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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fun weekend ride report :)

Nothing real special, but we went for a little scoot over the weekend. Right before we left we noticed (luckily!) my friends XR600 had a random crack in the clutch cover where the oil line banjo bolt threads in causing a major oil leak. It was either stay at home or throw him on my Husqvarna and hit the road :excuseme: :D

For the record my 570 is one of the most needy bikes I've ever owned and sadly it spends most of its time sitting in the garage where it can't spend my money haha. I was nervous loaning it out but in the end we racked up over 100miles of mixed single track, two track, fire roads and pavement and other than a 6m bolt working out of the rear disk rotor (weird I know hahaha) and causing a high pitched squeal the 570 had no problems. My friend really fell in love with the Husky he said if it were not for my rock hard seat he would have offered to trade for the XR plus cash--hmm ah... no thanks :o

During the ride I found that I didn't even have to look in the mirror to know there were two Husqvarnas behind me--they're are so noisy--and its not the exhaust! Rattles, whirling sounds squeaks and clatter. Is that normal?!

Didn't get any good pics but heres the bikes: My friends 2000 TE610 and my 2002 TE 570 and 2002 WR426: Good times

Your buds 610 is almost a dead ringer for mine 'cept mine has yellow cycras.

As far as noise goes, Mine is a real jug band. I thought something was wrong with it and that's why it was so cheap, but it runs great and hasn't given me any problems.

What kind of problems have you run into on your 570?
