• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Beware Of The Oil Screen Plugs On The TE511/449

Try different brands of 6 point sockets. Find one that fits tight then grind off the rounded edges to insure complete engagement. I make custom tools to fit the job all the time.

I grind the end of a 6 point socket so that there is absolutely no bevel. Helps it fit tight. Did the same for my 22mm oil socket.

Yep, 5600 miles, lots of oil changes, look like new. I also don't check them much as they are always clean. Cut a few oil filters apart recently and they were spotless. Mag plug has almost nothing on it. Seems to be a solid motor.

Yeah, same here. Even on the first oil change, all I found was a spec or two of break in wear. after that, they've all been clean as a whistle.
 
Where are people buying their oil screen bolts? looks like 7602 doesn't sell them anymore? Also does anyone know the size of these bolts?
 
Not sure, I got my replacements from my husky dealer about 3 years ago. Although I did have to wait about 3 weeks for them to come in. In the mean time, I had my buddy who is a machinist make one for me. I'll try to dig up one of my extra plugs and see if I can match it up with a thread pitch for you.

I got my bolts at 7602 but for any red Husky parts I've wanted for either my '08 TE 250 or '13 TE 449, I've always gotten what I wanted from jetworld powersports. ('09 coil, '13 TE 449 header, air box cover, screws, plastics... you name it)

Late to the party here, been a little while since I checked in, but the easiest place to get drain plugs and the filter cover is a BMW motor cycle dealer.
Same parts as the G450X.
