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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

i have a wr 250 83 and im having selector problems. the gearbox seems to be selecting all gears when moving by hand with grips on selector drum. but.............. when i put all back together it only selects 1st N 2nd and 3rd. i have replaced the selector parts and its seriously doing my head in. is there a special way to reasemble the parts eg must it be in gear etc ? any help will be appreciated . thanks all :thumbsup:
 
yep does

yep shift drum has to be in certain position cant remember of top of my head look in manuall it tells you,and not good idea shifting it with grips those splines are very soft ?
 
I have rebuilt some older models and I remember that the drum had to be in the neutral detent position. But I think that this is the way you need to put up all transmissions. Make sure that they are in the correct neutral position, with the selector detent in the proper neutral spot and checking by rotating the output shaft by hand and checking to be sure that other than some frictional drag, it is not driving the input shaft.
