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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

  • 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Austria - About 2014 & Newer
    TE = 2st Enduro & TC = 2st Cross

TE/TC So, what would you buy and why?

Which would you choose for trail riding if you weighed 240 pounds in gear?

The PDS is not a tunable for everything as linkage is period.... If you get it good on fast stuff its not as good on slow and vice versus
 
I think you'll be showing us pics of your new TE if I was a being man.

Well, I think you are already a being man...LOL I'm thinking you're right.

So who has a good proven jetting setup for a 2015 TE300 elevation 600-1200' I read the threads and am even more confused now. Guess I can call Halls Saturday to get the no BS solution. So many needles and jets makes me want to call Lectron...
 
Was deadset keen on a MY16 TE300, just found a MY15 with 56 hrs for ~ $4.5 - 5 k less.

I'd pay $100 now to know what changes WILL happen to 2t enduros in 2017...anyone have a crystal ball or solid inside gossip they'd like to share ? :D
In the CycleNews interview a few months ago, Pierer said major redesign for enduros will be MY2017. No specifics, but I would bet they'll lose 7 pounds off the 4Ts, and the husky bodywork will be like the 2016 MX models. 4CS (if not AER) will still need tuner help!

I'm calling into a couple of dealerships today to leave snail trails on seats...again :p

Last time they did suggest, as you say changes to be expected but didn't know or couldn't say specifics.
He did strongly suggest fuel injection was on the cards.
When I asked if they'd be moving on from the supposed problematic 4cs he denied there are issues and suggested people who say there is don't know what they are talking about...no offence should be taken since he wants to sell me a MY16 TE300 of course

If I bought the used one (56hr/2100km) for ~$9k I'd afford to do upgrades, set up and rebuild, new rego and still have change to ummm spend on my cash pit 89 WRK250 ha-ha

This 'what to buy decision' is tough for me. I don't plan on ever selling a bike unless I got such a bargain I'd recoup money. So if a new one it'd become family.

If its true about FI for MY17, there's my choice. Stick with old school carb or move with the greentard driven times...and complexity
 
Supposedly sherco with be fi 2st next year, who knows, can't imagine ktm wletting someone beat them to it in a market they dominate
 
On a 2 stroke I think I'd rather have a Lectron than conventional fuel injection but direct injection would be sweet if they are anything like the snow machines and outboard engines.
 
I scored a low hour 2014 TE250, saving $4-5K over new and having to buy all the extra hardware, and I love it. Having owned two 300s, and 2 200s, this bike is the sweet spot. I am still dialing it in, but it doesn't need much. I do have an SX head to install, and will be going up one tooth on rear sprocket. They just don't make bad bikes anymore.
You can change the character of all the 2 strokes, but you can't dial out vibration on the 300 is that is an issue for you, and you can't bump up cc's on the 200. The 250 can be a 300 if you desire it, but I bet with proper jetting, gearing and a head mod you will be very happy.
 
2015 TE300 . i'm a fat ass and a 300 would suit me best and buying a leftover usually keeps a few bucks in your pocket so you can purchase some needed accessories.
 
Someone needs to come to the dealer I am at right now! Black Friday deal! 2014 tc250 4700. New come get it. It has cc wp forks too...no 4cs
 
Why didn't you get it? KTM dealer decide to throw a free toaster into the deal? Lol

Same dealer sells KTM and Husky. I bought the bike that had the better deal. No toaster, but I may ask about some underwear.:D Skid plate thrown in and it was still less than the TE. For the type of riding I'll be doing, it should suit me fine. Bottom line is the darn 4CS forks, just not willing to dump a ton into another set.
Pictures to come. The bike is being prepped.
