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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

510 Auto?

:-) I don't want no stinking Rekluse.....I had someone mention to me today that he "had a mate " that ran a Husky 4T Auto in the Aussie ISDE in the mid eighties?? Did the factory do a one-off race bike or is it a case of "Husky" and "Auto" being associated by default?
 
I rekon by default. the 510's biggest issue was heat. the auto's biggest issue was heat... I cant see that combining them would work. even with the lc the 430 had some heat issues if ridden badly. the auto box uses a fancy oil, the 510 needs the crankcase oil to lube the engine.

Well the Husky 4 stroke cases were based on the 2 stroke cases, so I don't doubt it could be possible.

Besides the Husaberg version shown.

But Yes, the heat problem would be tough, maybe watercooling could have solved that,
but by that time Husky was already on there down slide & that would have been an expensive
project.

If i've understood ( I speak swedish only under torture) , the shoes springs
of 1st clutch works under pression instead of stretching .

The first clutch engagement is special. No freewheel device which can break when you are
in the woods.
 
look where the reed valve is.....very low.....like first aircooled Husky 4stroke.....
