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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

very surprised

i came off a ktm 525 that was very trick and very fast. A few years ago i saw the husky tc and thought it looked great but was afraid it would suck, well 3 months ago i just went out and bought one and i am so so so so so stoked with it and im not just saying that cuz i bought one, if it sucked i would say so but it is awsome
 
Very nice... I have had the opportunity to ride two very well set up KTM 525's ....an 07 and an 08.... I'll take my TC450 over either one... they just don't feel right to me...

Nice to hear ascot and I especially like your comment that if it sucked I would say so. What year was your 525? and what is it about the husky that makes it better? I am just thinking on my own account the few 525's I have ridden, I loved the motor but did not feel safe with the front end.
 
heh.. just noticed that this is in the Have You Seen forum where it explains how to use the new forum software..

I'll move it over to the Main forum..
 
I ride with KTMs a lot. If you look at their rear wheel you will notice that they kick a lot in ruts etc. The kick is usually with a left or right bias not just up or down. The feel is not brilliant when you first ride them. I believe the lack of a linkage is directly attributable to this. Also the two stokes are more inclined to kick than the 4 burners-might be weight related.
