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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Welcome to the forum! Introduce yourself here!

Hei there,

im currently on a 250 ktm, but now i decided to have a look at the 125 bikes. My Fahter is swedish and has lived in Huskvarna for a while. Also those Red-White Bikes just look insanely nice, so i thought i have a look at them. I hope they perform as well as they look:)
So here i am.
Greetings from Switzerland.
 
I don't have a Husky, but a KTM. I've looked at them, but so far cannot afford one at this time.
I originally was directed here to read some reviews on the Motoz tyres, which I now run and think are great.

I'm in Port Angeles, so I can ride 2 miles to the trails behind my house- having a plated and (mostly) legal bike is really handy.

2004 450 EXC
2005 Ducati Multistrada 1000 'S' (modified)
2005 Lotus Elise
1970 OSSA Pioneer (for sale)
1968 Benelli Dynamo Trial (first bike I ever rode)
 
Hi there from Au,
I've just purchased a '00 WR125 for my 14 year old son. Big step up from his XR80!
We took off this weekend to Louee for his first ride and he loved it! Had some issues with the tall seating position, I'm now looking for a lowering link and 12 tooth front sprocket as the first mods....any advice is welcome.
Cheers, JM.

Welcome to Cafe Husky, ridehusky, I guess a 510 is a must in the Cal desert. Love to get there some day.

What can I say I am a Husky man through and through....

I raced MX in 80's (all on Huskys) which was a challenge in itself... I had to stop due to my job at that time but still kept my last Husky.... 1985 500.

Due to a trip recently to MX event and seeing older guys than me racing I thought that's it... rebuild the 500 and have some fun......
 
Hi Guys. I've been reading the site for a couple of months now and the 2 stroke threads went a long way to making the decision on a WR300. I've had for 7 weeks and the last 3 it has been back at the dealers waiting for a warranty claim approval.

Anyway the site looks great and there is a lot of info here. Look forward to chatting and learning more about 2 strokes (and other Husky related stuff).

I live in NSW Australia.

I also have a Sherco 5.1 that I'm keeping for motarding and trail riding while the Husky sits in the shop.

Cheers
Mal.

Welcome aboard Husky 37. Yes definitely rebuild that big beast. The mid 80's 500 are some of my favorite bikes of all time. I keep looking around for the right restoration project.:thumbsup:

Hi Vic, welcome to the Cafe. Funny how once you get a infusion of Husky blood you never really get it out of you're system. The 84 250 that I had left an indelible mark on my soul.:cheers:

Welcome aboard. What happened to your 300? Mine's been bulletproof.
 
Hello. My name is Mark Grant. I am a motorcycle enthusiast. I own a small shop and just had the pleasure of getting to know a 2008 TE450. I really like these bikes and would like to be able to ask some general questions and such.

I was riding on a tar road on the way to some tracks at about 90km/h and backed off slighty for a corner then rolled the throttle on and nothing happened. I pull the clutch in and the engine had stopped.

When the dealer pulled the barrel off they found the bore to be heavily scored and the rings looked good. So now waiting for the importer to make a decision.

Before this happened it was a great bike. Lug it up hills and in the tight stuff or scream down the fire trail.
