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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Until the boys come on here and report .This is what i heard
both David and Nic really liked the bike and had no problem running up front.But they had to run the stock tank and it just would make it to the pits each time .Maybe on the last pits they did not get the bike fill all the way because the bike ran out of fuel before the finish.
They did push the bike across the finish line for a finish.
The first National is in 2 weeks and the stock tank should not be a problem
 
The Good, Bad and the ugly

TXC511
Nick and David loved the way the bike handle and Nick commented on how strong the motor was. David Kamo started, we were second to last to leave the starting gate at one minute intervals. David handed the bike to Nick at the 27 mile marker in sixth place. Nick came into the motocross section mile marker 78 in 3rd place but ran out of gas in the middle of the motocross section. He was prepared for this and was carrying a quart of gas. He was passed by two racers and still had to pit. Nick gave the bike back to David Kamo at mile marker 27 in fifth place. David had the same experience as Nick and ran out of gas within 50 feet of the same place Nick did. He too was carrying a quart of gas. David pitted and handed the bike back to Nick at mile marker 27. Nick only had 45 miles to go to finish but for some strange reason he ran out of gas two to three miles before the finish. Nick pushed the bike to the finish to get valuable championship points. With teams breaking or not finishing for other reasons I think we still finished fifth.

Good: Bike handle great, motor was awesome, stock tank goes 50 miles, top speed perfect with stock gearing

Bad: One section was 54 miles, needed more time testing

Ugly: pushing the bike to the finish
 
Super -- Thanks for the report. Sounds like the TXC needs a bigger tank. :doh:

Great job though. I can't wait to see them in action myself. :cheers:
 
Tank

Yes they (zipty racing) already have ideas on how to do it. The bike will do 50 miles and most races have 30 to 40 mile loops so the stock tank won't be an issue.
 
Bike was sputtering pretty bad when leaving out of main pits, but would clean out when they nailed it at the end of the pit road.:excuseme:
Airfilter????

Another win for the CR 6-speed transmission? Wait till they add a single tooth to the FS, more than perfect might be in the cards ... might even give .3 MPG better fuel mileage ... enough to remedy the pushing aspect ...

A new bike like this is probably fun to the PROs as they get totally new bike concepts that they need to work on in order to push it over the top ...

Good thought, we actually called the other pit and told them to be ready to change the air filter and they changed it but nothing was wrong with it. Once the bike cleaned out it was ok. Right now we think it had something to do with completely running the bike out of gas but are looking into it this week.

Hi Guys

If the rider twist the trottle and try to start the engine at the same time it will be problems. It is very importent to let the EFI handle it by it self. Otherwise it will be some sputtering and missfire.

Interesting -- That's good to know. :thumbsup:
 
Pretty impressive, since it appears they only got the bike(s) shortly before the race.

Looking very early on at the BM, and then at the Husky at R&D, I thought briefly that in Quick Fill situations the interlinking hoses of the tanks would slow things down, (not that it would be an issue for me or 95% of owners) and so it appears to be.

They'll get it sorted. Easily.

I think we might see Husky really getting back to their dominating level in the Desert, especially with Davis running the team.

As per usual, you've got the idiots on other sites putting the bike down, making comments on a bike that they have never ridden (Rodered[sp?] and I leave them idiotically justifying their positions , with intelligent and reasoned postings). There are some very 'limited' individuals out there, and they are seemingly very threatened by a bike (s) they seem to consider as disasters.

One of the less foolish ones, still came out with the thought that the bike would have insurmountable issues, after the fuel fill problems........
