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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

hows the estart held up?

zero issues..so far, ok only one time on the first button push it failed to engage and spun free, but it immediately worked on the second push. Lately I've been kicking a lot as well just to keep the time down on the starter assembly for when I really need it. This bike starts so easily anyway 2 kicks at most, and the second kick is usually because I screwed up the first.

Robert, is that some type of guard over your rear chain guide?

That is the OEM "Hard Parts" catalog rear tab guard, I first heard of these type of things from a Slavens customer, however I did not like how Jeff used the swing arm vent hole as a mount hole for his set up, but I do believe his set up is probably under load tasting, a little stronger. The OEM guard that I used does not use any drill and tap set up, it just bolts right up over your OEM chain guide. As you can see it does get hacked in the rocks. The thing just ties the 2 cast in hangers together creating a stronger base for the chain guide. The latest version OEM chain guide is exemplary by the way

Ha ha patina....I love it!! But really beating around the bush are ya???? Let's hear the truth......overall what do you prefer. Chapter 2,bike or chapter 3????? Not like I'm putting ya on the spot or anything....lol

Fletch!! man you are more Italian than I am!!! We know the bike is a KTM300 based machine......looking at the racing pedigree of this family of machines, the evidence is clear from Cervantes to Knighter and many others way back.
I love the way this thing looks, I love the effect (perceived or otherwise) of the "plastic" subframe, with only minor bolt on stuff I have her at 95% of what I want. The forks were a disaster for me.....maybe I needed more patience, I could not wait anymore Tecate Enduro was pressing!! To do it again I may have kept them in 4CS config and had Stilwell do them with his set up.
Shock is super good in OEM valve set up with only the addition of proper spring.
Trax shock is even better and getting it more dialed in day by day, super good control noticed especially on ugly downhills (rear stays really in line/no big kick outs) and of course under acceleration up ugly loose rocky up hills (trax system drop out traction effect/ATK style hahaha)

PS I brought her in and pressure washed her---the bike looks super-mucho-major-migliore-best-better all the nooks and crannies are cleaned out now and the bright stuff (read white painted stuff) glows again now.
 
Hahaha, that's what I think too. He also said it was gonna be too slow until he handed over his factory race ecu for me to race with that day.

Looks like that last puerta race in mexico boulder hit tweaked the crap out of my left radiator and brace, I removed it and tweaked it all back to 90% position, good to go (rode the heck out of it again today no issues. see fotos . just installed Rich Lafferty recomended needle, very pleased with this setup. ok see fotos 1 year of hardcore trails and a few races.View attachment 53482View attachment 53483

NOZF-2 (from TE125 parts bin) 35P AS2 165M (I used all that but 162M due to Alt/temp) also with that needle changed my idle, needs some play she was stalling some on the last ride. good news is that she comes through bottom smoother with less "pipe chugging". Im getting very close to finding my happy place.
