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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

FE/FC FC350 or FC350?

I can save thousands on a leftover 2015 FC350 and have money left over for suspensions guards etc...or just buck up for the 2016.

I ride `woods of the Pacific Northwest and race hare scrambles in senior expert class where I am able to finish on my FE 501.

My 501 is a little heavy and I am looking for a lighter bike.

The 2015 sounds like it is a little abrupt in the power dept. Is it? What mods to smooth it out?

Thanks
 
On paper there's not much different between the years so get the 2015. Both will need suspension work if you race/ride at higher speeds. Tuning is available at your dealer or the several custom tuners online/local to help smooth out the power.
 
"The 2016 is completely different... "

Aren't the 2016 models the same a factory edition 2015?? Lighter weight, some motor internals but otherwise not ground breaking especially based on reviews. Save your money and get the 2015 with suspension corrected for you and your riding.
 
I ended up with a 2015 FC 350. I hooked up a fan to the battery with a switch. There are no other electrical accessories. Will the stator keep up or will it draw off of the battery?
 
Got out for a ride today. This bike feels way lighter than my 501 but also way stiffer with way less torque. But I think I can live with it for now. It didn't hardly stall at all.

I will prolly throw a 13 tooth on the front.

I didn't particularly like the 19" rear. I might have been the had rubber compound but I aired it down and then got a flat.

Is anyone else running running a 19" tire off road? If so what kind of tire?
