     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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

tc250 2012 trouble

The rod seems to be the weak link in that motor. 30hrs is premature failure but I am starting to think that any motor over 60hrs is on borrowed time.
 
What oil were you running on?

We've only seen a couple of these in the UK but it does seem as if mains / big end were seizing first rather than being the rod letting go for no other reason.

Standard bike
is not the first problem whit bike .
after 18 hours the bolt that holds the locking plate of the crank bearing broke and destroyed piston cylinder and egnition .
was al made under warranty .
maybe the crank was hit whit the previos problem.

i think the tune the efi to lean because the bike gets reasonable hot when driving it in the sand .
 
I have seen the same in 2010 tc also, the conrod broke in half around the big end, did this engine spend much time on the rev limiter
 
compared with others no.
but my opinion is that the big end has more problems whit torque in low rpm rather than high rpm.
that bike is built for racing than it nide's to handle high rpm.

pro x make one and they are about $230 in Aus, I had one go at 55 hours. It started to seize and that caused it to push piston hard into front of the bore and slightly marked it but we got away with it. They are an awesome race bike and so need to be treated as one on the maintaince side of things, the big end is recommended to be replaced after 50 hours which is the same for the others in their league.
 
I moved the for sale posts to the classifieds. I hate to be draconian, but if I didn't, then years from now someone would find this thread and try to buy the cases that were being offered...

And in general people don't tend to maintain their email addresses on internet sites like this, so whoever found the for sale posts would be contacting me to find out to contact the person offering the cases - and those types of requests are overwhelming me.

I hope that makes sense, and thank you for your understanding.
 
My 2010 tc 250 did same thing at 50 hours but was Mx 90% of the time and rode like a 2 stroke to make power. The problem is motor runs hot.

Can you post link? I cant find any for 2012, is it possible that is the same a s for 2011?
 
The only place I have found Pro-X pistons in the US is on eBay. Not sure about 2011-2012 crossover. You might compare piston part numbers in the Husky parts fiche.
