• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 non-Husky motorcycle, ok it's not even a dirtbike

Any new 4 stroke is worlds ahead. There is no conspiracy - they are just better.

first off, it pulls starts easily, especially warm. a lil rabbit punch is all thats needed hot. no harder than starting a four stroke without a magic button.
im not saying a 2 stroke is better, i love my zrx. like bill said its about owning something different and some of us just love 2 strokes and the different engine characteristics. a drawback would be little engine braking..

why a 10 speed? you dont think a massive 500-800cc 2 stroke can be tuned for all around power? sure directly swapping my sled engine is going to be peakier due to being designed to have a cvt tranny but i dont think 165 horsepower would translate as being "needy" for shifts. im sure if the factory actually made a bigger 2 stroke bike it could be made very broad if desired. my ancient tech 430 husky can cover quite a bit of ground briskly using only 2 gears, much like a big thumper.

I don't recall anyone in this thread claiming 2 strokes are better, simply different and preferred by some for the aforementioned characteristics. The fact that you project what is a statement of opinion to be fact leads me to believe there may just be a conspiracy and you are at the forefront of it ;). Consider part of the reason someone may perceive 4 strokes to be "better" is because they've benefited from far more R&D in motorcycles compared to 2 strokes. Unfortunately this can be a very polarizing subject. It's simply a matter of opinion, and you know what they say about those. I say: Different strokes for different folks...pun intended.

Funny thing is 2 stroke snow machines are dominating 4 stroke machines and the 2 stroke have cleaner emissions.... also the current MX rules imply that two strokes are twice as good as 4 strokes.
 
Haha - I love all 2 wheelers. I'm just no longer in denial. Try them all (with an open mind and be willing to use them to their strong points) and see for yourself. And I'm talking street bikes.

Back in my roadracing days, I spent quite a bit of time trying to dodge TZ250's as they seized and/or crashed because the conditions changed and they weren't running right...

It will be tough to ever top a 2 stroke when using snowmobile style clutches. I'm surprised that my Rzr has a 4 stroke.
 
Add the UFO in the 2t sleds in the round slide carbs.
Heck add the UFO to the RZ500v4 carbs.

All my mikuni 38mm round slide carbs will get UFO installed in them.
 
I had a street legal, registered '98 250wr husqvarna. It was a hoot on the street. The little kids and the babes loved the graphics.
 
I'm in the process of trying to get my WXC 360 plated. Fingers crossed I'll be registered for the street next week. The neighbors will love me.
 
My '98 was more of a street version. It had the Speedo, lights, brake lites front and rear and mirrors.
