The current generation of 4-strokes are so much better than what was offered back in the 80s and 90s and in the top end run very much like the old 2-strokes. It sounds like the low end bog is a recurring theme even with the older models like mine. My TE has enough power to get the job done in most situations I get into and my only gripe is that it takes 15 minutes to warm up fully. But that may be because I haven't tinkered with the carb jetting yet.Husky has done everything else right by us in the looks department, but for some reason has switched from red to black on the cylinder head and hose connectors.
The TE uses a small fan to help keep things cool.Husqvarna is the first to offer a real 250cc dirt bike that is street legal. 57.8-inch wheelbase and the same double-cradle steel chassis as the TXC make it a quick-handling, agile mount. The closed-cartridge 48mm fork is new for Husqvarna rather than the Marzocchi unit previously used on TE models. The chassis and suspension encourage aggressive riding and the new Kayaba/Sachs suspension is a welcome addition. The fork has less bottoming resistance than on the TXC, likely due to the extra weight.A six-speed transmission gives a little extra leg room, though we argued about whether a gearing adjustment could make up for the lack of bottom end. The motor uses titanium valves operated by dual overhead cams. A 79 x 50.9 bore and stroke pump out power that is definitely best on the top end. Electric start is mandatory these days in our opinion and the Husky system works well. It also comes with a kickstarter for you masochists and paranoids.
