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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

clutch kit for '87-88 Huskys...

Husqvarna
Pro Class
Don't know if guys with late 80's Huskys know this... so posting just in case.

I picked up a couple of Barnett Clutch Kits for my '87-88 bikes. I ordered them from Hall's. I don't know if the kit will fit other model years.

It's a special kit Hall's had the clutch guys at Barnett make up. It's not listed on Barnett's web site.
Part # 303-37-10006
Note: the kit only comes with 5 springs, the 430 will take 6 springs. I run 4 springs.

It has improved a friend's 430 clutch disengagement at idle... no more stalling when you pull in the clutch.
I have not installed it yet, but will be.

thanks for the info might need that some day find sumbuddy up there that wants a 430 WR project [mine]
 
the 250s about done i'd do the 430 i but i'll hafta hit a big one too have the time and the money ok mostly money to do do it it would be kool to have a pair but i dont think i'd ride it much i had my 430 already it was fun i need to rework the bathroom not restore another husky
 
ok im a bit confused here...you only run 4 of the 6 springs?? and theres a problem stalling when the clutch?
the main issue ive encountered is the drag the aluminum plates have..i have been running phils 6 spring clutch with steel plates, and along with proper adjustment i have had no drag. i see phil gets his from barnett as well..does this kit come with metals too? bizarre its made for the 87-88 bigger clutch and doesnt have enough springs.
 
Yea, funny it only has 5 springs. I will call Hall's and ask them.
I know an old pro who runs 4 red/orange color springs in his 430 with no slip. Says less bite on the clutch is good, better to slip the clutch than damage the motor if you were to punch it too hard. So I may give it a try.

Here's the plates that come in the Barnett kit: 7 steel, 8 fiber

I know what you mean.
I have 2 bathrooms and a kitchen to remodel. I better quit this Husky stuff !
 
Can you get just the steel plates from Halls? I have quite a stockpile of original friction plates that are useable to me. They look like the sureflex ones I got for the Norton not like the picture above.

Not sure. You could call or email Parts at Hall's. Talk with Raymond.
