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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

  • 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Austria - About 2014 & Newer
     TE = 2st Enduro & TC = 2st Cross

TE/TC The best bike I've ever owned! 2019 Husqvarna tx 300

Fletch, can you really tell the TM has an aluminum frame when you ride it? I don't notice anything bad about it like I experienced on a YZ or the horrible older CR Honda 2 stroke. Also the 2020 TM is available with a carb and I'm in agreement with about preferring the carb over FI... at least until they get the TPI performing better, even then it adds $400 to the price of a TM. I've heard that TM already has their FI sorted better than KTM

I do wish my 2017 en300 was counterbalanced like the newer TMs but other than that it's the best bike I've ever ridden.
 
Lankydoug I only had the 12 tm amd rode the 19 for a short time...I want to want the tm for numorous reasons.. it's hot...Italian hot...not normal... boutique..not a yz.. not related to orange...and so many reasons..the frame I think does feel more Ridgid but to me the 12 gave great rider feedback..when I was fresh the thing was awesome..when I got tired the bike would try to hurt you! The better shape your in and the harder you pushed the 12 it rewarded you..resale sucks where a tx 300 where I live is like gold..the 19 I looked at had a few issues..dragging clutch? Clutch pull fair .. in-between a beta and a husky (9mm slave I guess fixes that) mushy front brakes..air? Dealer installed decals...a 10k bike should for sure have lock on grips..in mold graphics .and please a rubber strap for the sidestand..I wish I could afford one of each..if I went tm I would definitely get the mx 300 light weight and electric start! I've rarely been loyal to anything in my life, but that crown has had me for years no matter who owns it..and while the ktm husky doesn't come with vforce reeds or fmf exhaust..it does come with great quality control and the bike just works..resale is great.. the ktm jokes have finally ended.. maybe the frame is my excuse..but I think it is a little stiffer then a steel frame. .

and i re-re- decided to just keep on riding the 2017 TX300...she only has 130 hours...… my 14 had close to 230 when I sold it. the capability far exceeds my skill level anyway. notable will be a testing stage of a new suspension set up. both ends of mine are OEM stock, but I run higher air pressure and have 2 rate higher rear spring all else oem valve stacks

I have a 17 TX300 with a .48 rear spring and plan to use your chart for the air pressure this weekend. I've been running quite a bit higher in the front and mostly have no complaints except occasional deflection on roots and hidden stumps. Hopefully lowering the pressure and adjusting the clickers will clean that up. Did you leave the mapping switch plugged in?
Thanks,
Tim
