  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 finally got a set of these today! They look awesome! I got the rear in the 100/100-18 size and the front in the 80/100-21 size. I can't wait to finish off the stock michelin enduro competition 3 tires on my wr and mount these up. Unfortunately I injured my back and can't ride for a while :(. I will post some pics when I get them mounted and give a report on how they work for me. Stay tuned!:cheers:.

I injured it at work lifting something I shouldn't have:mad:. All I can do right now is hobble into the garage and look at my bike and new tires and think of the first ride with both:excuseme:! I am slowly on the mend and will be riding soon, even if I have to be lowered onto it with a crane LOL!

Haha, two seperate friends, and my dad all told me they were going to chain up my bikes to keep my off them while I heal. I told them all if I wanted it bad enough, I'd find a way...
 
Well I finally got the rear tractionator mounted today and will be installing the front soon. After a 2 day ride in steep terrain with lots of rocks,the stock michelin enduro comp 3s are torched. I was not very happy with the stock tires in loose and rocky terrain and am looking forward to trying out the motoz. I will post pics after I get the front mounted and will post a ride report as well. Stay tuned!:cheers:.

I think the first thing that should be done when a new Husky is bought, is to take the stock Michelins off and throw them as far as you can. I wish I did. I rode on the stock ones for a while and finally installed new Michelin S12 XCs front and rear a couple rides ago and can't describe what a difference they make.
 
I think anything will be better than the stock tires! After two days riding in the rocks they went from almost new to shredded rubber banana peels:lol: , even when they were new I was not impressed with them in softer terrain. I think I will be impressed with the motoz based on the looks alone!:thumbsup:.
 
Here are some pics of the tractionator x-circuit tires mounted on my wr144, ride report to follow eventually when the weather gets better:(:cheers:!

LOL! I am used to riding in the rain and cold,most of my riding buddies don't care for it too much though:cry:. I just might go out on my own when I get the chance,it's killing me looking at my clean bike and new tires:lol:!
 
I've got a rear one. Last xcountry race there was rooty, snotty hill, typical wet forest, with about 10 riders stuck on it. I just crawled right on by with my feet dangling behind me. I was amazed how that tire hooked up. The bike just didn't want to stop moving. Now I just need to get a front tire. I'm still running the stock one and it's a little sketchy.
 
Thanks for the replies so far every-one! I am looking forward to showing my riding buds these tires, especially the rear one!:thumbsup:
 
The rear is good, but the front.... O my.... I have never been so confident in my front end. Feels like it sticks everywhere compared to any other front I've tried (at least 10+).... For the rear, I'm stuck on the IRC M5B...

DON'T SHOW ANYONE HUSKYBEAR**************************************** Let's keep this secret right here on CH!

Sounds good Blake, but I always enjoy showing any-one the back tire of a husky!
 
Just want to bump this to see how you're making out with the Tractionator. I got a rear flat in my last moto today, and now thinking about doing a tire upgrade while I have it off. Not really unhappy with the stock Starcross, but they don't last for me. I ride predominantly hardpack MX, with a few hare scrambles a year, but have been caught in the (clay) mud 3 times already this season. I kind of need a do it all tire, if such a thing exists. 2011 CR150

I posted a ride report a while back. I am really happy with them. They seem to work very good on a wide variety of terrain. Cornering is very predictable and they seem to wear very little. I don't ride mx, mostly tight steep single-track with rocks and roots and a wide variety of soils but little sand. I would buy them again.
 
I had a rear flat on my cr250 in the first 5 km of a 120km enduro. I rode the whole course with one rim lock and a cable tie ...never lost the bead. I turned the tire around and have ridden 1 enduro, 4 xc and about 12 hours of fast trail riding. The knobs are pretty dull but there is still lots of meat on them. Great tire...it will be staying on the cr for trail riding (The cr250 is being semi retired when my new to me wr144 arrives). The wr is set with the same tires and tubliss front and back. My buddy, who swears by s12's showed up with a new motoz rear in his trunk this weekend. Said the 100km flat impressed him.
 
which variety of MOTOZ tire seems to be the ticket for the wr150? exclusively ride rooty rocky snooty blue ridge mountain trails.
