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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ok, I am pretty much a 2-stroke guy and wanted to just see what it is like on the "otherside"
I am not biased against 4-strokes, as a matter of fact my Nissan truck is a 4-stroke.
Took the ex-Kreig 2010 TC250 out last sunday for it's first ride on some tight single track. First of all I am spoiled by a wr125 with an auto clutch, so my first impression is I like the TC but I got tired quick. It seemed it took a little more effort to make it go where I wanted than the 125 naturally. I loved the motor though! Instant power whenever I needed it. The bike seemed to be stable also, once I got it pointed it stayed on course, and could climb a rutted hill without it trying to bounce out of the rut or getting sideways.
I do like the bike and I am going to go over the suspension settings(the back end sits lower than my 125) I had some buddies help me set the sag but they were pretty busy "recycling" beer cans so I am not sure where it is. I am also working on getting an auto clutch, it doesn't need it power wise, but I did stall it 5-6 times during the day, and even though it usually started with 1-3 kicks, it takes a lot of energy on the side of a hill.
I went 13-52 gearing, and I believe it slows it down enough through the rock gardens with out giving up to much top speed.
Also I am back on my work out program, I have been a little slack the last 6- weeks.
I am down( that means good to the ole timers) with the 4-stroke and I think I can go both ways with some set-up work and it is cool to hear a different sound for awhile.
