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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE/TC TE300 Street Legal Wiring Kit?

Doing some digging around. I would like to make my TE300 street legal at some point in the near future. I am looking into what it would take to get the full functioning kit from factory parts. I know the TE300 is street legal in the EU and AUS. I think I would like to stay with OEM parts. Is anyone aware of a kit from KTM/Husqvarna that includes the appropriate wiring harnesses, switches, relays, ect?

So far I have come up with the following parts based off comparing the OEM fiche for a 2016 FE501S and the 2016 TE300. This is just a start, would also need to change the voltage regulator I believe to a 2 plug, changes to headlight and taillight ect..

Another option is to cross reference ktm/husky 350/500 exc parts. Brake switches and bar switches etc. It'll be pricey going the route you intend but there's plenty of parts.
 
Agreed it would be pricey going OEM. If someone made a quality aftermarket kit I may lean thst route. The Sicass kit seems pretty good using the OEM plugs. But the switches the use seem to be the lame cheap ones that came with a Tusk kit I out on a Yamaha. The OEM switchs seem nicer.
 
I didn't know you could still get 2 strokes road legal in the US? Is it different rules for different states, or are you allowed to register a 'one-off' bike? How does it work?

The days are numbered for 2 strokes in the UK and EU, fuel injection will extend it a few more years, and now the UK is going to Brexit the EU, we may get a little longer (or shorter!)
 
It varies by state, Calif being the most strict probably. In NC it's very lenient at least in my area, all you need is a bill of sale to apply for a title, then if it passes inspection you can get a plate.
Also, some states a city or town can make it's own rules if the state approves. I use to live on the beach outside of Charleston, SC on a small island. The speed limit was 25mph everywhere and no helmet required. :cheers:
 
I think I see! So is it a case of you can sneak 2 strokes through under the radar in a very localised sense, but the official US government line is that road legal 2 strokes are not wholesale imported and sold through the dealer network, as they are in the UK and EU etc?
Presumably you can't go to a Husky dealer and make a 'special order' to get an EU version?
 
I guess we are lucky in Ky.... I walk my title over to the sherrif and tell him I want a plate... He makes t street legal.... Ya...
 
Here in South Eastern Arizona in Cochise County. You can get a plate, off road sticker and the street sticker to put on that same plate as long as you have bike Insurance.

I used the "Sicass Racing" supplemental wiring harness on my '15 FE 501. The "Euro map" installed at time of purchase and I installed their handlebar mounted 3 way map switch as well. It took no more than about half an hour or so to make it street legal.

I rode it out the highway about 5 miles to the Motor Vehicle Dept. They didn't/wouldn't even look at it, even when I asked them to. A $20.00 fold down mirror is used and the horn wire was tucked up under the tank and I didn't even bother with installing it. If I get a ticket for no horn, I'll put it on, get the "fix it ticket" signed off and take it back off again.

The brake light banjo switch can be installed without even needing to bleed the rear brake by just pushing the pedal down and using a tie wrap or piece of wire to keep it from returning while the stock banjo fitting is replaced.

The brake light element is already in the taillight. The rear tail light harness and headlight switch harness is 20 minutes plug and play, simple as could be.

You can get street legal tags for just about anything here. Including 2 strokes. There's street legal Banshee Quads that have been running around here for years.
 
Yeah, the US has a really stupid and incoherent patchwork of laws.

To the OP: maybe you don't care (which is fine - I don't judge!) or maybe you know this already, but your state may be one of those in which you can satisfy all the checklist-type rules for a street-legal bike and still not be able to get a street registration for it because your state won't do it for that particular make/model. I went through all this BS in Illinois to plate an XR400, and ultimately some bureaucrat in the bowels of the state rejected the application because the XR was one of those models in Illinois.

Best of luck!
 
It does seem the older euro bikes at least aren't on most lists of rejects, whereas the jap bikes are.
 
Got my 14 te300 street legal in washington and was no problem! I used Tusk wirring harnnes, control switch and led turn signals and enduro engineering brake switch! Its super clean and works great def the cheapest best way to go!

Believe it or not IL doesn't even have a list. My 2000 XR was rejected, but my '92 CR250 was no problem. (!)

Ultimately in this state it comes down to whether or not the "legends" section of the title says something like: off-road only. If it does, no plate, regardless of whether you've got a conversion kit, DOT tires, etc. If it doesn't say anything like that on the title, you can get a plate even if it's a 20-year-old 2T MX bike. Crazy, but there you have it.
