• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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'm sure this has been covered before, but I didn't see anything in a quick scan, so I thought I'd ask.

What are the key differences between the TEs, TCs, TXCs and WRs.

I know the TEs are platable 4 strokes. I think the WRs are 2 strokes. But the TCs and TXCs seem pretty similar to the TEs, only generally not platable (or are they?)


Thanks!
 
And of course, I found the info after posting the question...

I'll start this with some quick points and others can finish off with more details:

2010 models (08 & 09 models very similar but Husky did make a much lighter engine for the 010 models ... )
1) WR -- 2stroke models - 125, 250, 300 - 5speed
2) TC -- 4stroke -- pure MX model racer - CARB - 5speed
3) TE -- 4stroke -- street legal dirt bike - fuel injected -6speed
4) TXC -- 4stroke -- cross country model -- 6speed - cross between TC & TE models

The WR models are 2stroke and bad a$$ I'd say ... lot here like the 125 as being a very fun bike with plenty of 125 power ... The 250 and 300 are the big boys ...

Many like the TXC models as they have a slight engine advantage over the TE models but the TE have the street stuff on them ... These bikes are dirt first, hi-way second as the gearing is too low for cruising ... You'll have to change the front sprockets at least to get a TE going 50-60MPH at the MID RPM range.

The TXC is more TC based ... engine performance close ... Same suspension but softer setup for the trail. Great single track \ woods bikes

Husky also makes a 310 and a 310 kit for the 250s... Many like these bikes and kits also.. There may be direct comparisons here on these bike so do some searches ... Most will say the Huskies are much lighter and higher performance than the DRZ..

You ain't gonna go wrong purchasing a Husky... BMW is their parent company and their future looks bright today :banana:

A couple of comments.

The TC intended application is mx, and the TC gear box is much closer spaced than a TE or TXC (which share the same gearbox). So the TC has spacings sorta like a crf450f, whereas the TE/TXC is sorta like a crf450x (last I checked).

When I bought my 2006 te250 at the dealer, it worked just like a car. It only came with plates and required street insurance (minimal compared to a car).... as opposed to being 'plateable' which as you probably well know, is a bit of a touchy subject these days.

Are you thinking about a new bike?

I wouldn't mind a smaller, lighter dirt bike, preferably plated. Not that I'd get rid of my TE610e. I've only had it 6 months.

But I doubt I could live with the stringent maintenance intervals.
 
Husky will have a TE449 model out in a couple months ... It is all new with a bmw engine but from all accounts, it is low geared also but might have a softer seat than the current TE line of bikes ... The current seats are like a rail after about ~50 miles ...

The TE310 would be a good bike I think ... It should have plenty of power and not as heavy as 450cc bike ...
