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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Chilly has the goods, on the Sherco 2T....

Nice writeup. Seems like it would be a good NW or NE bike. The odd power is most likely the electronic powervalve. Wonder if that is programmable?

Ha ha, you got me. I said it was on my list... It's liable to stay on my list for a long time. (I sure do like my WR250)
 
Mine too but I can't decide between the 250 2t or the 300 4st. Leaning towards the 300 4st because I'm better at MX on 4strokes.
 
Sounds like a sweet bike - and the 300 4T is getting great reviews also.
But it leads me to think about Husky/KTM - Sherco is using the same basic platform but with 2 different engines in the 250 2T and the 300 4T - when S.P. is talking about shared platforms between Husky/KTM might he be referring to this sort of scenario?
 
Not sure MikeB. My problem with the shared KTM platform is I have yet to ride a KTM that I "feel" good on. This to me is mostly due to the frame/ergos they have. So I hope they have different frames and layouts so the Husky still has the Husky feel if that makes any sense.
 
That is a nice review. I am going to hold out for the new Husky which will have better suspension, a stronger engine and estart support.

I'm in the same boat but have ridden new 350 and 450 KTMs with linkage and really liked them. Also liked the FE390 Bergs with the 70 degree motor.

You have not steered me wrong yet and know you are working like mad on some new KTM based stuff so I'll take your word for it and look forward to the future.
