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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2007 Te 450 Engine Question

Husqvarna
AA Class
Ok so my new to me 07 te 450 has 4600 miles on her,, the PO only used the bike to trail ride.
But other than i have no knowledge of what maintenance was done other than the oil is fresh and there is black rtv on the rocker cover and the air filter was new. So i'm assume the valves have been checked. The bike runs nice no smoke runs well and no strange vibrations. But with this mileage is it worth rebuilding the engine yet as my main concern is the big end if or when it may fail.

Do i have to use OEM mains Or can i use any 6306 C3 bearings like SKF or FAG

im just wondering what evryones take is on this.
 
IMHO 4600 miles is too soon to be worried about a rebuild of any sort, unless you are just one of those extremely OCD types, you would proably just be wasting you money.
 
over 10000km with PO. I put over 50 hours on this season and other than regular maintenance and a spring and fall valve adjustment....no rebuild yet. Starts just looking at the starter button and looking forward to testing the Kold Kudder ice screws on trail and ice this weekend****************************************
 
almost 17000 miles on my TE450, still no noises from the engine, power is down just a little, I plan to take it to 20000 miles.
 
Thanks guys for all the advice and help. If she lives as long as OHR's Husky ill be a happy man.
 
Curious...how has the bike been? I went "OCD" and put the bike in for a top end rebuild. In this process, th the temperature sensor broke..guess what..I have a Euro3 model which makes finding a replacement for this...a challenge ;) I hope to keep this rig alive for a good couple of years as a bike that is road legal to get to/from trail is hard to find here and I can't pull the trigger on a new one....yet ;)
 
Thankfully the bike as been fine apart from a few niggling issues, the clutch started to slip at 5000 miles so a new genuine husky clutch pack and springs where fitted. mine is also a euro 3 model. and all ive done is remove the evap pump and block up the hole in the inlet manifold and she runs perfect.
Now the rear shock is off for service and and repair after the compression adjuster started to leak nitrogen. I really like this bike and wish id had got one before now instead of owning a 300 pumpkin.
