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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc TE510 to a WR300? Another bumb question

Anyone here move from a 510/450 to a wr300?

I have an 07 Te510 and am thinking of getting a Wr300 next month. I was wondering if anyone else made this move and what their likes/dislikes of the switch were. I went from a 300EXc to the 510 in early 2007 and have really enjoyed the bike, but there is something in me that is craving a 2s. :excuseme:

THe main reason I bought the TE was the plate, but after two years the bike has seen asphalt maybe three times. I ride strictly single track in the woods.
 
The 300 is a beast. It was too much bike for this old guy in the woods, but coming from a 510 I suspect you'd think it was much lighter and better handling and you'd probably not mind the power. I sold my WR 300 and bought a 250 4 stroke because I was afraid I'd eventually launch myself into a tree with the explosive power of the 300.
 
I didn't go 300, but I wanted too. It's just that this decent, used WR250 came along.

The 510 is a fun bike and a down right blast to ride when the trails open up. It's so easy to go fast on the 510, and it's so stable at speed, but those things also make it hard for a little guy like me in the tight stuff.

The WR likes to do it all. It's a fast, fun bike to ride, too. It may be a little harder to make go fast like 510 in the open, but it's far easier to manage in the tight stuff.

The poor 510 sits most of the time now. I ride it to work now and then, but when I'm headed for the woods, I take the WR.

I just wish my 510 was an '07, so the two could share more parts. That would make it more cost effective to keep. Anybody want to trade?
 
Thanks guys. It looks like my 2yo and I will be taking a field trip on Saturday to see what is in stock at the dealer.
