  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 lowering suspension?

So a friend of mine wants to buy a used 2011 TXC 250 for his 14 year old son and I was wondering if anyone has installed the TE 250 lowering kit on a TXC? Not even sure it could be done or if the parts are available. He is on a CRF150 now but will have a tough time grabbing dirt with his feet if he went with the TXC. TIA
 
Yes, it can be done.

The factory short kit is just spacers under the damper rods for the forks and shock.

There was/is a rear lowering link for sale on ebay recently.

The forks can be dropped in the clamps a bit or lowered by a suspension guy for like $150.

You can buy a Husky low seat for it too.
 
better off connecting with one of many reputable suspension shops that can perform the task, rather than trying to source the parts through whats left of the OEM inventory. Almost all of the big suspension shop have suspension shortening services Precision concepts, Factory connection, race tech, suspension 101 etc etc etc.
 
I got the bike home, lowered the forks in the triples about 12mm and my son is on his tippy toes. I bought a 1 1/2" Koubalink and now I'm reluctant to install it. Thoughts?
 
It's up to your son. If he is comfortable with it as is then I would prefer max suspension but it all revolves around how comfy the rider is with the whole foot to ground relationship.
 
We installed it. It took only five minutes. It puts his feet on the ground well, on his toes but not tippy. We have some riding to do but it's slick out. Maybe this weekend will bring drier weather.
 
I'm feeling you there. Mine is addicted too but with some careful prodding I can usually get him motivated. With the rain we had yesterday he may have done you a favor.
 
We had a blast today. It was local on an unfinished sub division but he loves his Husky. Even with the cold, he had a great time. I'm hoping this will be the new year of riding. The Koush link is perfect and the lowering of the fork tubes makes it handle just like normal.
