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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

It was a '16 TC125. It is essentially the same frame as yours but it doesn't have the mounting nuts in the frame at the front. The 14-16 TE's will be different.
Now I had my Shoulder done on Wednesday and I am still in lala land with pain killers. Won't be riding again for at least 2 months and probably 4-6.
Thanx Walt!
You gonna be sore for while but you should be able to go get some riding in afterwards.

If I didn't like this bike sooooo much. I sure wouldn't have invest the time or money into it.
But gotta say! They nailed this bike......
Couple flaws but that is in every bike.

Been screwing around with bleeding my back brake. For life couldn't figure out if I had air in darn thing or not.
Completely cleaned everything and inside of master, caliper etc.... My adjuster was way off from movement of pedal.
Ha! I had the adjuster bolt in backwards. The head of bolt goes towards frame instead of threads.
Wish would of figure that out hours ago........
Can't say I had a screw loose but the screw was screwing with me!

I DNF'd an enduro in one mile, on my 12 Husaberg TE250 when it was weeks old..... The rear brake locked up solid on it, in the grass track off the start control. I had to pry back the pads with the screwdriver in my butt pack, to get the bike to move. I rode back to my van and hoped to get them figured out. I decided to open the bleeder and fluid shot 10 feet! Then I couldn't get them to come back. I was frustrated and in tears, trying to bleed them and I couldn't get them to work. First reset was back at the start and every one warned me not to go out without a rear brake, as it was muddy and lots of downhills. I loaded up and headed home, feeling sick. I stopped to have a friend who is a great mechanic look at it and he was stumped. I finally figured out it was caused by there being no lock nut on the pedal adjuster bolt. It adjusted the pedal down too far. My friend and I were used to Italian Husky cam style pedal adjusters and it just wasn't on our radar. The brakes couldn't get bled, because the limited movement of the piston, wouldn't let the fluid by in the MC. I added the nut, adjusted the bolt correctly and bled it.... all fixed!

Norm,
That's kind of a good lesson. Bad for you but if I run into the same. It gives us an idea what to look for.
Nothing worse than having no back brake.
I think Mr Bean should help out and lend a VForce????? Sounds like he is down for while!
Teasin Walt! Hope to get mine next week.
Want to get this fired up!
Yeah, too bad we are like spread out in US. Be fun to go riding.
Prob could learn some things as well from u.

Tried the rktek head today and without jetting changes it magically cleared up the off idle burbles and no loading up in tight woods!! Running 480main 43/74 needle and 27.5 pilot and its pretty nice except for a lean spot just under half throttle. No difference in top end (at least that i can tell) but nice grunt down low and mid great buy for $150

That was a great video and a great race, congrats on the trophy. Obviously your skill got you there but what is your tire choice for those gnarly conditions?

That lean spot could be in the powervalve adjustment or could be the hit in that step needle.
See difference in my needles?
The one on left is stock. What happens is it hits that spot and bam!
One on right is just fast get r done with no hit.

Is that a needle you bought or is it one you machined to your specs? Are those two slides the same?

The slide on left is 4 one on right is 6
That needle there is one I made for my preference.
It is really rich and going to try to mate it with a 5.5 or 5.75 slide yet.
On my bike the 6 runs too hot.
I still have some piddling to do this spring and testing to get the max out of bike.
