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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My boy is a casual rider on his TTR 90 (68 lbs almost 5 ft). My co worker is selling this bike that I know has never been raced and I think properly maintained. This would be his first experience with a real clutch.

Is this a decent trail bike ? I want to go 2 Stroke for weight. Don't know how much bottom these things have. What do you guys recommend ? KX, RM ?
 
Hey Kevin from what a friend has told me the KTM are fast but they are made for racing annd need/require top end care often. My grandson ride a KX65 in the trails and he does very well with it. I got it used and after a few hours we had to do top and bottm ends. Since then (about 20 hrs) its been fine. It too is very peaky on the power delivery. I don't think any will have much bottom end to be honest. Have you thought about the TTR125's? A few club members kids ride them and they seem to do very well even when they lap our MX track. I do hear you on the 2-stoke lighter thing I will be going through the same thing with my grandson after his 65 plays out.
 
Thanks John :thumbsup: maybe I'll just stick with the 90 for a while longer. I also have a friend with a CRf 80 which might work better...
