  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Fe350 who want a quicker bike

Chums

Husqvarna
Pro Class
So I've tried all sorts of things on my 14'350 for added quickness and power and just wanted to share things that I've tried. I'm bigger at 225# so consider that.

#1 best investment to date- g2 quick turn throttle, made a HUGE difference on the bike, better throttle response, quicker revs, made the bike feel like it had more go!

#2 up one tooth on rear to 53tooth (ironman sprocket) love these sprockets and being a bigger guy felt I was in the wrong gear a bit to much before this.

#3 EU map and full FMF exhaust

#4 Slavens heavy spring, I run a core exp and this spring is a must if you run a rekluse! Makes a dramatic difference in keeping clutch from slipping to much. Down fall makes clutch pull even harder, see #6

#5 map switch just nice to have to calm everything down when muddy.

#6 Mountain engineering easy pull clutch lever, it works kinda.. Didn't make much of a change but some, I didn't feel the cost justified what it changed.
 
The 350's need better fuel management on top of the EU map.
Looking over my map, with just a slip on, the bike is under fueled across the bottom up until about 5500 rpms where it is fat until 8700 rpms and then under fueled to 12k. This could be why you are getting such a response from the throttle tube. Not sure why KTM put a much smaller head on the Husky versus their orange bikes, maybe to appeal to different riders, who knows. Mapping on the KTM 350 is actually the same mapping for the 450. Fuel is reduced from the bottom and added from 4700 to the top. I'm not sure if I could even port enough out of the FE350 to make up for the loss, but I'd be willing to give it a try.
 
Yup, for my 501 I needed the dirt tamer. It was a bit on/off with the OEM tube for my riding skills. Now it's perfect. I could see how a quick turn would help on a 350 since they love to be revved.

The G2 is not going to make it any quicker just less twist

The g2 quick turn made ME quicker I guess is a better way of saying it. I kept getting beat on every corner, I raced a guy with the exact same bike, he had the quick turn I did not and every corner he'd pull away just a tiny bit, by the end he was way ahead of me, I put the quick turn on and he hasn't beat me yet.
I can't grab a hand full of stock throttle every turn without re gripping which sucked and I'd loose time. Just my experience.
 
It's possible, but I know the FC does not have the bigger head either. The race team had to pull the entire engines and replace with orange. Definitely an issue with the airbox and subframes as well.
