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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

You notice that too when standing up wicking the husqvarna 390 the bike wants to leave me behind so much I need to pull the bike back under me?

Hi Mike,

I, like you thought that there should be a head to frame bracket to keep the vibration down... struggled to come up with something on my air cooled 500 but looks as though you have cracked it on the L/C..

Any chance you can share the design :) I have a 430 and 500 L/C that could do with it.

Hi Stu
Give the stay idea a miss as it hides the real problem until it gets a lot worse.
I ended up taking them off and fixing the problems.

Balanced the crank on my 86/WR240 and now it revs like a 125 . [ the balance was way out and looked like they just stuck them together without giving a damm ]
Fixed the rear bolt holes [ swingarm ] in the frame and engine on my 85/WR400 and it does not vibrate anywhere near as much. [ one day when I have the motor down I will balance it as well.]


But here's some pikkys if you want to copy the idea.
Cheers
