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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

lowering link

I have a 2009 TE450 and would like to fit a lowering link to drop seat height (I have ducks desease) and wondered if any one has done this and if so does it effect handling in any way.
Is it offered by Husky or do you have to buy after market.
 
Husky doesn't offer a lowering link, there are aftermarket options but you might want to consider having the suspension professionally lowered as this would have less impact on the frame geometry.:cheers:
 
I have a kouba link that lowers the bike 1". I just removed from my 08 TE250. It works pretty well but it does make the action a little harsher on small chop. If you're interested in it shoot me a pm.
 
I felt like my 09 txc250 set a little too low. Ive never had a bike that I touched flat footed on before. Im only 6' with a 32" inseam. I only touch the balls of my feet on my jap bikes.
 
I have the Kouba 1" and it did 3/4 only. I like it, not noticable and I am 6' tall when my hands and arms are extended to the sky. other than that 5'6" ? 7" at best, w/30is.
 
Thanks all for your reply.
On another note, what are most running for gearing? TE450
Bike came standard as 13-47 cogs but I felt it was a little high so swapped the 47 out to a 50, as I was getting a fair amount of stalling coming into tight corners under heavy braking.
Seems a bit better now.
whats your thoughts

How about Husky part number:
COD. 8000H2442
Lowered seat std -35mm (-1.38inches)
Will give you a lower seat without affecting suspension.
I've got 1 ordered for my 2010 TE250.

How much they charging you for that?
 
You will find that for the first 500-600 miles the motor will be very tight and more prone to stalling. I originally went from a stock 50 to 52 on my Husky. This seemed to eliminate the stalling problem. However I found it was a bit too revvy at 80 Kms (50mph) on the bitumen bits.
Long story short I reverted back to stock gearing and found that it is best now that the motor is fully run in, alsdo it is not stalling.
 
I have one of the lowered seats on my TE450. I tried lowered and normal seats in turn on a 450 in the Husky Sport showroom before I bought, and though it's not a huge difference in height it is noticeable so it might help if you're struggling. Unsurprisingly the seat is harder than stock and feels less comfortable when you first sit on it (less padding), but I've found that it's fine for road journeys of at least 30-40 minutes which is the longest I've done with it.

Strangely the dzus fastener didn't line up quite right and it was hard to fasten the seat down at first, but it's improving with time as it beds in.
