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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

MY12 TXC310 ECU and Injector install (also TC250 Ti muffler)

Well I got my shock back from ZipTY (the one that blew during the 2 day enduro).
So I put the bike all back together. The ECU and injector have been waiting for this moment along with the TC250 Ti muffler (U-lite!!)
Threw in 2 gals of pump premium
she lit right off, warmed up
and took her for a quick round the block street ride. this weekend will hit the trails. can tell she runs fatter on bottom mid, she has that smooth feel rather than the sharp lean feel, also on decel no lean pops. She feels seat of the pants more solid and torque-e. I hit the rev limiter 2x it seemed to hit faster (she reved quicker than I am used to). Not much other than that for a quick ride she feels different and better all ready (but street mean nothing) we will hit an advanced zone thats filled with power sapping hills and ugly washed out rocky canyons this weekend for the trail test.
Thanks to Husky NA contingency (150 Husky bucks) and to my PNW sponsor Jake M for the pipe hook up, that got me hooked up for good $$$ value.
 
trail ride test today, very different more smooth bottom and mid not as "sharp" (read lean feeling), revs like a demon and feels very much stronger with more torque. It will take a few rides to really get used to. I just love this bike and its chassis, its fast, swaps directions and flip flops so easily. The ZipTy modded shock with my same settings is much better at smoothing the initial travel HS hits like rocky trail hack, she just glides right over now, she had some spikes before. It was me and all KTMs 2 200XCs (solid 40&50 B riders) 1 250XCF (SSR fast guy), 1 300XC (A Vet, Baja 500 solo guy) and the Husky 310 (solid B me). Trail speed was very comfortable (not too speedy today). It was dusty silty dry, but temp was not bad and with slight breeze. Probably install the dB-S/A cap to tone down the sound a little, hope to retain the feel of the motor.
 
Installed the dB-S/A cap for responsibility....(tough word for me...) Bike runs fine and little nicer on the ears with it in.
Tested this morn on one of the more gnarley (most gnarley) local zone trails. With the TXC kit I find the bike is a little stuck between 1st and 2nd gear in the rock gardens, 1st way too low and too much bucking about even with good clutch control, the second falls a little on its face and requires lots of clutch control or way higher speeds....With the TXC kit the bike is even more of an expert level race bike she wants to be ridden harder and faster (nice!!) Most of the stuff we ride is more flowing than this particular trail, for me jury is not out on the decision to add a tooth or 2 to the rear to keep 2nd gear smooth and powerful without qite as much clutch clutch play (=lots of engine heat) for the really ugly stuff.
Suspension wise she's really, really good (Race Tech forks, ZipTy shock).
 
13/50 OEM standard TXC310 final drive gearing, may go to 13/52 and tighten up/ bring down 2nd lower for more smooth and friendly hard section use, shoot we have 6 gears. Ill do a gearing commander check to see where it comes in on paper.
 
Thanks WR! Makes sense with 13/52, without re checking I'm fairly sure the TC250 has all the same trans gears thru 5th. I will do my research first along with the gearing commander check
 
also added the Husky catalog parts (LeoVince brand) Carbon Fiber mid pipe guard. I needed it for the TC pipe (thanks to 75 more Husky bucks from Gorman 2 day) the bill for the guard and 2 radiator shrouds was 35 bucks.
