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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

08 WR 250 vs 09 TXC 250

I currently ride an 08 WR 250 that is set up perfect. Love it!!! With the good deals on leftover TCX 250's I was thinking of buying one. How do they compare in handling and power ? I know the TCX is slower but how much slower? They are comparable in weight. I mostly ride enduros in the B class. Would it be dumb to switch to the TCX? The electric start is appealing as is the 6 speed for the faster courses. Always looking for 6th gear on the 250! Help me out! I have never ridden a 250 4 stroke before.
Thanks
 
IMHO the TXC handles better. The WR has an awesome motor. If you like your WR you might just want to stick with it. The TXC is a lot different feeling especially if you don't ride 4 strokes. You will think it is very slow even though you can fly on it if you know how. Some guys have a hard time going from a 2 to a 4 stroke some not so much. You might want to get some miles on any 250F and see what you think.
 
I went from an 07 WR250 to an 08 TE450 to an 09 TXC 250.

The TXC is my favorite of the bunch, but I liked the WR too.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the power of the TXC. Not as fast as the WR, but enough that it is fun and more than enough power for almost any situation you come across in this part of the world.

I can ride the TXC longer wiithout getting tired, but never getting the forks of the WR really dialed in was probably the reason.

At the end of the day, if your WR is well set up and you like it there is probably not a lot of justification for switching.
