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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TXC250 in the sand

Sorry I thought the OP was talking about riding in heavy sandy areas. I am talking about deep sand. Not "sandy" trails.

My TXC is awesome in sandy, loamy trails. Whoops are no issue and as another poster mentioned clutch managment can allow you to overcome any bottom end weakness. But I found that as soon as I hit an area with deep sand the motor just did not have the grunt to pull hard. I rode the same sections on a 450EXC and it just destroyed the sand. No issues.

Well then, you just have the wrong kind of "stroke" 250. Get a two stroke 250 and all those low end problems will disappear.:D
 
For real sand, like sand dunes, there is no replacement for displacement. I hated my YZ250 in the sand. Yes i had a paddle and rich jetting, still had to ride pinned everywhere. My 04 TE450 was much better and a CR/KX500 even better. Buddy with a YZ470 with a bunch of motor work floats on the sand and is great fun. Need huge power for sand.
