• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Out of all the Japanese bikes I've ever ridden. The yzs I seem to adapt quickly to. And I've always (and to her face) compared my wife to a yz. Not the best at anything but simply good enough at everything to win the shootout!

did i ever tell u about the dream where my wife gave birth to a KTM dont ask me why never been a KTM man a husky or YZ yes butta KTM:eek:
 
i ve been testing the new 2015 YZs last sunday on a very narrow indoor mx track- it was by far the best suspension i ve ever ridden. regarding to the yamaha mechanic the WRs suspension will be re-valved but apart from that the same- first time in years they really do something to their bikes.
I did not like 4strokes the way the handle/behave but the YZ250F was so different to what i was used to... (i was recently testing a RMZ 450 2014, CRF250 2013, RMZ 250 2014. KTM SXF 350) but this was just so much better to me...
I ll be very curious how good the WRs really are when they are at the dealers.

I've only ever read good things about the YZ250F, hopefully the extra weight on the WR doesn't kill the feeling.

Next time you go ta sleep pard, I'd be looking fer the milk man and shake that boy down.
 
I'm not ready to part with my milk truck husky yet but I see the yz wr250r street/off road version for around $ 6,600. That's affordable.

I would like a cool looking on off road bike but I perfect a 2t. Having e start, desert gas tank, plus the popcorn sound getting intense when the front wheel comes up is only a thing the 2t can do.

On the other hand the new Yamaha does look awesome prices wise too.
My main thought when buying a new bike is how is getting parts? Is there a overnight or some kind of factory, manufacturer parts supply?

The discount place over in Albany NY for a 2015 wr250r is which I suspect is different than this thread is about $6690+295+65 plus sales tax once you go to motor vehicles in Ct. The 2014 is 5999++. I don't see the WR250F.
It is a shame it is so hard to get someone to pay attention to you when walking into a motorcycle/atv/utv/generator/etc shop even one that has a significant radio advertising budget.

Bike bandit and rocky mountain have the big 4 parts in exploded views and easy to order on line. They most likely can overnight stuff if you call in person. Acatually KTM is going back to listing their stuff on such sites. Not sure how wise this is for them as checking their parts for the last series of engine can be a bit shocking. I like to look at what is inside and see how tall the pistons are.
 
Just a 2T YZ250 with a working would be a start. Seems no decent options for a lighting coil on Yz's now.

It's the yz250f?

Yes, with off-road mods.
6th gear & wider ratios, electric leg, lights, side stand etc....
Same engine, cams, compression ratio, head, just different tuning & larger heavier starter-drive type flywheel & big ugly muffler.
They have added a lot of weight over the YZF but still keen to try one.
 
It's a wide ratio with a low first gear with the rest of the gear ratios being close. They said in the add. I hate that big can on all the four strokes. That's gotta go. They said it has programmable performance. With the optional switch on the handle bar or using the hand held tuner. Is there a yz450f that's the same bike with a bigger engine.
