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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Welcome to the forum! Introduce yourself here!

Hello

Hello eveyone. I've been lurking here a while, and have decided to get more involved (pick your collective brains). I currently ride a MG but am looking at dualsporting, and the te630 is most intriguing.
 
I wouldnt join any forum that would accept me as a member

Kwala is in the house. Just picked up a TE610 2009 model and am interested in what mods other riders have done to their 610s - HP, seat, pipe, air box (creek crossings), 25 litre safari fuel tank availability

And how much oil does the sump take - I didnt get the manual with the bike

thanks crew

Good day, my name is Steve...just moved from a YZ450F to a 2010 TE310, what an awesome machine! this is my first real dual sport and my first euro bike, I have alot of ergonomics worked out - bars, +15mm shifter, rear sag etc..still need to get some low profile blinkers so the "whale tail" can be eliminated without dremeling it (would like to keep stock parts intact) also looking for swingarm decals, fork guard decals etc..to protect plastics and metals..any links you have would be great!

ride on!
 
Hello everyone, new to the site. Have a 1974 wr that I bought new in 1975. Have owned a few others over the years but it is the only on I still have. Have been wanting to restore it and maybe do a vintage enduro or two.
 
new guy!

hi all,

long time guest, first time poster.. im involved with a 2000 wr360 (ooooh, yeh!) that a mate owns.. we're in the middle of getting it going again, after buying it as a basket case. just had a full top and bottom end done by R&D here in aussie.
personally, im on a ttr250, but the 2t bug is causing an itch again, might have to go back to ring dingers soon :)

Cheers,
V8R
 
Hows it going everybody. I have been into Huskys for 10 years or so, I have two cr 390's a 1978 and a 1984. Both need work and some tlc but I should have them back in the dirt in no time. I will try to get some pics up of the back to life process. Thanks a lot.
 
Decided to stop lurking

Hi - I have a 2008 TE250 and FINALLY decided to make my first post, mainly so that I can share a post after this weekends riding.

What a blast!

I just purchased my first Husky (73,400WR) for Vintage racing and I'll be looking for rebuild help. Looking forward to absorbing all that knowledge floating around out there.

88 430.JPG need help

Hello all, I am From Pennsylvania & I own a 87/88 WR430 motocrosser. It is the combination of two bikes I had. I took the suspension & bodywork off my 87CR430 & put it on my 88WR430. The leftover parts were assembled & sold. The Bike has given me many years of great fun but it has strarted to pop out of gear when I decellerate. As long as Im on the gas it stays in but when I back off the throttle it pops out of gear. I think it is 3rd or forth gear. (It's been awhile & has been parked since it started happening). I know someone out here must know whats happening & can shed some experienced light on it. Thanks in advance OBD.
 
i didn't know what i was missing until i bought my first husky last year - '09 TE 450. i tolerated mediocrity for far too long with the other "dual sport" bikes i had been riding mostly off road. no longer... this is a great forum and i'm stoked to be part of the husky loving community
 
New to site and tards but not forums or bikes. Just scored and old SM610 and I am hooked. Buying stuff through Tropper Lu's here in Oz and the service and prices are excellent. Hope to be a able to drill the brains trust here for any issues I may have (like upside down kill switches that allow the bike to turn over in the off position, ahem ahem).
ALL HAIL BIKES
 
not sure if i introduced myself to the group yet, cant remember. but here goes...

name is clinton, from the north east, grew up riding dirt, raced hare scrambles and MX until college then sold off my Hondas. even though i rode red for years ('83 Odyssey, '80 CR80R Elsinore, '87 CR125R, '88 XR250, '97 CR250R) i always dreamed of owning a Husky some day. finally scored one in April of '07, a TC250, brandy new... fell in love with the brand all over again.

8-9 years on the street (few track days too) and i've had it. planned to ride all track with the sumo next season but just too expensive. can wait to get back in woods next season on the new ride. the TC will stay for the MX tracks.

Hello All,
Just dropping in to the Cafe. Currently riding the twisties on a CBR 1100XX Blackbird. Looking to add to the stable and the riding experience. I spend a lot of time on a road bicycle and a mountain bike so it's now time to enter the Dual Sport world. I've been reading threads and researching bikes, talking to friends and visiting shops, I've attended the recent Motorcycle show here in B.C. and i think I'm pretty set on a Husky. Not sure which one yet and I'm not in a hurry, but I'm loving the Brand and what they have been up to. I will ride here in the greater Vancouver area and in the north part of Washington State where I have a cabin. I will probably ride a bit in the city as the Bird is too big to jump around on downtown. Any thoughts, wisdom or insane ideas are welcome.

Cheers,
Jimbop
 
Hello my name is cliff, this is my new 2010 310. man i love this bike done 1000 ks Previus bikes have been 1981 cr 450 witch i still have and 2004 wrf 450
 
Hello all - Rider of an 07 KTM 300 here, but certainly like Huskys. Even though I am a confirmed dark sided individaul (2 stroke) I am intrigued with the new 310....Always wanted a plated Kalifownia green sticker bike - but smaller than a 450. I ride at least once a week in Northern Cal.
