• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 All, just picked up my new 2017 TE250! looking towards maiden ride!


few questions so far..

are there Taller footpegs available for this bike? I am rather short and taller footpegs would help.

are there lighter clutch springs available? clutch feels rather stiff (maybe it needs break in)

thanks!

I'm not sure on the clutch...clutch pull on these new husky is typically really light....i would ask the dealer or pull the clutch lever on another te and see ..
 
I sometimes only use 1 finger on my clutch, even from new it was buttery smooth (but it does drag while in gear...) not sure on the pegs but nice bike!
 
put few hours on the bike and clutch feels better. perhaps it just needed bit of break in. Bike is tall!! so yeah.. I could use taller pegs. Comparing to Beta, bike is soo easy to turn and it feels lighter. Need to clean up bottom end, as it's bit rich but love how smooth the motor is. First impression of forks is also very positive!
 
How is it going with this bike? If you think the bike is tall husky sells a 1/2 inch lower seat. I have this seat as I'm only around 5'7" and it helps for sure.
 
I'm trying to figure out why.anyone would need a lighter pull? And if you do any mods will it change anything in a negative way if you do a mod....

It's kind of like asking "why would anyone run anything but the red spring in the power valve?"

It's a non-invasive mod, in that you can put it back to the factory setting, since it uses one of the three factory preload adjustment holes in the pressure plate. I found the clutch pull to be pretty stiff on the TX300, at least it is for the type of technical woods riding I do where I'm working the clutch more often then not. If I were in more open terrain, I'd have been inclined to keep it stock.
 
Surprised, maybe different units (of bike) have different clutch feel.
I have a bad left hand (had a serious injury with some nerve loss/partial paralysis) and find my TE250 clutch to be super light compared to my KTM (17 250XCF). I'm actually really loving the magura clutch so far. usually I struggle with the clutch tiring out my hand on other bikes but so far so good on my 17 TE250.
