hoping that weighted flywheel will swap right into my 07 TC
wish i had that damn oil sight window too.
From what I can gather from the specs, a TXC is a TC that is cross-country oriented: wide ratio, lighting system, flywheel mass, etc. It is a TC with a few parts changes, unlike the TE, which is FI, e-start, smaller forks, softer suspension, bigger tank, DOT stuff, etc.
Pretty spot on there. TC top end, TE gearbox, 50mm forks, new improved Sachs shock, new frame and sub frame, 18" rear wheel, same lighting coil, ES. Not street legal that I'm aware of (?) Designed as a USA model only, but that could change with a drop of a dime.
Aimed for the cross country, enduro, GNCC, desert, baja racing crowd and those that wanted more pep from their TEs, but not nesscessarily a TC for off roading.

This off of the Husqvarna.it website:
TC and USA TXC models feature the new Marzocchi 50mm forks with new sealed pumping element, while for TE models, forks come without the sealed cartridge. The bodywork is all new, having a fuel tank equipped with fuel pump for Enduro injection models, with 8 litres capacity. New is also the tank cap, easier to open. All Motocross and Enduro models will have new “fatbar” Tommaselli and new handlebar clamps.
250, 450 and 510 Enduro engines adopt a fuel injection system developed in collaboration with Mikuni. Motocross engines are with carburettors. Enduro and Motocross models have both a new kick start system, but TE models are also equipped with electric starter. The engines have been improved to be more functional and have better reliability thanks to the use of a new valve lifting system, new chain tensioner, and clutch basket.New are the exhaust systems that are now positioned on the left hand side of the motorcycle.Even the engine's look has been revised. Black mat paint for the crankcase, aluminium colour for both cylinder and head, valve cover in "racing red".
The tank has been modified and is mounted both on Motocross and Enduro models. The rear suspension is completely new, with a brand new link, new swingarm and a new offset Sachs shock absorber, revised for new progression. The new rear suspension has been designed with the intent of reducing the load on the frame which is lower by 40% compared to 2007 models.The new shock absorber has an 18mm piston in place of the previous 16mm type, with more oil flow thereby offering improved adjustability. New is the sub frame, reducing by 1 kilo the assembly of rear frame, seat and new airbox. The new design of frame/suspension allows for a straight air inlet duct with notable benefits in terms of air intake.
The frame is a semi-perimeter steel structure having oval and box tubes and a steering angle between 26° and 28°. The advantages of this new frame are that it permits a very advanced riding position with ergonomics designed to make riders of varying statures better fit into the ideal riding position, both while sitting and standing on the footpegs. Steering “stoppers” are new and positioned on the frame. Footrests have been moved forward by 15 mm. The aluminium engine guards and frame guards have also been redesigned to be more compact and light.
