• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Sherco 2T & 4T 300's... quick test ride

Ha ha ha.
I took the time to ask the dealer if the Synerject system can be tuned, he said he thought so but hadn't looked into it himself. (As in a module or similar to tune with Yami power tuner style?!? He wasn't sure)

The current range of 4t are under 110kg plus fuel!!
That is lighter than even their own 2t :)

Yep!
My 300 is a bit heavier than the TE300 husky. Weight is carried low and well balanced, so all good.

I found a 2014 300cc enduro shootout... Husky, KTM, TM and Sherco.
It's given me some bragging rights
- fastest top end
- best in slow tech terrain
- no further points necessary :)

The article lists the Sherco as having 4cs forks but they are OC forks. It also said there's a back up kick starter but the North American importers say there isn't...either way, fun reading the article but where was the Beta? :).

I think it's funny that they mention the power of the motor because all US reviews nicely say it's down on power. Either way, it's quickly becoming my dream bike but I think I'll be hanging around Husky.
 
Well I just went and had a sit on the new 300se-r factory.

Weighs 105kg but feels way lighter than my SMR449. Even have little hand grab points under the fender to make lifting it easier.

Put my name down for a possible future ride day they are trying to organise. Soo keen! The only bit I didn't like was the shape of the front fender.

2014 Shercos here are running 4CS forks. All adjusters up top like Berg/Husky twins

Yeah I saw those errors but didn't mention them incase it took credibility away from my "fastest top end" bragging rights... :p
I'm convinced on the "slow tech riding" cred but not yet on the "fastest top end 300". In saying that, I've ridden exactly 2 x 300 smokers.
New mag here says 47hp in wild and 38hp in mild mode.
Another review here says the power may not be aggressive enough for some (referring to motocrossers).

The power is very linear and there is no huge hit so it could just be deceiving fast. :excuseme:
 
Quote (in ADB Sept2014) from Marc Tessier - Boss, Owner of Sherco

"... And it is not enough to make a bike that is good for production and to make money, we need to create excellence - I don't want to make a Renault Twingo, I want to make a Ferrari!..."
:applause:

Renault Twingo = a mass-produced buzz box
Ferrari = a Ferrari!
 
Stock Michelin Enduro rubber is probably the worst tyres I've had on a bike, mine haven't worn in 300klms and skate all over the shop.
Will be getting them off ASAP (said that 3 weeks ago :D)

Absolutely shocking rubber.

+1 - The TE had the same horrid tyres on it. The knobs broke off the case, the ones that stayed would not wear at all.
 
So can you all get a back up kick starter there like the article said? I really couldn't care less about it but that seems to hold a lot of people back from it.

Not that I know of.
Dude that wrote the article might have been confused with husaberg ... 4cs and retro kicker on "blue bike"
