• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Gasgas 4 stroke: Is anyone excited?

With Gasgas taking over the Husky thumper motors it should be a pretty nice package.

Just curios if any of the Husky guys on here will become Gasgas converts?

I ride Gasgas and would be interested in the 310 package as Gasgas has very nice components and put together sweet bikes.
 
Only if they put some more engineering into the 310 motor to fix the starter and oil return. If they just drop a 310 motor into a GG frame, I'd just laugh all the way to a beta or sherco dealer
 
With a few simple little changes the 310 would be a fantastic motor in the GG, look forward to seeing what they end up with. For me personally I like my smaller bikes to be 2 strokes and my big bikes to be 4 strokes so dont think I am a customer.
 
Local dealer in my area is giving a lot of input on the flaws of the Husky 310s mentioned earlier in this thread. I am sure more dealers are and I would think GG would make the recommended changes. I am excited to see how they will turn out. The new GG 300s are beautiful bikes. They have swag!!
 
I had a 13 TXC 310. Great upside potential with very little tweaking needed. Hopefully they will do what KTM has done with the 350

I have ridden plenty of GG. biggest mistake would be to not keep the x lite frame. Best handleing bike I have ever ridden
 
I owned an 04 GG EC300(son's bike) and he loved it. I had a converted YZ250 at the time and the GG handled slower than my YZ. Not necessarily a bad thing as to each his/her own and again my perception. I have GG buddies that love their bikes and are fast on them. I couldn't come to terms with it personally. Now the motor was killer for woods and stone cold reliable. When I moved to the TE310R, I was amazed it handled quicker and lighter than my YZ. I just hope we can source parts for the 310 from GG in the future as I plan on keeping mine for awhile. Same for the italian Husky tiddler. I am having the time of my life riding the 310 and the 144. I felt one would win me over and the other would sit, but I love them both. I am definitely faster on my 310 though, especially on flowing woods trails. Has just enough engine braking to provide some trail-braking into the corner, long pull in each gear.
