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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Why Should I Buy A Husky Wr 300?

Yes, it was worth it. I really like the power delivery and the way I fit on the bike. Honestly I can't even tell theres a 1 inch seat hieght differance from my old bike and the kick starter doesnt feel awkward at all. The only thing I fault is the shifter. The peg on the shifter feels short like it wants to slip off my toe.

30 bucks and an email to Motosportz will fix that! The Driven shifter has a longer peg. Much better imo.

HaHa, I told my wife the same thing, feeling like a bank robber. There are some good deals on the left over 2010 WR's. Just gotta search and make an offer, you never now what might happen. The WR300 I just bought last week was at a Honda dealer. They picked it up from a Husky dealer that went under (unfortunatley) and have been sitting on it for awhile. I made an offer and now this puppy is sitting in my garage :) right beside my son's pumpkin... and my RM
 
You went from Dunnigan ca to southern Oregon and back by 3pm on the same day? With family?

my 09 300 is just such a no brainer. I had a ktm 525 before this bike and it felt cramped to me. I am 5 11 and I could never quite feel comfortable on it. The Husky however I INSTANTLY felt comfortable. Another thing I really like is just how easy it is to work on and how simple the old school tech is. I ride almost every weekend in the cascade mtns and beat it to hell and the harder I ride the thing the better it seems to run. Suspension and handling and power I thought comperable to my friends 2009 KTM 300 but my bike was almost half the price and hella simpler to work on.

I ride such tight single track I rarely get it out of 3rd gear so not having 6 gear hasnt been to big an issue. The only two complaints I have...theres still no aftermkt oversized gas tank specifically for my bike. You can buy one for an 06 txc(I believe) but theres a inch and a half gap between the frame and tank. Kind of goofy solution and awkward if you ask me. And secondly I thought the cable clutch pull sucked so I bought a aftermkt hydraulic clutch. Alltogether I am happy with my decision. Bikes been indestructable so far. Just my un scientific opinon.

I now know what you are talking about. My bike came with an IMS. and I see the huge gap. I see huge potential for better ergonomics and more gas storage with a spaecific tank. Has anyone ever try talking with IMS to build a better tank? Back in 07 when I was building my wife's sx 105 for offroad there was alot of people that complained about not having an over size tank for that bike and, somebody from KTMTALK started a thread and wrote to IMS about building a Tank for the 105. Pretty soon they were making one. I sure if we get enough poeple that want an oversize tank that fits and looks good it might be worth looking into.:thinking:
 
Whats the average range for a 2010 WR300 stock fuel tank? Our X/C's usually consist of 2 loops at 40-50 miles a piece. A fuel fill up at the beginning of the second loop.
 
40-50 miles is fine on the stock tank for xc trails. I have done quite a few rides 50+ miles on the stocker and no reserve. I hit reserve at about 58 miles on a trail ride.
 
I've done 60 in technical woods and 70 miles in the dez with a stock 09' wr300.

Nice choice of bikes****************************************
I love mine.
