• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

1972 WR250 the beginning

I use assembly Lube throughout
Link rollers on the shift forks?
Shift Drum in 4th gear(I think)? I see the shift drum detent not fully threaded home.
Shift selector gear( not installed in this photo) 2teeth showing left and one tooth showing right?
It is near impossible to shift thru the gears without the right case half on.
I have put the trans in without the crank to test operation
BUT taking it apart and installing the crank is a head banger, but can be done. That being said.
You just have to trust your installation is to the book. You shouldn't have any issues as long as the parts are good and the assembly is to the book.
Great luck!!
 
I'm a little confused about the selector gear part, as the manuals seem to skip this and just show the pic of the 2 teeth / 1 tooth requirement. Do I put it in after I have the drum positioned correctly (between 4th & 5th gear)? I had one manual that said to start the drum in 3rd gear and then rotate to 4/5, which I attempted, w/out success :mad:
 
The 5 speed transmission requires the shift drum to be in 3rd gear when installing the step feeder so that it has two teeth visible above the drum and one tooth below.

I don't know what rotating the drum to 4/5 would do and don't remember it being a necessary step in setting the shifting timing.

As long as all the drum detent pin and all the gears and shifting forks are in correct order and oiled up you should be able to shift the gears with the cases open using a wrench on the flat area at the end of the shifting shaft while rocking the input or output shaft back and forth. :thumbsup:

FYI, the six speed transmission requires the shift drum to be in 4th gear when setting the step feeder timing to 2 teeth/one tooth.

Thanks Crash! Mine is a 5-speed, so did I put the drum in the right spot and engage the step feeder to drum gear at the 2/1 teeth?

Sorry about that
My memory is not good with the 5 speed.
But follow the book

Trust me, I've have parts left over on the bench after assembling an engine and had to split the cases 5 mins later. Somebody once called it being human. I think all the cuss words that followed is being human too.
