Looking at various older Husky's and came across a few bikes of this era. Just wondering how getting parts for them is compared to earlier or later Husky's. The first few years of the Cagiva built bikes seems to be in a grey area, forgotten, and info is hard to find. Anyone have opinions on these bikes, and what I should look for Thanks
Went on a couple long rides years ago (mid 90's) with a guy who had a highly modified '91 610. He said it was the lighter motocross model and was a 5spd. I rode it and it was WAY faster and lighter feeling than my then newer '95 610. It had not so good White Power suspension and weak brakes, but the engine, which he said had the full Uptite treatment: piston, porting, pipe, cam, etc., was bad ass. I would think parts availability would be a downside, but the engine should be pretty similar to the more common '92 and up. My only issue with these was the powerful but fragile SEM ignitions. George at Uptite would know everything about them I'm sure. I see some stuff pop up on ebay, but rarely. DC plastics lists a few items https://www.dcvmx.com/xcart/home.php.
'90 is still a 510. Most parts still crossover to Swedish Huskys. No 350 and 610 until '91. The '91 bikes are one year only models and were totally redone for '92, so some specific parts are hard to find.
I ended up buying a one owner 91 350 WXE. Everything is there in good working condition (except for the rear tail light assembly) and all the decals are intact. Highly original and not hacked or bodged. I like that it still looks like the Swedish bikes, a transitional bike: the last of, the first of, the only of!!
Hall-Cycles.com They are in Springfield, IL and have amazing stock of a crazy number of years of Husky parts not to mention they are great to work with. I (along with many of my friends) have been dealing with them for well over 20 years and have never had a bad experience. Good luck! Go Husqvarna My favorite Husky was my 92 WXE 360, man I wish I still had it.
