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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Any tricks getting the clutch rod removed?

Wanting to make sure the clutch actuating rod has the proper amount of bearings between the 2 rods (should be 3 according to the manual). Why they just couldn't have one like most brands is beyond me. Haynes manual recommends turning engine upside down and shaking. A little hard when still in the frame.

If it matters, this is a '72 250 cross that I'm trying to get running. Thanks!
 
I'm not familiar with that engine. On some engines You can pull the Clutch lever out of the Engine and apply some compressed air. The rods and bearing balls should come shooting on out o there.
 
I'm not sure how turning it upside down would accomplish anything. On my 73, I can get them out with a pen style magnet. Work the clutch actuator at the same time. You should be able to just lean the bike over, but if it was that easy, you have them out already. Try the magnet, then try some grease on the end of the rod. Maybe one at a time will stick to the grease.
