• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Two new 2T models for 2017

Air forks, mikuni carb, back to white, and of course a redesign like the rest of the mx lineup from last year.

I guess the blue ones were limited edition models lol. Was hoping for estart on the tc250 lije the 4st mx models
 
air forks schmair forks fill em with helium/ noble gas and float over stuff..........
Im going to trust WP on this one like I trusted them on the 4CS forks.........
note a couple of the major suspension tuner companies are building spring retrograde kits for the Japanese KYB and Showa air forks.......sounds a lot like our reconfigure retrograde kits for the 4CS system....

the only new bike that garners my interest is the TX300..........hmmmmm
 
From what I have read. The WP AER 48 forks are quite a bit better than the showa or kyb versions of air forks. I guess time will tell once the general public gets some time on them. I'm diggin that FX350. If Husky only made a TX 250 also. A TX250 and FX350 sitting in the shop would make me a happy man.
 
Husqvarna having a cross country line again plus bringing bikes that we want is totally a good thing. The more I see that the brand is getting the recognition and support it deserves, the less I am concerned about the connection to KTM. The transition from BMW ownership and support of those bikes was not handled as well as it could or should have been, but the new Husky is surely moving in the right direction.

So the top speed of a xcw/te is about 90, how does the xc/tx top out?

The present KTM XC tranny only moves first and second up and closer to third, when compared to XC-W. third through sixth stays the same.... so top speed is the same. I can only imagine TX and TE are the same. If you want a 100mph desert sled, you put a 14T CS on it....

Supermoto. Really would be cool if theres a tx150 :)
 
I just reconfigured my TX300 back into TE300 form.....for last few months I had the TC (TX) set up on my TE300 stripped down and clean!
ie no lites , no under fender out back, TC number plate up front.
as seen on other threads- Here's my 2014 TX300............(she's back to 2015/16 TE config now again)

Easy, they give the customers the opportunity to pay for helping them with long term fork testing so the race teams can use proven designs inside the same tubes. They should just start making the cone valve forks an option so people don't need to worry if the new shiny object that comes standard will work for them.

But who knows, maybe they actually got it right this time?
 
I have great hope that these WP Aer forks work.......
funny that a few of the major tuners already have reconfigure to spring kits for the Showa and KYB air fork equipped Japanese MX bikes.

I really want these forks to work.....the tech has to be there by now---F1 has had air "spring" valve trains for years now----that's sealed compressible cylinders bouncing around at 20k rpm engine speeds. Lightweight low inertia...perfect for suspension...we pray!!!

I like the cone valve system suggestion best though.....its really what practically all the top tier KTM/Husky racers use.
 
I have heard from a hydraulic engineer who does race suspension that the cone valve is quicker to react thus better traction (keeps the tire in contact with the ground) but the down side is that the set up is very specific to terrain and rider speed and ability in other words not as forgiving as a shim stack in the SS KYB. That's not necessarily a bad thing but to have it working at a high level you might have to tune your forks a lot more often and have different set ups for nearly every track.
 
No fuel injection, no oil injection, add these with electric start on a 400cc to 500cc 2T close ratio with XC suspension count me in. NO FUEL MIXING, NO JETTING I'd be in heaven.

HUSQVARNA the LEGEND CONTINUES the next chapter of championships to be won.
 
After what I saw on a KX450f when he blew both fork seals going downhill and did the biggest lawndart ever.... now you are only going to have one fork filled with air so if it blows your DONE..... Its ride height was like completely bottomed out and was next to impossible to ride back to the truck.... I really want one but man a YZ450FX or CRF450X is looking better and better.... But man the Husky looks sweet
 
How come no one has developed a fork cartrage that could be setup for exact track. Removed after the race and the one setup for the next track installed. The proper flow and adjustable valving is in each cartrage. Pop out and pop in.
