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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Best that I could find 941 is the closest
All the numbers I have I can't find 0945 ????
0944 is close but its WR

This is what I have found as well. :cool: Someone on here must have some more resources to determine the model #.
 
Engine cases where probably replacements from Husky, that's why the numbers don't match anything. Also all 84 500's where 6 speeds.

Looks like a great starting point. Should be a easy project. Does it run?
Yup I just had it going for a couple of mins what are parts availability like?
Can I replace engine components or are they rare and hard to find?
I found some pictures on the web and put it in a video I just love the sound I keep playing it over and over... maybe i smelled two much two stroke smoke as a kid and I'm brain damaged If I could get help in sourcing supplies like fraome paint shock rebuild side panels etc. it would turn out nice brakes and engine frame seem tight. and the shocks and forks i'll have to see oh and the rear tire needs air. 1983 XC 500 what a bike.

I would give it a resto as its a ripper start. should be easy to do. you would then have a neat very unique bike that you can just keep. if you have a ride coming up, it will be good for any type of riding, and no one will keep up on the straight bits.... warning :eek: don't open the throttle till the straight bits.....

being air cooled, its easy to store, no coolant to keep an eye on and simple to maintain. go for it
 
okay so the decals I ordered came in today and I got the frame number some more pictures with frost I have it stored in an unheated area and this is Alaska! Any ways she started on the third kick after sitting for 2 weeks at 20F I rode it up and down my road enough to warm her up a it and move the ATF around ill flush out the case and change it again.
The original oil felt smooth no extra grit or metal so that's another good sign. gotta go here is the latest pictures image.jpg
