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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello Terra/Strada owners

Are there any South Africans in this forum?

Husqvarna 650 Terra/Strada has a safety recall in a number of countries :

2: https://www.productsafety.gov.au/re...dels-tr-650-terra-and-tr-650-strada-2013-2014
3: https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2016/03/28/husqvarna-tr650-terra-strada-motorcycles-recall/

If you go to the official Husky site and submit your VIN number there is a safety recall on the 650 Terra 2013 model.

Has anyone got any info from the SA Dealership? Has anyone ever had a recall in SA before, what is the protocol?

Hello Tony,

I called my Husky agent and gave them all the info and they agreed that a recall was necessary. Do the check yourself on the international website. So few of these bikes exist in SA so you might wait forever if you waiting them to contact you.
 
Hey guys, I hadn't been here for a while (had been cut off and spilled on tar, bike's been standing 20 months, but busy getting her going). I wanted to see if there's an update from any of you? Bought my bike 2nd hand so won't get notified - saw the recall a few mins ago as I was looking around again for a solution to the stalling issue (after an inconclusive search in 2016). George, what's the deal, did they have to remove the ECU and send to Europe? My bike is with local agent for the other fixes so planning to have the conversation tomorrow. Appreciate any guidance!
-------
Update - 16/04/2019
Contacted local dealer, who worked through RSA "head office" - my Terra's ECU was included in the recall, got sent to Italy for reflash and returned. TAT was around 10 days. Going to collect her tomorrow and will report back after some riding.

Hi George

I am in Durban and have a TR650, I am not sure if my bike has had the upgrade or not. I will check out that link and see with my VIN number. I am on the look out for a spare set of spoke rim wheels if you hear of anything? 17' back and 21' front.
