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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How was the EFI performance making the climb up to the top?

Even at the base of 8k feet it's rich so could use a map switch and a high altitude map. I bump up the idle speed 4 clicks and on slow sections make sure to keep the revs up. One stall on a steep loose section and the Earth X was admirable how it kept on spinning but took a minute or so to fire. Seems much of my riding is at elevation (more fun than donuts in a pile of sand ;-)), so a map and switch could be handy... Not sure about the expense of a PCV and where to stuff it.
 
Nice, bike Looks serious. Man, I want one of those Rekluse clutches.. but, not flush for $900 bux right now ;( Daughter in last year of private prep school, college for her next year and my son a junior at U of South Carolina.. sheesh..

I hear ya about the cost of putting kids through school - My last one is still in school. But she got scholarship money, enough to finish up - so that is helping me afford a few toys.
I was lucky that the bike already had a Rekluse kit in it plus some other goodies. Don't know if I would spring for such a "high dollar" component for a used bike.
It does help it in tight woods though. My other 510 has a fly weight, but the Rekluse is so much better.
 
I would have never bought a Rekluse with my own money but having bought a used bike with it, I love it. Now it's made my hobby even more expensive because I'm sure I'll buy one for another bike someday lol
 
How was the riding there? That's in my neck of the woods.

It's about 4 miles off of highway 80 at Eagle Lakes Road, near Donner Summit. Mostly jeep trails and Forest Service roads; not motorcycle specific. There's some actual motorcycle areas about 12 miles away on Highway 20 (off of 80) toward Navada City. Tight single track and faster forest roads. Very nice!
