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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I's seems I've been down this road before. Just got this 430 from the original owner and like last time, it's a mess. Primary clutchs gone, second gear and third gear shoes matted over grooves and broken springs. I hope to think that by now I would of learned.:banghead: I'm having a littlte buyer's remorse, but I always try to look at the glass as half full. It's complete and all original except for the rear fender.Picture 436.jpgPicture 437.jpgPicture 443.jpg

It would appear by the galled primary shoes that the wrong oil may have been used.
The second/third gear drum appears to have minimal wear. I'm hoping I will be able to clean up the 2nd/3rd gear shoes. The sprag bearings appear to be good but haven't taken them out to visually inspect them yet.

Ya, I got even more surprises as I was taking the rest of the bike apart. Luckily I didn't sell you all my spares last time around. I've got a complete spare motor that's good with new piston/ring, all new primarys, new 2nd/3rd gear drum and spings.I plan on riding my last build alot this fall when it cools off. I would like to get one of your primary spring covers?

Are you talking to me about the springs cover ?
I made them now out of 1 mm inox and 3 screws ( with loctite) to keep the cover locked.
The holes in aluminium tend to be ovalised.
But the cover is grinding a little the springs.
Next evolution ? Holes in the cover to let move the springs or plastic cover ?

Yes Michel, You have done all the R&D. I liked the one that was held on by the crank nut.
 
Auto riders soon learn about snapping off the rear guard,easy to wheely,even easier to flip.

You seems to have a 4 stroke radiator ( more cooling) and a 2 stroke radiator.
What is the grey bottle between the 2 radiators ?

The original owner said, when he first bought the bike it would over heat. He took it back to the dealer and they installed the lager radiator and it never over heated again.
The grey bottle is an overflow bottle, just like on a car. Both of my autos have them.

About the springs cover hold by the crank nut , I bought it with the motor.
I think you need a press to twist the steel sheet.
The other is a copy I made from these made by Fabrice.
The last is made from the copy of Fabrice. I tried to let move the little springs ( pawls springs).
