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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My buddy has a 1984 wr 400 water cooled, twin shocks, drum brakes. He used the engine out of it years ago in a 1987 auto. My question is, will a engine out of a 1983 or earlyer, air cooled bolt up in this frame and if it will does anybody have one for sale. thanks
 
On wrlc motor the exhaust cylinder is in the middle. On aircooled the exhaust is a little on the left on the left. You'll have problems.
 
Thanks for the info. it save us a lot of time on trying this. Leadvillehusky, may have found one, but may get hold of you if not. Thanks all

84 wr 400

OK, we know now that a 83 engine won't work in a 84 frame, but will a 86 wr 400 engine work in a 84 frame. Both are water cooled, but the 84 is twin shocks as the 86 is single shock. Will the motor mounts be the same. thanks:excuseme:
 
swingarm axles are different sizes.86 being a larger diameter.you will have to press out the case bushings from the 84 engine and press them in the 86 engine. I have an 84 wr400 engine in an 86 430 auto chassis and thats all i had to do. everything else bolts right up.
