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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I'm sure this has been covered before but here goes...
Does anyone have experience using Lucas Oil (full synthetic) for racing conditions?
What oils do you recommend?
How often do you change the oil out?
What hour meter is good and unobtrusive?
We are switching from racing 2 strokes to 4 strokes for next year, so I'm a little out of my element.
We are looking for oil sponsors and Lucas Oil has sent us an offer.
As always, Thanks!
 
The TXC comes with an hour meter I think? I may be wrong there. I change mine after 8 hours since it only holds .95 quart. Oil is a personal thing. I was running Castrol motorcycle racing 10/50 but now am running Mobile 1 0w40 euro car oil and it works good. I use Lucas semisyn in my XT1200 and like it.
 
I use Rotela T in my 2 strokes and change it every other time or every time I ride since it's so cheap. On my 4 strokes I have ran Amsoil which was fine but I got a bunch of squeal out of my rekluse until I switched to Royal Purple which seemed to work really well been hooked ever since.

I've been running the $35-$40 Moose wired hour meter lately and have been real happy, I dont trust the wireless ones yet.

All things considered I know a guy who has over 8,000 miles on a KDX200 and it has lived on Walmart 2 stroke oil since the beginning with out being rebuilt. I'm sure most oils today are comparable in how well they protect.
 
The only hour meter that will work is a GET type one that operates off of engine frequency/resonance to accumulate run time. The Keihin equipped Husky's have a coil pack on the plug lead, so no trigger wire to tap onto. It's not the most accurate but it will give you a much better idea then tying to keep track of it in your head.

There is an hour meter feature built into the stock ECU, however you need the Husqvarna Dealer service tool to hook up to the bike and see it.
 
I just installed a Hardline wired hourmeter on my 13 txc310. It was easy to install and has instructions on how to install on a stick type coil. Piece of cake.
