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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Crunched the stock exhaust on some rocks a couple weeks ago so ... might as well replace it! And if I’m doing that then might as well add a JD tuner which means I should just go ahead and get sprockets :)View attachment 94888

Spent a couple hours opening some new trails this afternoon and this thing is a woods slayer. Rekluse should arrive tomorrow ... that’ll be the jewel in the crown. Love this bike!

Rekluse made a huge difference for me. Never stalls.
 
E7EB7B90-0A97-4883-BD3F-A4ECB515E02D.png I haven’t been on here probably since ‘11-2. Glad to see this site still alive & kicking. Wish I could say the same for my te450s. The 07 has major propulsion issues im going to tackle as time & money allows. The 09 is in the hands of a friend but at least it entered in a race ‘19 in street trim, still running the original fuel pump lol
 
My newly acquired 2013 TE250. Bike had been sitting in the first owners garage since 2015 due to it not starting. Got it running in little over a day with a TPS reset, fuel system clean and some wiring repairs. Exhaust valves are loose which could explain the bike being hard to start as well as the previous owner removing the electric starter. Here it is with the unused original plastic kit:

First Post

2005 TE510 aside from blowing oil out the breather and losing its cool on slow difficult stuff, it is like the old Honda XR bikes that were just great bikes.

Changes / Upgrades
Pro Taper bars along with bar pad.
Midwest Mountain Engineering clutch lever, best upgrade, true 1 finger easy control now.
Pro Taper Profile Pro lever same as their XPS, easy adjust and won't break (not shown in pic).
Hour meter (Runleader HM032R - great unit - temporary taped to bar pad)
CNC wide pegs
TM Designworks Chain Guide (stock one was destroyed in rocky terrain)
Fork push button air release inserts
Routed oil breather into air box
Changed left switch block (not shown in pic)
Replaced indicators with cheap and hardy LED (silicon them before install)
Replaced battery with Motobatt MPLX7U-P (Kicks like a horse, wish I'd bought the HP tho)
Steg Pegs

To do:
Swingarm bearings - have bearings (anyone got tips on getting them out?)
Steering Head - seems ok, will will replace bearings and overhaul soon.
Wiring - Have DTM connectors to fit, considering replacing the loom.
Brakes - replace rear brake switch, wiring got cooked by exhaust.
Cooling - have new thicker radiators, silicon hose kit, 1.8 cap, clamps and a fan kit to install.
Front Disc - replace with magnet compatible so trip meter will work again.

oh ... and this is a regular "To Do" .. more riding!
