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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2010 TC250 turns into a 1-kick starter

This bike has always started on 1-3 kicks ...the ~latter at times but not a real issue with me as it always starts with a good kick-over ... So is this news worthy? Not really but the pic is good (I think) and its a little INFO on the life span of these once marque ITL made Husqvarna bikes ...

Clueless why, but my 010 TC250 Husky has turned into a 1-kicker starter on the last 2 rides. The bike was parked for ~2 weeks and really nothing happening with it but some plastic shuffling between bikes ... I got it out and it started first kick and it keep that attitude 2 days now. We'll see how long this lasts ...

This is the bike back in stock plastic pretty much ... ~240 hrs and still no oil usage ...probably down some on power but feels ok to me each ride. Suspension still feels a little stiff; I think it was valved for a rider slightly heavier than me. Feels fine to me with the clickers open. Always bounces straight ... Front wheel washouts are a thing of the past even with ~worn out tires ....

These bikes mesmerize me as did those mid, late model 70s CR models. Best to let this design survive so license or sell this engine and frame technology and let many others ride such a machine.

This is also the bike that came with the cam fix for my second 010 TC250 starting issue. Maybe this is a 'WonderBike'?
