• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Te449 New To Me

SAR, if you are riding in wooded areas with some terrain and not all out in flat country and wide open spaces, that 14/51 combo will be a good compromise ratio. You'll still need to slip the clutch in some of the tricky places (Which is a normal riding technique for any bike) but in 6th gear you should be able to hold 60mph for short bursts on the road.

Paw Paw - that sprocket ratio for your TC is pretty tall, and your TC 5 speed gearbox is the same as the first 5 of the TE, but the TE then has 6th installed after that, so can begin with a lower sprocket ratio.
 
If you check the total gearing from the crank all the way through the final drive you will see that it is not as tall as the final ratio would lead you to believe. With the set up I have, 1st gear and second gear are lower than the CRF450R and the 3rd gear is the same and then 4th and 5th are just a tad higher. Like I said, It works great for me in MX and I have ridden cross country with it and it is much better that the stock gearing. With the stock gearing, 1st and second gears are about useless as they are just way too low.
