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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi to all,

I'm João Pedro aka jotaxsi and i'm from Portugal - Azores Islands.
I have a Husqvarna TE250 2010 (since November 2013) and I love the bike. Before, I had a Kaeasaki KX250f 2006 adapted for enduro / TT.

I've done some changes such as removal of the catalyst, air filter twinair TC, O2 lambda off with sel mode switch, exhaust from TC and put a fender of 2013 yzf250 which is fine in Husqy's.

I have some doubts but I will put in the right forum! I hope to learn a lot about the husqy's.
Many thanks

Hello All,
So I did a lot of investigating, before buying. I finally pulled the trigger on a 14 TE 449. I have already purchased Warp 9 wheels and some supermoto tires for it. I plan to use it for getting me back and forth to work and doing some trail riding around central Minnesota. I am tracking on some of the upgrades and had map 3 put on the bike before I took it home, hoping to learn from the posts here on the how to get the most out of the bike economically and keep it going for years to come. Very Excited :thumbsup:
 
Hi all,

Greetings from California. Just picked up myself a 2004 TE450 - my first off road motorbike.

So far I'm loving it with the excpetion of a small niggling clutch issue which I hope to post in this forum.
 
Hi all

Johnhuskywaine here from the uk!

Recently got my hands on a 1998 husqvarna cr125!
The bike was in bad shape wen we picked it up very tatty and unloved!
I'm looking forward to restoring this bike and using this site and yourselfs to help me do this ;)

It's only been a week and I already have found the 1998 a very hard year to get info on,plastics and original graphics are impossible to source! engine parts don't seem to be a problem, plastics are all there but are in terrible shape so be interesting bringing them back to life!

Hope my first post works and you get pics of bike before and after first strip

Happy riding :)image.jpg image.jpg
 
I live in the Philippines. I traded my 2013 KTM 390 Duke in for a 2013 Husqvarna TR650 Terra. I love both bikes, but the TR is much better suited for the roads here. I also have a 2013 Honda XR 125.
 
Hello all!

Not really the typical Husqvarna rider, as I have a Strada mainly used for commuting, but still (arguably) an Husqvarna. I may be because of this forum that I've ultimately bought it, coming from a v-strom.

Cheers! Walter
 
Hi everyone!

Noob Husky owner here from sunny (and rainy) Philippines. Just got my hands on a 2001 WR 125 and absolutely love it! Looking forward to learning more about this outstanding piece of engineering. Keep it up folks!
 
Hello! I just traded my NC700X on a 2014 Strada. I got it from Halls Cycles. Great people there.

I also have a 2008 SMR510 for funsies. It's down for the moment with a broken clutch slave cylinder. I'm waiting for ZipTy to ship the replacement.
 
Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the thread. My name is Paul and I'm out of Western Washington.

I have a 1976 WR 360 I'm in the process of restoring. I bought it from a buddy back in 1985 and it's sat neglected in a barn in Louisiana for the better part of the last 28 years or so.

I hauled it up to Washington last year and started in on bringing it back to life last winter but have drug my feet on getting something on the forum. I had a few minutes at work so thought I'd get started.

Here is how it looked when it got it home...

I'll try to get a build thread started and post some pics of what I've managed to get done so far.
 
Hi,

I'm a new guest from Italy, and I bought my first bike some 10 years ago (GSX-R750 as in the picture).
last year I decided Supermoto was going to be my thing and I bought a 2009 SM610 electronic injection.

I'm having loads of fun with it, as we mostly have here curvy low-speed roads, where anyone can
enjoy supermoto riding!

the bike itself is fun, but the gas pump and all the ignition problems are driving me nuts nowadays,
after I've already replaced the pump last year....
decided to join the forum as it really looked like the only real source of good info you can find online!!!


thanks for being there
 
Greetings!

I am brand new to the forum. I have ridden a few Husky's over the years though somehow managed to get out of them a few years back , up until this past Sunday. I picked this beauty up because- 1) it is a beautiful machine that should be put into action again, and 2) it has a great "story" that goes with it. I am hoping anyone here might be able to shed insight or even disprove the story. The bike is said to have been a factory racebike, possibly even the machine that carried Dan Smith to a Hare and Hound championship. Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this. And thanks for such a great forum to discuss Husky-Stuff!

Hi there, I'm looking to purchase a 2007 model TE 510 are there any common problems to watch out for as I'm new to the husky scene. There are approx 3600kms on the clock.
Cheers,

Hey everyone my name is Wes and I just purchased a 2014 Te 511 and not familiar with Huskies. I definitely want to take advantage of its power but do not know where to start.
I know I will want to put a FMF power core 4.
I read that there is a competitive mapping...How can I get this remapped?
Can anyone point me in the right direction.
I live in Perris, CA ...Next to Murrieta.

Thanks look forward to learning from you.

Wes

Hi, I'm from Maryland and have recently acquired a 2013 wr144 soon to be 165. I dualsported/plated it for the occasional connection to the trail and just good ole hooliganism around town.
