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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Where to get parts

My 2012 TE 310 has been at the dealer for nearly five months waiting on a starter gear and starter motor. How does this company stay in business without providing repair parts for their bikes?
 
...thank KTM...you're not the only one that has had recent parts supply problems. The rumor is that they are sourcing out to another supplier for starter parts. Try calling a few Husky dealers around neighboring states... I refuse to use Palmetto Motosports in Florida and I use Central Jersey Cycles and Bob has helped me out tremendously.Give him a try,it can't hurt 732-443-4465.
 
Sorry ADV you got snookered into this but just sell it and count it as a lifes' learning event. Forget that kick starter also, word in this cafe is no parts. No resale either due to no parts and just poor quality bikes :( .. Its a boat anchor really ... The bike is heavy enough to stop a big boat ship from floating off is about its' best selling point.

Just sell it and get a bike you can ride. Waiting 5 months is not even comprehensible to me and you need relief by now. These EU bikes are not for every one ... There is a reason the Japan bikes are everywhere.

PS -- This company is not in business. Ktm purchased the rights to the name husqvarna last yr after bwm got a few yrs from the name. They can put that name on a can of pork&beans and sell it, I guess.
 
What i heard is that KTM will order parts from the old Husky source but they will not be fulfilled until they have enough to produce to make a run economical.

I also heard this can be the case with other makes on older bikes but Huskies suffer a bit more from their lower numbers
 
This is a plain and simple decision by KTM to screw older husky owners, they must think we will never buy another new bike. They would be partially right I probably would not buy a new KTM built bike by any name tag. They are choosing to slow parts delivery or just not bother with them at all. I have been waiting for several husky parts for quite a while now and some are probably limited run but some are also large run and high demand made by well known manufacturers that probably could deliver in a week to KTM if they choose to order.
