• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 always wanted to know the difference.

Like I said I always wanted to know what was different so I bought the KTM 150sx just to find out.
They pull different , just doing hole shots so that's not much to go on.
The KTM has more adjustment at the bars.
I like the Husky tool less seat better. Shock is easier to removed on the Husky.
That's about it until the suspension gets back from the shop on the KTM.IMG_20150322_100932782_HDR.jpg IMG_20150322_100932782_HDR.jpg
 
Finally have the suspension back from REP,same guy that did the shock on the Husky.
They are sprung about the same, have the same tire's brigstone m59 and vee rubber tackee.
They handle about the same but power wise they are different. The Husky is much smoother than the KTM.
I can see setting them up difrent , like a lectron on the Husky for nasty woods and run the KTM in the open MX track GP style tracks. I can see having two on hand .
Next I will run them back to back just because I can.
 
Look forward to hearing more. I was wishing someone else would win a GNCC by the end of last year, but I was cheering for CR when he fired up the 150xc.

:cheers:
 
The Husky turns better than the KTM in the wood's. It's not that the KTM handles bad,its the Husky turns better.
That's it for now.
 
Quicker turning means better handling, faster in turns? Maybe faster coming out of turns because of a shorter radious? Is one bike balanced or feel better than the other?

Better turning, advantages, pros? Cons?
 
Even in the parking lot the Husky turns better.
I know others change the trees and cut the bolts on the stop's.
I always felt the Husky was a good bike in tight wood's.
 
They both like air just point it up the jump and giggle. The Husky feels better landing , I just cannot pinpoint why.
That's all for now.
