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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

'78 390 OR wiring colors

Can anyone tell me the meaning of the wiring colors on my 390 OR? They are blue, black, white and yellow. The blue and the black go to the coil and the blue continues to the kill switch. The white and the yellow are not hooked up to anything. I assume one or both are for lights. Thanks

The white and yellow are both lighting, one is higher wattage, the other low wattage. I would have to pull the tank on my '78 WR250 to tell you which is which.
 
My 78 OR 390 had a Peston Petty light hooked up to it. I believe it came with a plug adapter for the white and yellow wires.
As long as the bike starts and the kills switch works, you are all set.
