• 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     WR = 2st Enduro & CR = 2st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc 570 Husaberg to a WR300???

Had a 2011 fe 390, same shit, bad engine heat, fuel boiling etc, but the best suspension ive every ridden and that was straight out of the box !!! good trail bike or for dual sports but a horrible enduro bike ! As far as the WR 300 yeah got one of those too, great bike but the suspension is harsh and abrupt! especially if your going from the berg, I scraped my stock front forks and got a set of new take off CC FORKS FROM A 2012 tc499 had them redone by WER and its a whole new machine !!! youll also want to change to a Keihin PWK Carb ,move the brake pedal out and get a TEC from provini

Thats to bad that you guys didn't have good luck with yours, Mine runs like a Swiss watch and never misses a beat, when it gets hot the fan kicks in and I ceramic coated the exhaust so no heat issue with gas, I run it on the Low map in races and it runs like torque monster 450 and yes I do get to pin in wide open on occasions during a race. The 2011 fe570S that I have did get Enduro of the year from more than one reviewer but it is fairly heavy for scrambles.

In any case I'm looking forward to picking up the New Husky Saturday and adding a lighter weapon to the arsenal! Looking for some good 2 stroke oil now?? Amsoil is available or I can get a discount on royal purple?
 
most quality synthetics work fine I am running Golden Spectro at 50:1 and so far all is well after 7 years
 
Motorex Crosspower 2T for my WR300. Expensive, but it can be run at high dilution (50 or 60 to 1) and really keeps the engine clean and wear low.

Amsoil interceptor at 32:1, very clean burning and no residue on the top end components:thumbsup:

why do you run yours so fat if you dont mind me asking? I don't think the WFO desert doods even run it that fat...your off idle response will increase 10 fold in sensitivity with a higher gas/oil ratio.

I have a wr150 with a lectron and I like running small bores at that ratio. I have my carb adjusted to that ratio and throttle response is crisp with no bogs or flat spots and no spooge. If I had a 250 or a 300, I would run the same oil at 40:1. I ride mostly tight single-track but I am wfo some-times and that ratio works for me.:cheers:

I'll bet that red KTM has at least all the frame mods the guys at Halls do. That bike probably has as much in common with a showroom one as it does with a Harley Sportster. 2 wheels, a frame, engine and seat.

Read'em and weep ...

You know nothing on the history of that WR300 bike :0) ... I'm no fan of parrots either ...

Please list the mods. I thought a bike ridden in that event by a serious contender would have the same or better level of prep as a bike sold to a local rider by a dealership. Bone stock frame? Did you prep it by chance?

U the expert ... Keep up the good work on explaining about a bike you are clueless on ...
 
Thanks and maybe a little more Bill Murray next time?

My 08 WR 250 which we all know is very close to any WR300 \ 250 ...

At that height they might just flex, where we ride they crack!
