     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

ridden both the 450 and 510 (and 250) in TE/TXC forms back to back several times. It's not that the TXC is really all that much better just more aggressive and race bike like. i find the limits on the TE's suspension and wish it had more snap. The TXC has a lot more snap and works better that harder you push it prompting you to push it harder. The TE gets upset when you push it real hard IMHO. The suspension gives up and the motor needs more. I'm talking racing here. i am in no way bashing the excellent TE. The TXC is a purpose made race bike.

We do many rides in the winter at a meeting place where all sizes and flavors are represented. All these guys will swap bikes to try and it is really interesting to try them all back to back. All great bikes. In fact those rides are about to fire back up. :thumbsup: (winter area we meet at)

When will you have it to ride?
 
Perhaps a bit off topic...However, can anyone tell me what the stock spring rate is for the rear shock on the '08 TE510..??:)

It was in the owners manual for 2006, 2008 manual might also have it for the 2008 bikes.
 
The manuals say it's a 5.6 kg/mm and the fork is .45 kg/mm. The TXC have the same shock spring but, the fork is .50 kg/mm.

I agree, but I like the way "MY" TE motor works. With this much motor I want it smooth. It makes me ride it harder because there is no hit and it takes away the "feeling" you're going fast because of the hit. Without that little "rush" your brain gets from the hit you twist it harder looking for a "rush" and go faster.

Suspension, that's pretty easy to fix. IMO any bike should have the suspension set up for the rider. The TE has a lesser fork, but it's workable.
