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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Wide Ratio Trannys

Anyone know if Husky currently makes any 4-T bikes with a wide ratio tranmission? My 09 TE310 has gears that are a brutally close. Nice if your just riding off road. Not too good as a DS.
 
Currently, no dirtbikes. The 610/630 was wide.

I read that Husky may be offering gears to make an overdrive 6th type gearing in 2012 special parts cats. You'd have to split the cases. Maybe that will happen-I know many would like it!

Personally on my 09TE450, one thing that drew me to that bike was the close ratio gearing and short stroke combo- for offroad. But the 450 gives a bit more leg than the X-lite's tranny motor combo. I don't need to go higher speeds than I do. Least not for longer than I do already. I know I often can pull away from a KTM EXC when it matters- by the time they catch up its time to hit the brakes/turn anyway. They'd have me if everything was a straight line for a longer time though. It suits me personally is all I am saying. BUT I think I'd like a overdrive 6th on a 250/310 xlite- probably have a hard time saying no to that.
 
Yes all I need is a sixth gear that's an over drive and a slightly taller 5th. In the tight stuff I like to ride around in second and third gear, reserving first for only those situations where I'm virtually standing still.
 
I would like to have a sixth gear for my TC250, not sure I am ready to split cases though! Do hope we are given the option.

One can only hope and prey that maybe...just maybe there's an Italian Engineer over in Varese who looks at this website or maybe
the Husky section on TT (or "that other site" as some call it) and finally says to himself "ENOUGH ALREADY ! THAT'S ALL I EVER HEAR IS
WE WANT WIDER GEARING" then he reports to work the next day,sits down at the drawing board (or computer) and reconfigures 5th and 6th
to stretch em' out a bit, presents it to his boss who likes the idea, commends him for taking the initiative and says "make it so, number one."
One can only dream.............
 
I'd be all over a taller 6th for my 250!

I'm sure the TE 6 speed will drop right in the TC cases.

I might even be able to find an extra 6 speed trans.
