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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

  • 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Austria - About 2014 & Newer

TE/TC 17 TE 150

Well, I've been logging lots of miles on the '14 300 lately and it works so well I just may wait another year. In fact, it works so well that I just feel greedy wanting a new bike. For now I think I'll follow the development of the new platforms and maybe think about an '18. Loving' this thread, though...

Yes, I see your point cause I wouldn't mind a 250 2 stroke.

Thanx on compliments and from others as well.
 
I emailed Scalvini.

Said there pipe is smooth on bottom like stock then comes on around mid and more top end.

They also said to combine it with their shorty if I want more bottom and overall power.

Kinda sounds maybe like FMF fatty and shorty combo?

Their shorty is carbon fibre and real light but it's pricey! Might put less stress though on composite sub frame?

That chamber looks awesome, but knowing me, itd be dinged up and dented in no time.. Fatty & shorty sounds good, have you considered the gnarly?
 
Kinda a cool pic that race photographer took.

I took my float height to 9mm

But also have my carb bowl nut mod already done.

Basically you are drilling 4 small holes in bottom of float bowl above the oring where it seals when you tighten nut.

Then once nut is tighten and marked with a punch for alignment.

You take a pick and mark nut through 4 holes you drilled.

Then remove your nut and drill through nut where you marked so holes align.

Makes sure you alway have fuel down by main jet.

Surprised the bowl nut isn't drilled already. This seems to be something they used to do, but musta stopped.

Yes, they used to on older Tmx. I'm surprised they didn't do it on the newer carb.

I will probably get a deeper bowl nut this winter.
 
I rode one two days ago.

Impressions

Light as a feather
Suspension has never been touched and worked really well, was nice in the rock and not too soft in the whoops (I weigh 190 lbs). Xplor forks didn't beat me up and the rear stayed planted.

Handling was not twitchy like my KTM's.

Real bad flat spot going into the upper mid but other than that I was very impressed.
Talk about an engine with no vibration :D

I wish I had one.
 
Had good time racing today and jetting is almost spot on.

Ran really crisp through the tight woods, with crisp acceleration all way up top.

Husky guy said bike sounded really awesome.

So here is a tribute to Charles Bronson an old Husky guy!

Bike ran flawless****************************************! Problem is : other riders brought two too many, of them other brand bikes!

Maybe I missed this here, but on the KTM Talk 150XC-W thread, they have been talking about PV springs and seem to like Blue best. None (No Color) is standard spring. Part numbers for different springs...
PV Springs
Green 5483 7072 100
Yellow 5463 7072 300
Blue 5463 7072 500
Red 5483 7072 000
None 5043 7069 050
 
Good find Norm!

My manual only says that two are available?

Standard and yellow? But standard, yellow and red are available for 250+.

I would think the red and blue makes the powervalve, even open faster?

I may have to play around a lil but don't know if I can get close to my carb response/combination with yellow spring.

Right now, I'm building carb number two based on my other one. I need a micro sized drill bit, smaller than a paper clip and can't remember the size I need. I know I wrote it down, but who knows where I put it and can't find the bit?
