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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Xmas early - 2010 TE250 in the house

So I finally did it. I'm now a husky owner with a new 2010 te250. On its first test ride around the block, it does feel light but after weighing it (on a bathroom scale) it tops around 253lbs stock. I will be bringing home some work racing scales and re weigh it for a more precise weight.

The power up kit came with the lamdba sensor plug and jumper, a 50 tooth rear gear to replace the 40 tooth stock gear and a new longer chain and clip. A new air filter basket. It has some pipe that I'm still not sure what it is for but it looks like it belongs in the muffler some place. The only weird thing is the bike did not come with the hand guards like the 2010 450 and 510's but the deal is checking on that.

It will be hard to wait till break in is over to put the power up stuff on.

That does seem kind of heavy. I'll be curious to know what you come up with on a more accurate scale, though. Congrats on the new bike :thumbsup:

well thats not too bad with 14 pounds of fuel,lot of extra weight between the TC coming in at 218 and the TEs weight,18 in wheel,horn,directionals,wiring,front and rear lights,brake switches,all adds up

just got my new trail rider mag with the new husaberg 390 and they list it at 251 without fuel! just basic lights on it,add 14 to the husaberg,then put guards on it and your talking a pretty heavy bike as well
 
Hey Doug did you balance the bike and record the weight or did you leave it on the side stand? Wondering how much difference there would be?
:cheers:


PS. Nice Ride.:thumbsup:
 
I bet the street legal stuff and especially those Karoo tires add 10lbs of weight to the bike. Yank off the emission crap, cat converter and put on a set of real tires and weigh it again. I am sure that rear Karoo weighs almost 18lbs compared to 11 for an S12.
