• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 TE250 Engine Locked Up Needs Rebuild

Looks like the bottom end needs rebuild, any trusted shop recommendation in Socal? The bike has 4000 dirt miles, the bike purchased brand new from Malcom Smith back in 2011. I removed the starter and the top end to inspect and it looks normal. I'd like to tackle this project if couldn't find the shop, anyone has done this and any advised? I have successful replaced the top end on the TE510 FI before.
 
Don't know where you are at, but Motoforza in Escondido has really a good service department and technicians.
 
Update!
Motoforza referred to Ron Bishop in Escondido, I called RB and they said parts are back order and no ETA.
I called and talked to Jay at Hall Cycle and they agreed to work on the x-lite motor, looks like they can get parts for it.
 
If you have done a top end, youlll make the rest easy. Get yourself a motor stand like this.

I have something similar. This is expensive but if you look around youll find them under $100. To do an engine like new isnt that hard. Just take it easy. If you miss a tool, make it or borrow it. Dont try to solve anything with bad/wrong tools. If you do it yourself ot will cost you max $500. That includes EVERYTHING, piston, camchain, clutch plates and even new bearings for the crank. Youll get a better engine for $500 than you will have of you pay $1000 to a bike shop .

I guess Motoforza doesn't want to work on the old Italian models anymore.:confused::(
