• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 250WR Clutch Cover?

I just bought an '82 250WR. The clutch cover is different from the '82 250WR, that I have... No vent line, is the biggy. A strange homemade kickstart retainer and what I should have recognized, as the wear plate for the decompressor engagement for a 4T. It has an extra mounting bolt boss and a few other things. I need to drill a hole for a nipple, for a vent hose.

I forgot to mention, Joe Chod solved the mystery. I should have, as I have a '93 WXC350 and it has the same decomp system.
 
sounds like you have a later liquid cooled 4 stroke cover with no vent and the extra bolt hole. at least that cover has the steel sleeves in the kicker and shifter bores. i like the italian covers like your 350 has on my air cooled swedes

I should have bought a few clutch covers with the inspection cover, back when the were more available..... Hard to come by now. Add an Up-Tite inspection cover and you've got the deal!

i have one just like that, 87-88 lc. someone must have buggered up the screw holding the bump stop in front of the kicker or broke it off and made a homemade holder..pretty nice shape otherwise.
 
Sacrilege Please save the four stroke parts for use on four strokes! Don't modify them for use on a two strokes. It is an act of Husky vandalism if you ask me! Of course you are entitled to do whatever you want.....just saying....
 
theres no modifying ....they fit nicely..i have a bunch of cases like norm posted for sale on ebay no one wants them..

Only mod would be to drill out a hole for vent line. I actually ended up finding an Italian Husky 4T single cam clutch cover, with a billet inspection cover. I'll have to drill that one too. The cover presently on the bike will remain unmolested and will be available....
 
Is it better to use the straight kick start lever with the two-piece cover? Straight style kicker is on my 84 WR. Guessing it would work on my 83 with the correct holder?
