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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The video below is our new '09 TXC 250... I can do this EVERY time, hot or cold. The E-start is completely useless on this bike. I'm in LOVE! It was less than one year ago that I was kicking my KTM 250 SXF and Cody was kicking his CRF 250R at least 10 times to get them going! The Honda was more like 20 times... errrrrr 30... well, OK, 40!

I LOVE Husky! :notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

Starting our Husky!

I likes it!:applause: That's one of the great things about my TE too. I can kickstart it in tennis shoes. (even though you made it look easy in the video, I don't think I would try to crank it by hand)

Trust me Dirt Dame, it really IS as easy as it looks. I may try to con my wife into trying it too for another video! I'm convinced she could do it with minimal effort.

Did I say I LOVE Husky???? :D

I'm sure that it's easy for you; just not for me. I can kick my CR85 over by hand (at least I could a couple of years ago.:p)
 
Cool video have you taken the bike out for a ride yet? Oh... I won't try that with my 09 TXC 510 but I can start it with one finger!

:lol: Love it. I can start my 125 with two fingers while chugging a beer so there. :cheers:

Pffft! Yeah. 2 fingers. I wanna see the video.

Wait!


I think our CR 125 could have been started with 2 fingers...


Nevermind! :lol::thumbsup:
 
The really funny part is I almost never kick it any more. It push starts at walking speed so i just roll it forward and go. Down not take much to overcome a little tinny piston.

I'm taking a day off tomorrow so Cody can get some break-in time on the TXC. I think I may have to ride it most of the time to make sure it's broke-in "properly"... :D

You really should, those darn kids these days have no restraint. :thumbsup:
 
Sweet video man! :thumbsup: I love the warning about cardiac arrest. I have started my TC450 by hand a couple times by hand too. Also to make fun of honda riders. Love them huskys.
 
Yes proper break in must be done by the father always. I had to beaek in my sons GSXR1000 just to make sure everything was a ok. Well you and Cody have fun tomorrow and don't forget to post up the ride report.
 
Can you let it get so hot it is boiling over, throw it down on the ground, then pick it up and do the same thing? If so then I will have one less reason to not want a four stroke.
