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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2011 Husky 310Te Dirt rider review

I read a recent Dirt rider magazine review where they compared the KTM 200 exc, the 2011 Husky 310Te and a few other odd displacment motorcycles. They claimed that the 2011 KTM 200 with three gallons of gas weighed 238 lbs and that the 2011 Husky 310Te held three gallons of gas and weighed over 275 lbs. I thought the 2011 Husky 310Te weighed 233 lbs and held 2.2 gallons of gas. Gas weighs about 6 lbs per gallon, so full the Husky should have weighed in at about 246.2 lbs. Am I missing something or did DR magazine just get it wrong or the "official" Husky weight numbers just wrong. Anyone a 2011 Husky 310Te weighed their bike fueled up?

Wrong, my 2010 TXC250 weighed a lot less than 275 full. Heck my TE511 weighs 271 with a splash of gas.
 
So why don't one of you fine gentlemen write a letter to Jimmy Lewis pointing this out.... better yet, address it to Chris Green in a nice way. He seems to be the rider/writer over there that is actually warming up to Husky in general. It is good to see some positive reviews coming out of Dirt Rider....

It was a considerably better article than any from the past. It went into a lot more detail and with other than complaints about some brittle plastic (which is true) and that the bike is particular to where you are at in the powerband in relationship to gears ( again true ... I can attest to this after riding three laps on the SRA GP MX track at Glen Helen on the 2011 310 )

hands down the 310 is an amaxingly fun bike to ride... very fun, light weight and in general very powerfull... lots of fun!

Why doesnt some one weigh one first? I would be shocked if it was under 250lb's I bet it is closer to 270 than some would think. Maybe Iam wrong
 
I'd weigh mine, but I have zero faith in the accuracy of the one wheel at a time bathroom scale method.
