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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ahoy. Tying to figure out some fan issue. Posting in the 4 stroke forum to see about solutions. Been riding ten years. Ten best years of my life.
 
Hi everyone! My name is Johnny Lehti and i´ve been reading and writing on this great forum for a few months now. I´m 44 years old and live in Gothenburg, Sweden. I´m running my own Fitness Centre where i work with personal training, massagetherapy, and nutrition. I also take care of all my nice instructors:D! I bought a new WR 300 just before new year and i ride mostly on weekends with my friends who all ride KTM´s, but someday they will get well i hope:p! I rode Husky 125 XC when i was 17 which was the best bike you could have in those days. Real worldclass, never missed a beat! I really enjoy this forum. It gives me a lot. Lot of nice people to talk to, and a lot of knowledge! Huskys are not that common here now, but the dealers sell more then expected now, so i really hope they will be seen more here in the future! Well, that´s about it from me!

Johnny.
 
Hi I'm Luke and am searching for information on Huskys on the web because there is no dealer in my state :( Hopefully you guys can help me out with my bike decision!
 
Hi guys, great site! I'm from East coast of Australia, curent ride is an 09 Te 510. She shares the shed with an 07 CRF450 and an 08 CRF250. I've previously owned an 04 TC450, a crazy weapon, and an 05 TC 510, even more ridiculous! Had a great run out of those two Husky's, so when thinking of my new enduro/desert racer it wasn't hard to talk myself into new TE510, and loving it!

Competed in Finke in 08, www.finkedesertrace.com.au and lining up for Condo 750 www.condo750.com.au at Easter on the 510.

Looking foward to learning from the people on this site!
 
Hello all!!

New to the Husky thing. Have been riding most of my life but for some reason never on a Husqvarna. Looking forward to getting to know this brand and all of you. I do most all my own work on my bikes so I will be needing lots of help from you guys/gals to get past that initial learning curve.

I will be picking up an '08 610 on Saturday morning. :applause:

Great to find this place!
I'm Oscar Booker in NE AZ. I've only been riding for a little over five years and finally jumped into vintage racing last season, riding a '76 Elsinore 250. I've seen the error of my ways and decided to press forward with the semi-resto of my '75 Husky CR250 to race. I do also have a '85 250XC and a ?? 500 Husky of some kind (a real project, that one).

Good to be here!
 
A little late, but finally arrived at the party…. Long time member of TT (and still) with focus on the Husky forums…

Born and raised here in San Diego, CA… and been riding for 25 years or so.

I’m a loyal supporter of the Husqvarna brand and have enjoyed many years of awesome support from all of the Husky guru and gear-heads out there! I’m happy that a site like this is up and running and hopefully it will continue to turn out well and prove to be a hotspot for all the Husky fans.

I hope this is where I'm to introduce myself.
Despite being old and unpleasantly arthritic, I picked up a fine-looking '09 TE 250 today. Which has me smiling. I last rode a Husky in enduros in the late '60s (whenever I was straight). My first ride on the '09 will be in Moab in March. Seems I need tools and a place to put them. A Fredette riders wrench, for instance, but I don't know the size of the sparkplug (17mm? 19mm?). Thinking of a FastBoy front fender bag from Dirt-Bike-Gear (I don't want anything on the rear fender). And a small Wolfman tank bag. Any 10W-60 oil recommendations would be appreciated.
Winter in MN is lasting forever this year.
I'm also a Luddite and could use a bit of help understanding how to use a forum.

Hi

I am too old for a 1983 CR500 but thought I would give it a go.

Need to rebuild engine now before new season and was trying to post a thread.

Site seems to not let me do it.

Any clues please.

Neil
 
Welcome everyone! :thumbsup:

Please enjoy the site :cheers:

How do I reply to a particular post? When I hit "Quick" at the lower right of a post, does the site know to which post I am replying? It seems to open a window like this one at the bottom of the page with no referent to the post #. Please be kind, I'll get it eventually.
And does anyone know what size wrench fits my '09 TE 250 sparkplug (so I can order the correct Fredette riders wrench). I have nothing that reaches it so I can't measure it.
Thanx
Bert

You have accessed the situation correctly. If you click on the 'quick' button it will let you submit a post, but that will not quote someone elses post.

You need to click on the 'quote' button of the bottom right hand side of the post you want to quote. There are other ways, but let's stick to the basics for the moment.
 
Hi, my name is Keith I've been a lurker for over six months and i finally joined. I ride a 09 smr510r that i bought in oct and love the thing. I come from a mx backround and have been riding sport bikes for the past six years.I like this site because it's all about husky and the people here are crazy about them. I will be racing the local supermoto events this summer and i'm trying to get the beast ready for the track as we speak. Can't wait for the snowballs to gone and the green grass to grow!!!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I recently purchased a 1988 WR 430. I'm currently in the need of an owners/shop manual. If anyone can help me in locating one I would greatly appreciate it.

All the best,
