I've been checking the site as I try to decide which bike to buy. I ride in Washington State (snotty roots, rocks and hills) and am looking to replace an XR250 -99. Want to get a bike with a plate but one that's light and has enough uumph to pull my sorry 180# up a steep hill at 5,000 FT. I have short inseam (30") and the XR fit very nicely with a 36" seat height.

Primary choice is a 2010 TE310...but $8k is a little scary/scarce right now.
Second choice is a 2009 TE 250 for $5.5k but it has the "old" motor and may not be powerful enough < Guess
Third is a 2010 TE 250 with the new light weight motor but if I'm gonna drop $8k shouldn't I get the 310?

The info on this site is a great resource.

Thanks

PS: Can't wait to show up my buddies and their orange bikes when I finally do decide.

Welcome to the site and to get a good answer to your questions you may want to ask it in the 4stroke section.

Welcome to CafeHusky, Grady

Hello everyone.. Bought a used 2006 Husky WR125 a little over a year ago.. Rode it for a few month and recently bought a used 2007 WR250 to try..
WR250 should be much better for me cause I am not the most aggressive rider.. And having had eye surgery a couple times with poor vision at best..
If I can't see the line I should take.. I should be able to recover easier on the WR250 (more bottom end) than on the WR125 (less the bottom end)..

The previous owner of the WR250 had pushed in the pipe that it was 1mm from one of the rad hoses.. This kind of bothered me so was ready to buy
a FMF Gnarly Pipe.. Having the dreaded Husky fever instead of buying just a pipe I bought a bike instead.. Also wanted to someday try a Motosportz
Steering Damper.. Got one with this bike.. Also got a Keihin 38mm Carb.. And for those long ride have a 3.4gal IMS Tank.. And for protection a Hyde
Skid Plate and Front and Rear Disc Guard.. Came with a few other things as well and also most of the stock oem stuff.. Not sure if I will sell this bike
after removing the bits and pieces I want.. Or refuse to take my meds and continue suffering the dreaded Husky fever.. Cheers everyone..

Do the meds really work? I only have one Husky in my garage but I've been really hankering for another...maybe I need a prescription! Welcome to the forum, Fat Tire Flyer, and be sure to post some photos of your bike(s) in the 2 stroke forum

Hi all,
Just joined the forum - better late than never I guess!
Proud '05 TE450 owner......only 2,000km's...

Cheers
Steve

Nice to have you here, SteveH

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.

CafeHusky welcomes you, Tighttwisties. I've not ridden the 310 or the 250, but bigger isn't always better. I'm sure the difference wouldn't be so great between the 250 and the 310, but I know I was faster and could ride harder for a longer period of time on my 250 than I could my 450. I'm sure there will plenty of opinions/answers to your questions, and we have a few Husky riders here from your neck of the woods, too

I'm new from Tacoma, just doing some digging on Husky and thought I'd introduce myself.

Hi

I've been viewing for about 2 years but never posted on the site. Started riding a DKW 125 (2 stroke, leading link front forks) in the early 70's. After a number of years off bikes for skiing, wife, children and work I am now riding again; but happily with more time and money for skiing, wife, children, work, bike, etc.

Sold my 07 TE 610 in January and got a new 09 TE 510 as it is more suitable to my needs. At 53, but with the mind of my youth, I'm just over half way there. So there's lots more riding to do on this great bike and my next husky.

Living on a property (farm) in Australia and next to a state forest, there's lost of great places to ride. I'm blessed, and my Husky just adds to that.

Stefan

Hello from Germany,

im driving a 510 SMR Model 2008. Bought it before 4 months. Makes lot of fun

 

[master62]

Hi everyone. I'm a old newbie in Central PA. Its been 34 years since I owned an MC. My last MC was a Penton 250. For you younger folks, John Penton imported KTM's into the USA and put his name on the MCs. In the interim, I have been riding/racing mountainbikes as well as whitewater kayaking ( Class 3 easy Class 4 rapids). I also raced bicycles in the National Senior Games for over 50 year old athletes.
I will be picking up my 2009 Husky 250 TE next week.
I am anxious to get back into riding. Its amazing to see all of the technology changes. Additionally I have received so much advice, help and knowledge from current bikers. Everyone is willing to share their expertise if asked.
Thanks for the site.

Hello everyone! This is my first post on Cafe Husky. I picked up my bike a few months back thanks to the folks here at this forum. I was able to find all the info I needed from all the great posts of those who know and love Husky's. After much research and a great dealership over at MFI, I decided to purchase an 09 TE450. I could not be any happier. Again, thanks to all for sharing their wealth of knowledge and experience about Husky's on this great forum.

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

I think it was the beginning of the new generation of husqvarna bikes 2001-2002

It looks like is a rare model, no one appears to know it.....

Hi everyone. I'm Dario from Genoa, Italy. I've got a 2007 SM610

 

[trailboss]

Hi everyone, trailboss here. I have a 2009 WR300 that I bought to try endurocross with. Use to race motocross on a RM250, but really like mountain riding and have started having fun with this new style of racing.

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



In 2001 single cam 4 stroke enduro models got a large revamp. Model designations were changed to reflect actual displacement more closely... TE400 and TE570. TE400 was only a 2001 model (I had one), TE570 was 2001-2004.

I'm glad you made it

Hey,

Never owned a motorcycle although I've ridden a bit and really like the idea of having a dual sport but realistically it will probably be ridden 50/50 on road/off road, if that. I like the idea of more exploring riding than single track so I don't think it will be too big of a deal. I like to do all the research before I get into something even though I mostly likely wont get a bike till after I graduate :/. I really like what I am seeing from Husky in the TE category although its not the only bike I'm been looking into but it is on top for sure.

Thanks,

New to forum & have rear wheel question.

I have a '96 WXE250 with very loose r. wheel bearings. The sprocket side bearing has a threaded retainer. Can anyone tell me if this is r h or l h threads? Thanks.

 

[electricbymike]

I'm new to the Husky bug but I like it! I just picked up a '95 wxe350 for a steal. Plan on going riding for the first time this weekend. Always had Jap bikes before when I was younger. Now I'm old and fat and just wanting to have a good time. Thank you all for sites like this and Thumpertalk

 

[baldnugget]

Hi! I'm new to the forum, but I just bought an '08 TE510 so I'm sure I'll be spending some time here. I'm looking to upgrade my bike with a 3.0 gal IMS tank and a Motosportz damper. Does anyone know if they are compatible?

 

[Cruiser]

New to this site,, been on most of the usual's,, saw it mentioned over at the GG forum and thought I'd check it out.. looking good.. Right now I have a vintage GG and an 03 KTM 625sxc,, but I'm always looking for more bikes for the stable. The newer husky 4strokes are on my short list.. Had a few huskys in the past and would love to have a white bike again!
