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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What the heck is up with this KTM pipe?

Comments say it is for a 15hp version for learners OR is for street legal status in some countries. Whatever it is it is ugly and sticks out a long ways.

That the freeride? Supposed to be for torque not top end. The free ride i thought doesnt have powervalves either.
 
Such a shame they went to all the trouble to make it shiny so it can get beat to death. If I know them, it's designed to last a few hours and be replaced. I mean, ya can't blame them. They go and make a simple, reliable platform and realize that they won't get much income with replacement parts. :doh:

Solution...Ahhh ve make zee exxxxpansion shhhamber head pipe easy to smoosh, no? YAAAAA!
 
It looks like KTM puts that goofy pipe on their new "6 days" enduro line. The gopro does add it's own distortion and I'm having a hell of a time finding a non distorted picture to link. There is one on the KTM site: http://www.ktm.com/enduro/300-exc-six-days/highlights.html#prettyPhoto. The one pictured there has a pipe guard on it.

I'm interested to learn the reasoning behind it as they claim this bike is "ready to race" so I imagine it has some performance benefit. :excuseme:
 
You can tell ive never bought a new bike... Still ugly lol.
The gnarly on my wr sticks out either side like a chrome boa on the front of my bike. Same width as rads that are up out of the way seeimage.jpg
 
All the Huskys and Ktms come to the UK fitted with that pipe ! Its even fitted wth a cat, I have a few laying around that I use for the brackets / flanges ect, Mike at Husky Sports gives me as many as I want. Bikes fitted with the things run like the airbox has a pillow stuffed in it :D
