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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Welcome snocompton. Do you have a Husky or just thinking of getting one?

I've been viewing for about 2 years but never posted on the site.
Sold my 07 TE 610 in January and got a new 09 TE 510 as it is more suitable to my needs.

Welcome Stefan of Oz. It's never to late to join. Good choice on Huskys.:thumbsup:
Like to see some pics of the trails you ride when you get a chance.

I am anxious to get back into riding.

Welcome master62. Once you get your TE you'll have to give us a ride report on her.:thumbsup:

Welcome trailboss. Have you entered any endurocrosses yet? When will the next one be?

ddowdy;60274 said:
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.

Welcome to Cafe Husky ddowdy. If you have very little experience on riding, I would stay away from the bigger bore machines. They can be a handful at the best of times. I would suggest the TE250 or TE310. Both are still lots of bike though. You might even consider joining a local club or get some professional training if you are thinking on getting your motorcycle licenses. Keep us informed on how things go for you.:thumbsup:

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.

Welcome revit. You could start a post in the 2 stroke section and start a new thread about your back wheel if you would like. You would get a lot better response that way. Where from Canada are you from?

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

Welcome to Cafe Husky electricbymike. We try not to use the TT would around here...:D Naa just kidding.

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?
Click to expand...

Welcome baldnugget. The IMS larger tank fits but the tank shrouds will not fit the new tank. I believe Kelly @ Motosportz has addressed the damper issue as well.

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..

Another Newbe

Hi all,

I have just joined the Husky community. I currently own and ride 2 Husky's. I have an 04 TC450 and a 99 WR250. I am an older guy so just use my bikes in the woods for casual trail riding. My competitive days (Enduro/MX) have long since past. I also did some road racing and retired from that in 2005. I currently ride a Triumph Rocket III Touring on the road and also am in the process of restoring an original 1970 Triumph chopper.

I do like my Husky's and wish I had more time to spend riding them. Unfortunately, work interferes with my social life. I am looking forward to participating on this forum! :thumbsup:
 
Hi I,m new to this forum I just bought a 2009 TE250
This is a great site for husky info. I will be doing some modification to the bike one of the first things will be lowering it.
I plan on using Kouba links to take it down 1"and lower the front forks just wondering if anybody has experienced any handling problems at higher speeds with similar modifications
Thanks Chico
 
Greetings!

Found out about this site over at Thumper Talk.
I rode enduros in the 70's, but never could afford a Husky back then. A few years ago I found a fixer-upper '82 430XC, then another bike for parts, then another, etc. So now I've got a variety (XC's, AE's, WR) of 80's big bores (430's & 500's) at different stages of restoration.
My street ride is an '02 DL1000 V-Strom.
 
Hi all!

I just bought my first Husky, a 2009 TE250, from Scott at Ross Rocher Sales in Stratford, Ontario. I'm just getting back into riding after about an 11 year break. Can't wait to get back into the dirt!
 
HI,

Mike here from Woodinville near Seattle. Running a '07 TE610 with IMS, Dirtbagz, LV X3 pipe, jetted (45, 180, red needle 4th clip), Acerbis Cyclops headlight and D908s. Just put on a XPC Racing modified seat.

Acquired mine used, beginnning of October, with 2900 miles on it. Ride single track and forest roads on the weekends, and commute 44 miles RT each work day on one of the bikes.

Also share seat time with a '08 KLR650 and an '07 Royal Star Venture for travels with the navigator.

I am also a ham radio operator focused on weak signal VHF and microwave. I have rigged up my KLR650 with 100W radio equipment on VHF bands for contesting on mountain tops.

Heading to Death Valley in February and Moab in April, maybe see some of you there.

- Mike

hello

Hi Coffee,
Thanks for the introduction.
I live in West Australia and have just bought a new 2009 TE450 around a month ago and thought this looked like a good place to catch up with other husky owners.

cheers
