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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Two new offroad 250F's from Yamaha for 2015

Any word on fuel tank size? Yamaha is introducing a few new models this year (new r300 sportbike). Good for them on expanding and trying to reel ktm back in. Awesome platform to start with

And this. Love the fact that you can use the Power Tuner to set the ECU.
Not being able to do this on my TE449 is that drove me nuts!

Is the power tuner free with the bike? Dont think so. In that case you could buy a PCV and tune your 511 for about the same money and have many more features to tune with.

I loved my '02 YZ250 smoker in the woods. Bought if from Kelly pretty much all setup. Was amazed by the handling, felt like it would run circles around my '04 KTM 250 EXC smoker. It's too bad they don't offer a serious, modern, offroad 2 stroke line and are leaving it all to KTM and a few other small players. I guess the bean counters have determined the market is just not there.

In the vid, I think he mentions its an optional accessory. Still, even if its a semi-spendy accessory, at least its a factory accessory, so hopefully it will work well right out of the box (not that the aftermarket tuners don't work out of the box, I really don't know anything about then).

Even if they jump back into the market i bet it would be hard to get a good piece of the market. Most offroad riders now seem to just like the idea of owning a euro bike.

That is true but, there have been a few dealers that will throw it one to sweeten a deal over here, and you can share a unit with a buddy who has a YZ/WR as well.
The main point I was making is that it IS tunable ex-factory, not locked.
