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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1982 420AXC transmission fluid

Isn't there a little plug on the side somewhere that you remove and fill until the level is that high with the bike perfectly vertical? The later 500 and 430 liquid cooled hold less as I recall.
 
we tip 1000 cc in ours . based on what the sweed told us . 1000 cc of oil can cool down 20% faster than 1200 cc can given the same cooling area .
yes it also heats up faster but this is almost a bonus

also most oil comes in a 1 litre bottle haha

our has been run on and is running AGIP 7.5 wt fork(suspension) oil

basically you want the non slipperiest oil you can get that will wet the parts .so no modifiers is best .

Your 420AXC looks very nice and looks to be mostly original. Looks like someone has changed the 35mm forks out and installed the 40mm's. The back tire looks original, does it have the Husky gun sight logo on the knobs? Do you know the history of this 420?

Yes the bike is a very low hour original. I am not an expert in the Husky's but I didn't realize that the 82's still had the 35mm forks? I thought they were all up to 40's by then? This is a one owner bike that was hardly ridden before being put away for most of its life. I have the statement of origin and bill of sale from the purchase back in 83'

Yes I just looked up the specs and it came with 35mm forks originally. I'm glad the previous owner upgraded!
 
Change out rear tire save it worth big $ Save front also.
You don't know what you have it's worth BIG$
Keep it out of the mud. In fact get it running blast it down a nice straight so can see haw it works then paint the pipe and clean it then put it away.
It belongs in a glass show case.
Look for another one to ride.

Thanks George! I appreciate the info! I've already got different tires on it too. I fire it up once and a while just to listen to it. Maybe rip it around the back yard now and then but that's it.
