  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Txc 250 First Ride Impressions...and Tuner Help.

I'm currently on the 6 hour drive home from nc after the first ride on my new husky. First thing I learned is how much it sucks breaking in a 250f! The bike came to me with the green sticker stuff removed, 12 point injector and jd tuner. I set the sag and off I went. I was amazed at how well the bike handled. I can off a ktm 350 with suspension work and never could get the front wheel to feel good in turns. It seems to have decent power for as much as you can tell in breaking it in. Suspension felt pretty good in the woods but way soft on mx with the forks making a loud clanking noise in protest. The jd tuner was set to the recommended settings but the bike ran horrible down low. After messing around with the settings I ended up leaning the first two settings and it got better but not 100% fixed. Any suggestions on where you guys have them set? My current setting are in the back of my van behind the dividing wall so I'll post them later. All in all I'm really happy and surprised with how well the bike works and can't wait until I can really hammer on it. Let me know if any of you have got that bottom end stumble cleaned up and how you did it. Thanks
 
Have you considered getting the '12 ECU box?

I'm assuming you're running Green 4, Yellow 4/5, Red 3, Green/Blue 5, Yellow/Blue, 3, Red/Blue 5. Not sure if those settings will hold true with the 12 point installed.

With the '12 TXC 310 ECU and 12 point in my '11 TE 310, the setting are all at 4 (stock/bypass) with the COs at 100 and it RIPS. My shop did a lot of work when I first got it and dialed out the stumble but is was still cursed with a lack of oomph down low--now it just pulls, pulls, pulls. Put it this way, with the improved ignition curve and fuel mapping of the '12 ECU, second gear on my 310 went from wet noodle to beefy whereas before it was, clutch, clutch, clutch if I let the revs drop much below about 5000.
 
I also ride a 2011 TXC 250 and initially had the same complaints. Like most other Huskies, it take a while to break it in.Plus the 250 is not a lugger.

Here's what I did and could not be happier, bike now rips... Added the 12 point injector, used friends Ibeat to recalibrate TPS, set co1 to 90, co2 to 100, co3 to 100 and set the JD tuner to the following settings: Gr/2, Y 4/5, R 5, G/B 3, Y/B 3/4, R/B 5 . Also, I am close to sea level. Hope this helps.

WOW, those setting are REALLY lean. I'm pretty sure that the JD tuner assumes that everything is a 100. I could be wrong but if your CO1 is at 90, then you lean it out two whole positions with the JD unit, it would put your CO1 at 70
 
I think with leaning the first two settings it'll be good. I never rode the bike stock so it could be a lot better than stock and I'd never know. I'm pretty sure even before leaning it a little it could be clutched out of it and be fine but with just breaking it in I didn't want to do that. I'm gonna do some research on the 12 ecu box and some of the other suggestions. Thanks for the help. I'm heading to ga to ride in a week so I'll see how it works with some more time on the motor and actually ride it like a 250f needs to be ridden.
 
What is the difference between the suspension from the TXC and TE? It seems all the rest is the same.

Here in our country the land is pure rocks and also only trailers.

What is the recommendation that you could give me or any tips for this decision.

IMHO the TE open chamber forks are FAR better off road for the stuff you describe. Softer and much more forgiving and way better in the chop and rocks/roots. If your a fast hard charging dude on more open stuff the twin chambers can be better.
