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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Please post pictures of your 2 stroke bikes.

Yeh I have tried one of those but it leaves a rash that takes a week to settle down****************************************!!
Before I cut the seat foam down I would struggle when jumping big logs and getting stuck on rocks and stuff on slow technical rides.

Yep. Loved that bike, my first Yamaha dirt bike. Sold it to a buddy who is into vintage bikes, he wanted a cheap reliable trail bike he could count on. I told him this is the bike for him.

Kick stand? Where did you find one that doesn't mount to the swing arm? Just curious!
 
My 03 YZ250 has a Trail Tech kickstand that mounts with 2 bolts to the frame. Where you would bolt on the frame guard. It was only about $50 and never gave me any issues in 3 years of solid riding year round.

There more like over 100.00, I've looked before.
 
Do it!

2 seconds after I installed my first one on my YZ and moved the bike around the garage without having to lean it against something or find the stupid triangle stand I was like "Oh my god why didn't I buy this thing sooner?!"

Its even better out on the trail, same deal, no farking around looking for a place to lean it against, just stop, kickstand down, done.

And to get back on track with this thread, here's a '76 250 WR that I bought cheaply with the intentions of fixing up a bit. Life got busy, I never touched it, finally sold it to someone with the same plan. Have regretted selling it ever since. It was pretty complete.

But no kickstand LOL.

Unfortunately, we always regret the sale. I am kicking my own butt after selling my sweet 08 SM610.

Then there is the blown rod bearing in my sons YZ this saturday. Sure happy 2T's are fixed on the cheap.
 
I didnt know you ever had a vintage husky Ed, Cool. Looks like it had a old Honda front end. Get a mid 80's WR400, they are actually VERY good bikes and fun to ride even with your modern buddies bikes.

Yep, had an early 70's Husky 400 rolling frame project for a while too before I found the '76 250. For some reason I was thinking I would make time to resurrect these bikes, but after having them for a year or so and basically never touching them, I let them go.

But I haven't given up on the idea of getting a vintage Husky dirt bike so I'll keep those mid 80's WR400's in mind Kelly, thanks.

She also came with this

Didn't get to try full throttle yet, she's still in her break in period. But I did feel a slight hesitation around mid rpm. Is that normal and will it improve once broken in? Or is it bad jetting?
 
It could be jetting but the bike needs to be broken in and completely warmed up before you can really judge the motor response.
