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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2014 Husqvarna TC250r - Just Purchased!

New to the club, just picked up the bike BRAND NEW!!! Friend purchased it, never used it and ended up giving it away. Took it out after doing break in and I am blown away. But I am struggling with some hot start issues which seem to be relatively common and working on the suspension.

Any mod recommendations or things to watch for would be greatly appreciated.
 
Kick start only right?

They are a good bike. Handle great.

It will start easier when it breaks in.

Suspension is stiff when new too.

The one I rode had sag all out of wack for my 200#.

Keep oil clean and ride!

Welcome; They are great bikes. Advice from a guy who owned one. Get a Pc t/5 exhaust, really wakes them up. If kick start gets stuck rock it back and forth to free it up. It does not get stuck often but when it does dont force it or you will bust the gears inside. These bikes start very easy. I always put the kick start at 3/4 after tdc. Starts first kick almost every time. Do not over tighten the 3 bolts that hold the oil filter or you will strip them out. 1 more thing if you get a oil leak after changing the filter it means o-ring is flat replace it. Get to know BMP a sponsor on this site they are pretty good. Use this site for questions, a lot of good advice hear. Remember only dumb question is the one you did not ask.
 
That and clutch rubbers on back of basket are suspect.
they disintegrate after a while.

ZipTy has the fix.
 
I have heard about this clutch rubber issue here and there for quite a while but have 100 hours on my 2013 with no known issues.

But, if the rubbers were failing, what are the tell tail signs and where does one usually find the rubber peices in the motor?

It is easy to tell.
If your clutch starts rattling when it is cold, the rubbers are failing.

It appears Husky changed suppliers on the rubbers around 2011. All the 2010 clutch baskets I've seen or ridden on have been fine. The new ones seems to chatter...some a lot.

If you end up needing a kit, I bought two and only need one.
