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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Picked up a pretty much brand new 2011 250 TXCi

Hey all. Happy to be here.

I just picked up a 2011 Husky 250 TXCi with under 15 hours on it. Has all the options like fuel injection - electric and kick start - brembo brakes. Truly immaculate condition. Guy bought new in 2011 and it sat around his garage. I changed the oil and bled out the old gas. Took it out last week and ripped the trails and was very, very pleased. This bike had the 'power upgrade' performed from the dealership back in 2011. He even gave me the paperwork from it. Have a few questions as I am new to Huskys.

What exactly is the TXCi? When were these bikes produced? Is 2011 the last year? I know it is an Italian made becase of the VIN. When searching around the internet seems it was the last year of this before the company's hands switched from BMW to KTM.

I stopped at the only Husky dealer in the state and the guy made me nervous because he said it's getting to be near impossible to get parts for this one. However this bike does NOT have the 'Red' tops to the motor. So what block is it? My concern is longevity. If I lose a bearing or something is the whole motor toasted then? Can you swap out a different motor from a newer husky?

Thanks,

-Berda

I have one too. Don't worry about parts. Hall's has had everything I've needed so far and should continue to have stuff for another while. Additionally, there are similarities with the engines that SWM are using which should help the supply chain.
 
I wouldn't worry about bearings as the manufacturers buy them off the likes of S.K.F. or INA etc so those will always be available, same for pistons and valves... the difficulty is crank cases and other model specific parts like the head, most damage can be repaired by the right guy.
Most parts are available if you look hard enough.

Worry about that when it comes to it.
But for now Enjoy a quality bike!
 
I have no problem getting parts. Almost everything I have ordered is to my door in a week or less.

Important thing is using the right oil and oil filters. I have noticed that some oil filters even tho it fits the bike some are too long and can restrict oil flow.
 
Thanks all! I have a copy of the service manual in PDF if anyone is interested I can post it up.
