• 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     WR = 2st Enduro & CR = 2st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st 2 Stroke wish list for 2013

We all know that 2t development has been little to none in the last few years (for all brands) so I thought let's list changes we would like to see Husky make when they do their next big redesign.

I'd like to see a DI 200 with a 6 speed that because of the DI better emissions a street legal version could be made as an option. If I couldn't have that then a 6th gear overdrive added to the WR250 would be nice. (Having grown up riding a 6 speed 125 I keep trying to shift one more time)
 
I will make mine short and sweet.....300 cc with e-start and a 6-spd wide ratio trans. Please let me know when it arrives and I will promptly pick it up!:cheers:
 
Being that there's over 6200 folks using this site, maybe it's time to put those numbers to good use;

Create some sort of a poll of desired wants on the 2t line, have coffee send an email blast to all registered users urging them to participate in the poll & tell their friends.
Send poll results to Husky NA, AU and BMW..........

Crazy idea??

A DI 6 speed wider ratio 200cc would fit the bill here; 125 lightness, 300cc grunt, 4t fuel economy.
 
realistically....250 and 300 into the newer style frame. 6 speed would be a plus. adjustable provini valve. Maybe elec start coulld be mated to jack shaft from old left kick.
Bigger tanks for all. a 65 for the kids in US. the 125 4 stroke for an intermediate of even a trail rider campground husky dirt bike.
Not asking for the world here...I remember what happened to Tony Montana when he wanted the world!
 
Yes Yes a 200 2-stroke built on a lightweight 125 frame. Hey I'm not even asking for DI or street legal. Slightly shorter seat and e-start wouldn't hurt my feels though. Cool thread!
 
I currently have a thumper, but I could be convinced to go to a 2T if it had an electric start and decent size tank so I could do aboyt 100-110kms (60-65 Miles) on a tank. Not having an electric starter is a deal-breaker for me - I have a riding mate that is forever struggling with getting his bike started again when he stalls on a hill, where I just hit the button and carry on. I think having the option of a Rekluse style clutch would be nice too in order to make the power more usable.

Given the relative lack of development of these engines in the past decade or so, soemthing like Direct Injection would be nice, but frankly I don't know how necessary it is. Put it this way, it would not be a deal-maker or deal-breaker for me.
 
125 based 175-200 6 speed, electric start, DI would be interesting. 250 and 350 with electric start, wide ratio 6 speed, 3 gal tank, in an updated frame.
 
Screw E start. I want the lighter weight. K.I.S.S. ! I also would not care for EFI or DI. Let's stick to a carb but one that works as well as the Keihin PWK a/s. A honest 175 (or factory 167), based on the 125 frame would be terrific.
IMO,
Dwight

The only reason I was thinking DI is for emissions thus street legal. My 250 makes plenty of power but when I ride my 200 GasGas it has that 125 feel that I miss. A 175 DI would probably make all the power you would ever need and still handle like a 125. Like you I'm fine with the carb but it will never be emission legal unless they back off the regulations.
 
HEY, I would love an air cooled 2-stroke ! E start and also EFI requires a battery for the starter and the fuel pump thus too much weight. With as easy as these 2 strokes are why do we need the extra weight.
 
lighter 125 with kyb ss suspension, lighter 250 2stroke in CR trim with updated everything, stronger built silencer on 125. could care less about electric start and di/efi...
 
I would love to have a nice set of standard Showa forks like on a XR400. Those work good, although I don't have any complaints about my Marzocchi OC forks. I really don't want CC or Dual chamber forks. Too complex.
 
Dwight,

For competitive riding you are right, but for where I trail ride having a few extra pounds for that 10-15% of the time kicking isn't doable for my short, fat, ass the E-start is on my must have list. I will have a button on my next new scoot, I just hope it is a Husky.
 
125 i just do not now how it could be made any better

250 /300 since i install the Olins TTX the only comlpaint i might have is it is still a little heavy
For me it is a race bike and is plenty fast with a 5 speed but i can see where a 6 th might be nice
PLEASE do not mess it up with a e button or fi
Remember it is a 2 stroke and next to impossable to stall.Unlike my 1989 ATK 604 which had a button
and alot of weight
The current Husky 2 stroke line up is one tuff bike that seems to never break ,if they do make a few changes i hope they keep the tuffness and ease to work on
Plus i really do not think there are many people out there that could handle any more bike then the 300
so why make a bike that only a few could ever get it pinned
 
150 - 175 with road compliance , Digital ignition , 95 kg wet , 10 litre tank :)
or
300 with new frame , dual mapping , 6 speed , better kick start design
 
I want a light weight 250/300 in motocross trim that pumps out more power than the KTM 250sx, adjustable PV, built-in steering stabilizer, sweet new exotic styling (black rims, red and white), and DI to get the media abuzz if nothing else.

Also, for fun build a dirttrack limited run special model based on the TC450.

I am not sure about the DI. Husqvarna seems to always use Mikuni which will probably result it it not working well and with no easy fix.

I would like to see the following...

Switch to Keihin carbs.

Digital ignitions on all models with more FWW on the off road ones.

A new 250/300 motor with a 6 speed. The current one runs well but is a very dated design and I am sure they could save major weight. Just look at this motor next to a YZ or SX and it is obvious that it is going to have some extra weight. With a new motor they could then use the new frame.

I am real happy with my 150 but a 175-200 cc bike would probably sell well.

Larger tanks. The 2t tanks are just silly. They also need to hang down a lot further to keep the weight low.

Bring back the grease zircs for the linkage and swingarm.

13/52 gearing on 125 since everyone seems to prefer it.
