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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Short story shorter, I smashed my speedo on my te250, I was wondering if there was a good aftermarket one that was recommended?

I don't know how much a husky replacement is, but I bet its not cheap. I'm looking to spend around 100 bucks.

I was looking at the trailtech endurance 2, but I don't know what is entailed in making an aftermarket part fit my bike. I would prefer a plug and play, if possible

trailtech endurance ii was a direct swap over on my wr300 & is lightyears ahead of crappy oem speedo in terms of quality & reliability! same plug for pick up & left original magnet in rotor & pick up wire in caliper/brakeline. just had to run wire to stator(battery in your case) & earth. easy as. easy instructions to follow for installation & programming. $99 i think. no drilling calipers or nasty wiring jobs! screws direct into oem speedo mount(you get a trailtech one also & pick up wire/magnet etc). so close to plug-n-play its not funny-even easier on te as you just run power to battery, probably dont even have to take tank off! brakes/speedo etc are the same on wr as they are on te im fairly certain so same story basically. kph(or mph), av speed, max speed, total km, 2 trip meters, ride time, accumulated ride time(hour meter), clock. no lap timer though. i was stoked at how good it fitted & quality wise its awesome-easy to read & use, decent buttons & bright display. plus as wr has no battery it works without engine running(unlike oem unit)-front wheel movement activates or engine start, like ktm. get one theyre brilliant!
 
I would go with the Trail Tech Vector model you can find them for less than $90 and add the remote switch
what does remote switch do exactly? i just wanted most smallest/slimline, basic, cheapest, RELIABLE(CAN YOU HEAR ME HUSQVARNA!!!) speedo i could get. basically just a clock with trip km, total km, hourmeter & speedo. didnt really want tacho/water temp etc as only trailride but different strokes for different folks :)
 
I agree fully with you shawbagga. You said the stock wheel sensor was compatible with the trailtech right? So all I need to buy is the computer and the handlebar mount? Thumpertalk has the computer for $50 and the mount for $15. So if that is all I need than I could get away with spending $65 plus shipping

i thought they just came in a kit(mine did anyway!) with speedo, wiring/magnet/pick-up/cable & mount? basically everything you need to put one onto an mx bike. i got mine direct from trailtech & pretty sure it was $99 plus freight-$25 to Oz. quick delivery(coupla weeks) even though they were on back order or something! the mount it comes with is just a crappy plastic L-shape type one that bolts onto ya bars-i wouldnt trust it but be handy if you had no other mounting option. mate im 99.9% certain the te's & wr's run exact same front end i.e. wheels/forks/brakes/clamps/speedo/headlight(up till '11) etc or very very similar. maybe someone with both models could confirm this? i wouldnt bother with the trailtech mount the stock mount is much better & central to clamps where as the trailtech sits off to one side a bit(by the look of it as i never did fit it to my bars). it screws right in holes line up near on perfect. cant remember if i used same screws as oem unit came with or trailtechs but youll work it out. use same rubber grommets/bungs for vibration & snug fit so wont come loose. if you can just get the unit itself for $50 grab it, thats all youll need. thats cheap, damn it i got ripped off $49 thinking i needed the whole box & dice. like i said i thought it only came as a complete set. pick up plugs straight in-same plug connection. jump on trailtechs site & have a look as you can get an alloy protective case which might come in handy for you!!! its listed as husky/berg/ktm i reckon so they must run similar systems-hole centres/plugs etc(ktm/berg units generally work longer than 2 rides though!). similar size to oem unit but much much bigger, brighter, better display & buttons. there are threads on em on here do a search, thats where i got the notion. everyone seems to like em & give good reports on functionality & durability. all in all a grouse unit thus far-very happy with it! p.s. you owe me $24.50 seeing as though i had to learn the expensive way! :)
 
I hooked up the endurance 2 and it seems to be a darn good unit. It was $50 and was a completely plug and play unit on my te250. The only hickup was I needed to buy 2 machine screws to mount the unit on the stock husqvarna mount.
