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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I think you'll do better on a WR150..... I have an '09 WR125, kitted with the Factory 144 and riding it back to back with my friends '10 TXC250, it has better low-mid torque. I'll state that mine has an auto clutch and his doesn't, also mine is geared 13/52 and his is 13/50. The WR150 has the same frame and ergos, as your '10/'11 TE250.... but will feel lighter and get excellent traction if you restrain your right hand (Or not maybe?). This was very evident on a very snotty steep uphill, with no run up a few weeks ago..... I started up the hill and just as I was going to shift to second, a stray dog ran into the trail. I had to back off for a moment and then get on it staying in first, buzz sawing up the hill. I figured for my friend on the TXC 250 it would be easier to find traction with the 4 stroke. Not so.... The lack of bottom and flywheel of the TXC250 saw him stuck on the hill. Did I mention he is a better rider than me? There are times the WR150 won't be fast up a hill, but will drag you to the top and through tight single track very well.
 
Well said. Tried a 09 te 250. Did not work for me. The 150 feels super light and gets the job done. If yoy can, find someone that has one set up nice and ride them back to back to help make a decision!
