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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

82 250 xc Clutch adjustment

I got this bike and am ordering the manual cd's online. In the meantime I would like to adjust the clutch. There is very little feel in it right now. It feels as though it's either on or off. I was told to just lay it on it's right side, remove the clutch cover and tighten down the clutch bolts.

I have a modern Husky but this is my first vintage bike. Does this sound right? What should the clutch feel like compared to a more modern bike.

thanks!
 
There is an adjustment in the middle of the clutch hub. And you adjust this to achive a distance from the clutch arm to the cable mount. I will try to find the dimension tonight.
 
Ok, here ya go.
Disconnect the clutch cable.
Remove the cover.
In the center of the clutch is an allen screw held by a lock nut.
Hold the allen and loosen the lock nut.
Adjust the screw to get 7/16" to 9/16" of free play of the clutch arm when measured at the end of the arm.
Re attach the cable and adjust the handbar lever to 3/32" play between the lever and purch.

What I found when I had a similar problem was that the adjusting screw in the clutch was broken. Replace with grade 10.9 allen head set screw of approprate length. You should be able to get the set screw at thr local HDWE store.
