across the tops. The only thing that I will need to do is figure a way to shield the "off" button. I hit it 3 or 4 times with my chest and killed the bike. I wish it had the "on / off" buttons separate from one another, but anyway. I ran just over 2 hours/5 laps and still had enough gas to do another lap if need be. It carries the fuel very low so it doesn't get top heavy which was a big deal on my TE450 / IMS 3.2g.
The Pirelli Extra tires are really good "do it all tires". I don't know how they will be in mud, but we'll see. The power is just outstanding. Very responsive and transfers to the ground predictably.

I believe I have exceeded my allotment of adjectives for one day so I will sign off now by saying Husky has hit a home run with this one!
 
Hey Jason ive been thinking about buying the one Fred's got in the shop. Have you worked out the stalling problems and if you could do it all over again would you have got the 310 instead?
 
I just rode my "new/holdover" 2011 TXC250. I have the same reactions as you, feels nice & small, will spin the bar-clamps around, etc...
Here's my Question: It doesn't seem to rev AT ALL. The throttle grip only turns 3/8 of a turn, & it seems like it only rev's 1/2 way out. Honda & KTM 4-strokes left me in the dust...
Any ideas?
