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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc New 2014 WR300.

I've been wanting a dedicated woods bike for quite a while and admittedely was watching
craig's list religiously for a KTM300 til I finally came to my senses and realized that I could
buy a brand new WR300 for what some of these KTM owners are asking for their five or seven
year old 300XC's or XCW. So I'm am now the proud new owner of a 2014 WR300. First two-stroker
I've had since my YZ125 back in high school.
Not an easy bike to kick start. Will probably take her up to Georgetown tomorrow for it's first
ride.

When you say 2014 model, I take it you mean a new 2013 model, because as we all know the 2014 model is a KTM/Husaberg hybrid. It looks gorgeous, one other thing I would do if I was you, first time you have the fuel tank off, spray a load of corrosion inhibitter up inside the main frame tube, i found a lot of rust inside mine in no time. Go ride.

OK, "not easy" as in hard to kick. Keep in mind that it's brand spankin' new and new to me. It wasn't easy. I've been spoiled
with the button for the past 20 yrs. Not knockin' it, just expressing my first experience and that was "hard to kick".
Another question of the "newbie" type, I started it up and kept it going for a few minutes and adjusted the idle screw a bit. Took it
for a little spin around the block when it died as if it ran out of gas. The gas was on so I don't know. I just don't want to get up to GT
tomorrow and have to go through this all day. Not worried about it long term as I know it takes time to get a new bike sorted out but
I'm sure it's something simple so any help would be very cool.
