TE/TC 2015 TE125

[racemx904]

I'm sure testing the market.... I will find a 200 somewhere and throw it in there....

I find it hilarious that after all he years of everyone wanting a husky 200 and building the Italian motor to a 177 and with.the platform sharing saving that is going on why the owners of Husqvarna don't make a 200 Te.......and not sure why or how the 125 is hardly.a steal of a deal. Keep the numbers low and the price high I guess...

I think part of no TE200 is... Since there is no KTM 200XC with linkage, a Husky TE200 would put a real hurt, on KTM 200XC-W/EXC PDS bike sales. I'm more surprised... that with KTM dropping the 150XC from the US Market, that they didn't come through with a with a TE150.

Laugh all you want, but I want to be on a straight up enduro 125 this coming season and I don't mind it not being a fire sale price. Also... I want it now, so it's all dialed in for the enduro season in the Spring. I bought my '12 Husaberg TE250 in May and got a discount, but that didn't make up for the butt ache of setting it up while trying to race.

That linkage part makes sense. I also thought it would be a 150 as well. I do think a Te 200 would sell. Only time will tell the direction it all goes! I have raced 125s many times. But will not lie I prefer the 144 much much more for many reasons. A small bore is a great weapon. And ironically there is this big hill. Big. Having attempted it on every size bike possible the only time I ever made it was on 01 fbf Husqvarna 125....who would of thought....and while my double a buddy was stuck on another hill with his KTM 250. I railed right by him on a 144..... its simple very simple and not rocket science. Never never let off the gas...if that engine isn't pinned your going home empty handed (no trophy) at least in a class...

John that sounds nice! I worked on my bike this afternoon, in the driveway.... 25F, single digit windchill. You just put your long underwear on and do it. We'll be riding and racing all winter... one series just started and another in two weeks. Trail ride before work? Probably not, as it usually pretty cold right around sunrise. We usually take lunch break around 2, when the sun is high and knock out some miles and go back to work.
I'll be riding on the frozen lake too. We don't hide in the Winter... We ride!

I'm a;ready planning my te200.....

 

[Norman Foley]

Dealer received my TE125 today. With Thanksgiving Holiday and busy work schedule this coming week, it will be next Friday before I can pick it up. It's going to be a long week for sure....

 

[troy deck]

DANG HOLIDAY

 

[Norman Foley]

Started ordering parts for the TE125.... Flexx bars, TM Designs chain guide, Enduro Engineering hand guards, radiator guards, spark arrestor end cap, correct springs for my weight.

 

[troy deck]

its gona be tits we like tits

 

[racemx904]

Spark arrestor end cap.... from who?

 

[Norman Foley]

Enduro Engineering... I prefer the OEM silencer, to FMF.

 

[racemx904]

Looks great

A friend of mine bought one of those enduro engineering screen type spark arrestors and it plugged up on him in less then 50 hours. Keep an eye on it. They don't seem to like 2 strokes all that well.

I have had one on my Husaberg TE250, for 2.5 years and never plugged it solid. I pull it out routinely and clean it anyway. You can actually just use a propane torch and heat the screen in place....

Good to know, we didn't know it could be an issue until we were 70 miles into a 120 mile ride and he couldn't go past 1/2 throttle without it bogging badly. No one had the right torx bit to take it out so he just limped it back to the truck and put a FMF on it the next week.

I would have jammed a screwdriver through it....

That was discussed, we probably should have done that. We tried cleaning it with a rag covered in gas and that helped for a bit.

Randy Hawkins lost the 2002 National Enduro Championship, by a DNF at the King Phillip National, due to a plugged screen in a modified YZ250 2T silencer. It wasn't carbon and spooge, it was fiberglass packing from a freshly packed silencer. They changed carb and ignitions all day at resets, to no avail. Randy retired and after the race, they realized the screen was plugged.
