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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Another dumb question sorry

From what little I know the WR and XC cylinders had damper rubbers between the fins and the CR didn't otherwise I think they're all the same. As for the ignitions they're all different in their function. The WR ignition provided power for lighting. The CR had the small internal flywheel and the XC had the large external flywheel. I'm not familiar with who made them.
 
The 430XC had the same engine as the 430WR but the XC had an external rotor Motoplat and the WR had an SEM. The 430CR had slightly different porting (not much) a closer ratio transmission and an internal rotor Motoplat ignition. The 250XC had a WR bottom end and a CR top end, but with the 430XC they just put the whole WR engine in it with the Motoplat ignition in place of the SEM.
 
My 84 250WR has an SEM. When I pulled the flywheel I noticed that some of the magnets from the inside were loose in the bottom of the case. Can the magnets be epoxied back into place? I hate to give up on the SEM as it was working when I got it. I am about to reassemble the engine after breaking it down to replace the crank seals.
 
that was an issue in 1984! I dnf'd an event when the magnets all said sayonara to the casing and huddled about the stator! what a noise:eek: I believe you can glue them back. may need a more experienced opinion here....
