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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Yamaha YZ250FX and WR250F 2015 all "new"

I'm thinking in maybe two months, I think the YZ 250 FX would be a great race bike. Here in the Victorian Offroad Championships there's a mix of 3 hour cross country races and sprint races, we also have some Enduro X and an Extreme Enduro. I think the YZ 250 FX would be the perfect bike for all of the different types of racing we have here.
 
At least here in the States they're offering an up-grade kit to the wr that includes a new ecu and it's supposed to be pretty cheap. Something like that sounds great -to have the ability to go between street/emissiona legal and race mode.
 
I don't think these's any legal versions coming from Yamaha, at least on the models being discussed here.

here is a good viddy of the new yz250fx it was the second race on this bike.I rode the am race and this is pm race lots of sun glare in the pm,two bad get offs for him and bike ! The bike seems tuff,the first crash is bad but the second one is a must see ! The vid quality gets better as time goes on enjoy..
 
They do look nice in the flesh. I really want to see a WR in person too. Just afraid I'll start thinking crazy things like trading my Husky
 
Spoke to a dude that other day that has one. He liked it a lot but said it is complicated and kinda hard to work on. That was his main gripe. Oh, he already bent his subframe. Said it was even a bitch to wash and he rides in a lot of mud. Said there are places everywhere to get mud in. Said the motor and handling were very good.
 
Buddy of mine just spoke with the owner of NCY here in SoCal. He's an accomplished off-road rider himself. Said the the WR, even with the different ecu and uncorked, was not as good as the FX for performance. Also said the WR was quite a bit heavier.......:(

Yeah I was afraid of that. Back on 2003 I went to buy a new WR250 and walked out with a YZF250. It was so much lighter it was silly. Was the right choice for me. Turned out to be a great bike. They did the same thing with the WR450 so not a surprise. The FX might be the ticket.
 
Thats not a tough bike if on first glance on a tree it rips off the side of radiator. Lucky the core wasnt damaged! The blokes quick gotta give him that an i like the rad shrouds curling back in... As for mud when its new use gorilla tape on joints between plastics n subframe then silicone sprey the daylight out of everything, usually its a hose down job no jet washer then a hot soapy bucket sponge n brush to get niggly bits.

Damn, so jealous.

I wish we could ride without registration in the bush like you guys. If I get one of these beasts, it'll have to be the WR with all the extras.... sad now.
 
I like fact wr's have softer suspension with the black fx box mod sounds like a very capable platform.
Seriously tempted to squirrel monies away for the yamaha fx-mass
