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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi guys I am new to being a member of this forum although reading it for a long time.

A little while a go I purchased my first husky. I LOVE IT. It is also my first 4 stroke :)

I purchased my husky for $1500 plus an old 1998 ktm 300 of memory services me right.

My girl is pretty good has the normal issues starting occassionally and get a tad hot when hammering knarly single trail (probably my clutch heavy 2 stroke riding approach;)

Any way I am currently in the process of attempting to motard or under the cheap price Uni students can afford. Hehe. I have a spare set of wheels which I am planning on hopefully. Using my stock rear rim on the stock front hub for my front wheels. And buying a 17" fat rear rim to suit the stock rear hub. If anyone has some advice on theis matter at all it would be highly appreciated especially the rear rim to front hub idea.

Anyway time for some pics I guess.

UH, $1500 for an 05 te450 is a steal, plus a ktm300, did they fall off the back of a truck???
 
Change to an iridium plug, that will help fire her up.
Also put a cap of 2 stroke fully syn in the fuel every time you top up (the cap I refer to is the lid on the 2 T bottle). This will cushion the valve seats and help with the top ring lube-great engine life prolonging trick.
 
Congrats. I have the exact same bike. Before you rebuild a set of wheels, it might be worth considering to buy a cheap sumo wheelset from torpedo7 (yamaha spec) and replace the bearings to suit 25mm axle then play with your spacers to align brake disc and sprockets. Bearing and spacers are much cheaper and easier than rebuilding wheels with the bonus that you keep a spare set of dirt wheels.

I have been wanting to do this for a while but other projects keep getting in the way.
