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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1980 WR Motoplat wiring

So I'm working on rebuilding a hacked wiring harness on a 80 WR 250. What is the intended purpose of the white lead coming from the stator? It seems to have the same output as the yellow lighting lead.
 
Thanks!! Thats what I thought, but wanted to make sure.

Anyone know the bulb number for the OE headlight? So far I've tried a H4 P43T 35/35W and a 6245BA 45/45W with no luck. Maybe a H4 P45T? I can't seem to find that in 35/35W... I also need a white light insted of the OE yellow as it will be ridden some on the street.
 
Just been to look at my spare bulbs. There does not seem to be anything to tell me the type.
They have two flat tangs on the body. One is slightly wider than the other. I tried 35/35w in mine, but there is not enough output to run that and the stop/tail (21/5w) with the AC horn. We need all of that in the UK ! I opted for a 25/25 headlamp bulb
and a battery operated horn from a mountain bike.
I thought one of the wires from the Motoplat was for the kill switch ??
