• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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, I am from Lodi, Ca and a "B" Senior D-36 & AMA Member. Ok, don't shoot me just yet. My current ride is a GasGas EC200 which I race both Enduro's and Cross Country. I have been lurking around here for a few weeks now and thought it might be a good time to join. Do I own a Husky???? Let's just say a WR125 is looking really good in my future!

Thanks
 
New Member Intro

I'm Mike, I ride a 1998 TE410 that I bought new in the fall of 1998 at Good Times in Sacramento, CA.

I've been riding this bike off and on since then, including some racing in the D36 Enduro and CC races back in '99 & '00.

I now live in Eugene, OR but don't ride as much as I used to.

Hey, my name is aran johnson. I work @ eddies vintage motorcycles in swanzey nh. we are a husky dealer and I own a few, 08TC450, 76 CR250, 84 TE510. All great bikes. lots of great info here, thanks.
 
Hi, I'm down in OZ. I have had a TE450 for a while, I didn't like it that much, being more of a 2 stroke person. So the TE has been traded for a WR250. I also have a 78 IT175 sitting in the shed that I have had for 22 years. Thanks for having me here.

Welcome Cooky. How do you like the WR-250.
 
Hello, new in here, I’m thinking on buying a TE570 in the next month, I was looking for some information about and it seems to be a good choice, what do you think about the bike?

I was also wondering how difficult is to find parts for it? I have been looking around and appears that the TE570 have not too much aftermarket parts for it, it’s possible to fit other model parts (maybe 510 or 610) to the T570 for example plastics, pistons?

How difficult is to maintain it? How expensive are parts for husqvarnas compare to other brands (Honda, Yamaha).

Thanks for your help

Jeff
 
Hello, newbie, never owned a Husky, decided I 'd better get with the program before it's too late. Considering a 250/310 TE or TXC, figured this would be a good place to get real world assessment. Just lurking for now, will chime in if I can think of anything intelligent to say. That could take quite awhile.

Welcome to Cafe Husky JMasi. I wasn't aware Husky made a TE 570. Is this some displacement from a previous year?

Welcome jongrant. TE would be a good choice if you are thinking on maybe someday plated your bike. A TXC would be better if you are just off road.

Hello, I have parked this 81' XC 250 in my garage for years (15 or so) and I decided to finally get after it and get it running. I have enjoyed looking at it.
I was looking around for a manual and some parts and came across this sight. Looks as if there are questions about this project they could be answered here.
