$350 barn find

Thanks Andy, i am working on a list.

Steve Sept

Pile of parts on the way, hope to ride it before the snow flies.

Cleaning the frame and all the paint is original and really nice still.
The bike does not have many rides on it, but been in a few hard races perhaps.
Sat a long time, bearings in the brake pedal are stuck/seized lol

Wow, that frame is in great shape.

Wow it must of been sitting if the brake pedal bearings were siezed!

probably just washed with a blaster too many times

Both bearings were stuck, maybe he never used the brakes as they are like new still lol
Got a sweet tight drum on it, many are worn out from hard shoes you get lately.
Had the clutch apart, the pads on the discs have not made full contact yet. (brand new still)
repack on the swing arm bearings and gave it all a good cleaning, looks like new too.

amazing...

Nice linkage on the 89, grease niplle
bearings like new...

87-88 has them too

Nice to see its still there, as in they got carried away with other cheap parts. The pivot bolt is just a bolt for the swing arm.
Rear axle seems off in quality i will be useing the good stuff where i can on this adopted 1.

What brand of shock is that? A purple gas reservoir? Original right? A Marzocchi or WP or __?

WP shock

White power, not the best shock pehaps. I will find the good 1 for it.

thats sad to hear they dumbed a few things down..maybe because it was the swedes bike? the 91 2 strokes had a gun drilled swinger bolt with a zerk at each end, plus 2 zerks for the linkage. my 95 has 2 zerks for the linkage, and one for each swinger pivot.

the 91 also had wp stuff...the shock will sell on ebay for enough to buy an ohlins overhaul kit

I heard the kicker shaft will bend so i wont use that.
Its so like a knock off of the real deal.
I am tempted to do a better exhaust with 1 muffler and a nice merge in front of it for 2 pipes.
Who cares about factory correct on this one, im not set on it

that sucks, i would have had higher hopes for it, going byt the two stroke bikes, they had pretty much all good quality components. must be something about running out of the original swede parts/coming up with replacement type stuff. i have also heard about the kicker shaft issues.

Are you talking about kick start shaft issues ? I haven't heard of any and yes I have 2 510s and rode husky 4 strokes for a very long time.

One reason for less quality parts, may be that the Italians had run out of Swede parts by 89, and were transistioning to their designs.. Which take time. Actually the 510 four stroke disappeared for awhile after '89 - 90, didn't it?

It became a 610 in 91.

Yes
I heard it from some of the guys in the facebook group Friends of Husqvarna, lots of great guys in the group from all over
