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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Glenn Kearney and his new 310cc engine

I was wondering when I saw this was a wet race, If they prepped his air box well enough. I know my '09 WR125 needed some serious attention, especially at the front top of the airbox at gas tank junction.

Norm,
I was curious as what you did to the front top of the airbox? I too have an 09' WR125, and I have noticed on more than one occasion that it will get almost flooded in some creek crossings. The crossings weren't crazy deep, as least, I think my 250 would've made it through okay. Any idea?

Thanks in advance...
Randy

And I didn't think that he could put the Husky on the overall podium. I am now HAPPILY eating my foot. :thumbsup:
 
Excellent Job today for Glenn. I wonder how close he was to a overall. Anybody there today and can give a report?
 
Everyyhing aside, I would love to get a real guide as to the capabilities of the 310. So please post away if you get any descent info.
 
I was at my Husky dealer the other day and he was showing me the dealer USB memory stick that showed the dyno graph of the new TE 310 compared to the old 310 and new 250. Horsepower was I think peaking around 38/39 according to Husky's graph. It also showed the two frames side by side where the lower wings were no longer there. And some of the Hard parts available.

what is the difference in weight and HP between the old and new 310?

That's a good question. I don't know but I'd like to take a guess. I'm going to say..... about 13 lbs difference and 5HP. :excuseme:

I'm on a Yamaha WR290 now and I have to say that is the right size motor. It's awesome and I have to believe it would be the same on the new 310 motor.
 
After riding a 250 2T all my life and then switching to this 250 4t, I can see when many will want more horses but not maybe all the way to the weight of a 450 bike ... The ~300 area might be the new 250 going forward in the 4t world ....

Glenn stepped up with this engine, no reports of the engine blowing, and I read when the X-light 250 engine won a MX championship in Italy so I'm convinced the engine is not gonna blow apart ... This will be the orange crusher engine for the next several years ...


PS -- Buy Glenn more than 1 drink if you cross his path before next weekend :)
 
after all the GK program discussions I guess the extra @50cc was what the GK program needed!! gettin er on the box!! good on ya GK
 
Well the TXC 250 is no longer for sale because its in my garage. I'm hoping he left some of his excellent riding skills on the bike along with some of the neat parts :D

I'm not the most qualified person to evaluate Glenn as a racer, but he was certainly a cool guy. Best of luck to you next season!
