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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So I lacked until this point to check exactly what model I have. I just found out I have an xc and not a Wr/cr can someone enlighten me on some specifications or a website. I can't seem to find one with the specs. And does anyone know what carb I'll need. I thought I saw it was a 38 mm but I want to be sure as I'm going to re do the bike and make it look nice again.
 
XCs are long travel CR suspension on a WR frame [bash bars under the motor rear fender loop non full floating rear brake ] not real sure on the motor differences on the 125 but the bigger bores are a mix to the only thing they get thats theirs is a middle weight flywheel and a warp drive 6th gear and unless you plan to stay pinned in the top two gears i would throw that 38 in the bottom drawer for a different project if it was mine i would try a 34 maybe even a 32 if it was a Lectron

It's an 83 and I enjoy the bike. I'm not giving it up not after everything it's done. The bike runs and does so pretty well. I just need to know carb size. And 9/10 times I'm usually either not past 4th on a trail or full speed down the road
 
Ohh I know what your saying. It flew over my head. So I'll f I go with mikuni you think 34 mm?
 
The carb doesn't run well. And it's been cleaned multiple times. It's a mikuni. But I don't know what size.
 
Xc is wr gearing, with cr suspension. You need the check the primary gear ratios and the final drive sprocket ratios.
 
Some of the gear ratios are different between the cr and wr. Go to the tech spec area and look at the next page on the 125's it gives the teeth numbers and ratios.
 
The bike came with a 38mm but it needs a smaller one. The problem is the smallest size in the same physical body is a 36mm which is what the 84+ 125 came with. I have used a 34mm which works even better but it is not a direct bolt on like the 36mm because the body size and the OD of the spigots are smaller and require you to make adapter/spacers.
 
So if I went down to a 36. It would bolt right on. But if I decided I want a 34mm I would have to build and adapter or find one to connect it to the motor. And I understand that it needs a smaller one. It dumps gas into the motor and the motor isn't mov My Fast enough to clear it out. I don't know if that's the reason my bike takes for ever to hit the power band or if it's the fact that the xc take forever or whatever the reason.
 
And if you guys know a place I can buy a 38-34mm adapter for a mikuni 34. Please link it I'd like to run the bike with the carb I need
