• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Will be testing the 2010 TXC250 and 390 berg soon...

It will be interesting to see if there is any difference in the frames and motors other than the trannys and lights between the different models like there is for the 08/09 TE,TC and TXC 's.
 
Nice review. That's really interesting that it feels lighter then Adams bike. I WR250 is a heavy 2t but still seems light compared to the thumpers I have been on. It sounds like the major thing I don't like about thumpers has been addressed.

Did you get a chance to see what it can take before it boils over? Does it flame out very easy?

It is good to hear the fuel injection works so well, as it should. What is up with the Husky FI systems. Is it Mikuni vs Keihin?

Did not boil over on long hill climbs in 75-85 degree weather, neither was anyone else that day though. Flame out? No such thing. When I say it runs PERFECT, I mean it. It is a central feature of this bike IMHO. the 450 and 570 run perfect as well. They have the EFI dialed.
 
The FE450 I swung a leg over at Tasky's felt every bit as heavy as a TE450. Are you sure that thing is only 251 pounds? I bet it is closer to 260 like the TE450. Most of the newer bikes feel plenty light to me while riding it is when loading into the truck or dragging it up the side of a hill I notice the weight. In that situation, all 4 strokes are too heavy. Now that new TE250 may break this tradition . . .
