• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 YZ300E 2 Stroke ?

The only things I could find were the GYTR bolt on 300 kit and some references of people building them up.

My Italian, itsa nota so good.
 
i was searching the web already for more information but did not find anything yet... hopefully its true and they will build something like that.
i remember the time when it was only a rumor about the backward engine 450... - and they did it!
 
Here's some translation ..


So I got this picture, I contacted my guru on two wheels, my good friend Thiago Motovideo, who commented that a friend had already talked about this model, and is well able to exist even! From what I saw in some photo details, the bike is European, and that means that hardly arrived here in Brazil, but if he does exist, hope is the last to die! "This bike will be a Bombril, we will walk the track in cross in the enduro, I want one, if you know of someone who will bring you tell me the price I am candidate! "said Fred FR Motorcycle! If you look coldly, Yamaha is really opening up its range and trying to regain its lost ground. This year we had two amazing releases, the wr250 4 times and the YZ250X only for the US market, when I saw the photos of YZ300E, not scared, I see that they are moving, and I'm sure will gain market! After the pronouncement of 2015 new wr250, I get on average about 5 flights per week to know about the bike, it will be a best seller when you arrive in Brazil! Hugs to all, now we can only hope!​

Cannondale did the backward engine first,back in 2001.
 
I assume the E in YZ300E is for Enduro? If that's the case, I'd actually consider putting my Husky WR250 up for sale -- if the YZ300E isn't as expensive as a KTM, that is.
 
If I was back in the states, meaning I'd have a job and probably more Huskies than I could count. I'd buy everyone you guys tossed :) No parts and ancient design ...That bike is low low priced if you can even sell it.

Why would a rider want a backwards facing engine?

The translated words from that page sound more like a conversation than something real.

Does it work? I have no clue. It's the same goal every engineer has, simple things like undertail exhaust, engine layout, swingarm length, manufacturing materials, frame geometry, and gas tanks under the seat. It's why they say a 300 2 stroke feels heavier a 250 even though they weigh the same. The term is thrown around everywhere in motorsports, mass centrilization
 
I'm all in favor of more choices for us. The YZ has a proven positive track record much like most Yamaha engines so it would be cool and Like Kelly mentioned above, they just came out with the 250FX so it seems Yamaha isn't happy sitting and watching the Europeans swallow up all the Enduro riders anymore. A 250 and 300 2T with a lighting coil/lights, side stand and a WR gearbox sounds dreamy to this old guy.:popcorn:
 
Good bikes but agree, not very exciting and very middle of the road handling feel. I do like them but have a hard time getting excited to ride one.
 
Would just be great to see Yamaha get back to its enduro roots. Remember when you could choose between an IT 175, 200, 250, or 490 all within a couple of model years apart?
