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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

     TE = 2st Enduro & TC = 2st Cross

TE/TC Finally got to ride a '17 TE150!

Nice! Im excited for you. There is hardly a better feeling then a brand new dirtbike....preferably a husqvarna! I'm all good with chapter three. They are great bikes.. I still don't like orange much and when I get joshed at the races (everyone knows my opinion on ktm) I make it clear I ride a husqvarna made by ktm...so I don't give a crap it's a husky...im still mulling over a te 150 but think.for me a tc 125 with 150 kit may.be better.....for me..195 pounds instead of 205 pounds...
 
Ha all this small bore stuff has me kind of stoked...resisting at the moment....jay says stay 250....but darth vader says....tc 125....150 kit...revalved front and rear...o ring chain...and ims large tank...ee handguards...195 pounds of s@>t and git....the te 150 weighs 205 and a tc 250 is 212(almost 213 with mandatory flywheel weight) that s only 8 more pounds....but 18 more pounds then a tc 150......holy Batman that sounds like fricken fun....please darth Vader stop me....
 
I will try it first as a 125 I do remember my Italian husky 125 was faster then my 165 on flat ground Add in a sand wash or some hills and the power of the 165 pulled But in the higher speed stuff the 125 pulled away

My 165 was not a top end monster, compared to the 125 and 144 versions. I never really quantified it though. My old style TE150 with FMF Fatty and one extra tooth on the rear sprocket would definitely out pull and have higher top end speed, than my 200XC-W stock pipe and gearing. TE150 has a very accurate ICO Checkmate and the 200 stock KTM Odo matched it pretty well. We have a long uphill pull in a grass track, where you get tapped out in 6th gear. The 150 was 4 mph faster at peak, than the 200. I put FMF 200SX Fatty pipe on and actually added a tooth the the rear sprocket.... Then speeds matched. The pipe added quite a bit of top end and the extra tooth added back the low end it stole. Win/Win!

It is in a way, hard to let go.... It was only going to be a stop gap bike, until the new estart TE150 was released. I never intended to buy one, but it fell in my lap used. Fate kept it in my hands an extra season, but one ride on the new 150 convinced me it was the right choice to let it go. My '15 TE125/150 is a little more unique and special to me, as I did the motor conversion. It would be pricey, but I might just convert the '15 over to electric start with 200 parts. Solid Performance KTM did a '15 TE125 estart for a customer.
