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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

RTW Trip on my Husky TR650

Hola!

I am planning for a round the world trip from Austin TX to Ushuaia, Argentina starting in October. I I bought my Terra last September and have loved every moment of riding on this bike. So far its been very easy to maintain and hasn't had any issues whatsoever, but does feel like it runs hot at times.

As a newb to Husqvarna, rotax engines, and even fuel injected bikes - does anyone have any advice on how to keep this bike in tip-top shape while on the road?

Much appreciation in advance!
 
A lot of these Huskys have air pockets in the coolant hoses. It's a well documented issue and a search will show how to burp it. Good luck on your trip.
 
Pay good attention to fuel and fuel quality. Use only the best, and pre filter if need be.

Take lots of pictures or it didn't happen :)
 
I'm new to this bike as of 3 weeks ago. I don't have much advice, but following this thread out of interest. What does your route look like? What tools and spares do you plan to bring? How are you crossing the Darien Gap? Under what conditions does your bike run hot?
