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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

About To Pull The Trigger On A Tc 449 ... Any Advice?

I'm just hours away from pulling the trigger on a 2011 TC 449. The bike will primarily be for fire roads and single track here in NJ. Bike I'm looking at has about 30 hrs on it, and seems mechanically good. So what can I expect maintenance wise at 30 hours? Anything specific I should look for? I've never owned a Husky, only Japanese bikes, so I know nothing about them. Mechanically I'm unstoppable, I build race cars and motorcycles in my spare time.
 
strong motor. you should enjoy it.

I believe the TCs might have the same flywheel issues as the TE & TXCs. If you read the other thread you heard about it- just replace the stock screws with better screws and you should be fine.

I don't know what the crankcase venting is like on a TC but the TEs need the valve cover vented; the factory plumbing vents from the cylinder base and sometimes liquid engine oil gets pushed into the air filter. if a TC is vented in the same place (yes- I bet it is) I am guessing oil is dumped to the ground.

brake pedals and gear shifters bend/fall off and there are little-to-none aftermarket replacements; check the tightness a lot.

if you're doing a lot of single track, you might wanna gear down a bit. Stock gearing is good for power-line stuff.
 
I hope you get a really good deal on it. Should be deeply discounted due to lack of factory support. Nice bike, but good luck!
