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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE 450 info needed on a 2006 model

Hi guys has you or may not know im looking for a replacement of my husky two smoke. and ive found a 2006 TE 450 with low miles. Now is there anything i should keep an eye out for inparticular. Any info you can provide would great.
 
I have an 06 TE 450 with 4000 kms (2400 miles) all bush. I have replaced front brake pads once, new fork seals at 2000 miles and the battery 6 months ago. I have also replaced the accelerator cables and a stick broke my decomp cable. Apart from tyres she has been absolutely reliable and cheap to run.
It has had the valve clearances checked 3 times-all ok and still in spec.
I have had no mechanical or operational issues with this bike.
I run bark busters, rear disc guard, bash plate, heavier springs and heat shield. The bike is otherwise stock.
I change the oil every 3 rides and the oil filter every 2 oil changes.
The air filter is changed each ride if dusty and or when it looks in need (be on the early side).
I also put a spot of synthetic 2 stroke oil into the fuel (100:1 ratio) to protect the valves and assist in top end/ ring and bore lubrication.
I can only commend this bike as A1 for reliability and performance. That said the later ones are a little lighter and do handle a tad better. I will keep her for another year and update (hopefully to a 350 or 400). I have converted my brother who has been hard core KTM to a 310 and he is now a die hard Husky guy. These bikes are a bit unique, do it there own way but do it very well- if the machine you are contemplating has had a demonstrable service history and looks, sounds and rides well then do it if the price is right. Best of luck to you.
 
Everything seems dandy on my 2006 TE250 :thumbsup:

I've not read any bad things about the 2006 TEs, lasts a long time. :cheers:
