• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
    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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Post up pictures of your 4 stroke bikes!

Axle goes in from the other side so the pull arm is on top. :thumbsup:

You are right! Thanks for picking up on that EnduroTourenMadiera and Motosportz. Picked up the bike on Thursday morning, first ride Thursday afternoon, then almost a foot of snow on Friday, so I really haven't had a chance to go over the bike yet. Pull arm should be on the opposite side facing up and forward. Thanks again guys!!!
 
my 2005 TC250 after a hare scrambles. With RaceTech front springs and forks reworked by my local dealer, it's a fine woods machine. Stock bars have an inch or so cut off and Moose hand protectors added. ASV shorty levers, Force radiator guards, and Rooster bash plate, exhaust shield, and rear disk guard make it as crash tough as my skills require. Now it has a Clark tank on it (mostly because I got tired of wasting money on bodywork that's just going to get torn off), a homemade grab strap to pull it out of the mud, and a radiator overflow made from my wife's hair mousse can.

I've had zero issues out of it - it gets flogged and has hit the ground at least 150 times. Yeah, I ride over my head a lot. This is what happens when you start racing 3 months after buying your first dirt bike.

Only thing I could really use is a bar mounted hot start lever. A steering damper would be nice I guess but I've never ridden a bike with one.

Are those Bulletproof radiator guards? How do you like them?

They're great! A bit pricey but very high quality and would take an M1 tank to bend or crush them from any direction. Right rad on my 510 got folded back and the inner row crushed when I dumped it in a dry sandy river bottom using a different style of protectors. Thought I'd give these a try. They breathe pretty well, too.

Thanks! Radiator guards are next on my "to do list".

Just put these in the "upgrade to smaller bike" thread. Probably belong here instead.

Where did you get the kickstand ? and I noticed you have a fan on the bike. Do you need the fan?

Both of those items come on the 2010's, that was a nice surprise! Plus the kickstand is WAY better than the 08 510's.
 
Riding bike is easy, working out how to put pics up interesting. Some pics from a couple of weeks ago. Heading up bush tomorrow to get some action ones.

Welcome to cafe husky! :thumbsup:

Grab the 'img' line from the photobucket picture instead of the 'html' line and your picture should show up just fine

:cheers:

Nice bike hauling vehicle! What is that; an old Subaru?

I wish they'd bring back the El Camino.

If you look at the front half, it's just like the GTO. I think that is the only vehicle we have for sale in the states made by Holden. I love foreign cars, they make me laugh!

Greg (ion) wish my TXC looked that unmolested. Does not take long to knock the shinny off.

No kidding,my 09 looks about five years old. The paint is worn off the frame,plenty of scratches and lots of war scars. But then mine probally gets ridden alot more than most. Heck, I keep it clean but just doesnt look new anymore.
