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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Would like to discuss Husky TE310 & TE450, years 2007-2013

Just got a 2013 TE310R and uncorked it. Absolutely love the bike but will be the first to admit it will never be a good dual sport or open terrain bike. Gearing is way to close and any sprocket choice is a compromise one way or the other. Currently running a 13 - 46 or 12 - 46 depending on conditions. Was the best way I could come up with to quickly change for different rides. Not something you would want to do on the trail but easy enough before you head out. For our type of riding (Rocks and roots) it is awesome. Think a Rekluse is in its future as well.
 
I just paid $5600 plus tax for a NEW 2014 TE310R in SoCal. In my opinion, $4500 is too high for an 09, even if it had 0 miles.
 
I purchased a 2012 left over Husky TE 310 a few months back. I have owned a lot of bikes and the Husky has been my favorite. This is my first enduro or dual sport bike (I've owned nothing but motocross bikes in the past) and I love this machine!! It handles better than any bike I have ever owned and is the most well balanced bike I have ever ridden. It is extremely well balanced in the air and you can wheelie this thing forever. I owned a 2005 Husky TC 250 and hated the way it ran, extremely gutless for a 250F. I actually bought that bike on a Friday and sold it on Sunday I hated it that much. I'm not regretting the purchase of this bike one bit. Power everywhere I want it and it doesn't wear you out.

The 450/510 motor is rock solid stone reliable.

Stay with a carb from 06-07 bike if you want true reliability. If you like to trouble shoot electrical gremlins in the forest alone then get a efi model. The fuel injector fails, there are chafing issues if you have an oversized tank, there are fuses you need to bring on every ride...just in case...again.
In the handling department the 2008-2010 chasis is worlds better than the 2005-2007 years.
Now if I could get the carbed 510 into a 2009 frame without all those shitty efi wires and plugs, I would not have purchased a Beta.

Sorry to hear you had all these problems.Only fuel pump problems with my 2008 model .Its old and the EFI isnt like newer models but it rips and is exciting to ride.Was the EFI "improved"on the 2009 model?
