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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2017 enduro line

they are calling the 125 a TX model but its a full enduro setup bike because in EU TE means street legal per FIM enduro specs, 125s do not pass the euro 4 spec so they named them TX models even though they have the full enduro set up treatment (lites, etc.)
Simo Kirssi is the WP Rep. that guy rips, he was doing regional enduros at the Nat level on the BMW twin for a while.
 
Here's some interesting reading. Yes it's the KTM launch, but, well, you know. Basically the same. Good on you Aussies for spreading the word!

The 250 two stroke has a dampening clutch and now counter balance shaft. Has anything else besides a rotax had a counterbalancer in this class of engine?
The hour service interval was not specified for the two stroke but something like 140 hours for the four cycle. Not sure what to make of that. My ktm 200 had a 75 hour service interval and has yet to fail since 2004 at least the way I use it.
 
And here's some Husky feedback from Sweden by Dirt Bike, not as much info, but it's like JA! :cheers:

"Despite location and ownership changes, there has never been a break in production from 1903 to present, making Husqvarna the oldest continuously manufactured motorcycle brand in the world, beating Harley Davidson by a scant six months."

This may be false. I bought a 2004 bike, titled that way but the frame is stamped 2002. Wasn't there some flood in 2003?
 
Yes there was a flood at one of the factories (they had 2 then) but they still produced motorcycles just very few were imported to the US. There were no 1997 models imported to the US as well but they were still sold around the world.
