• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 push rod question

I have a 77 250WR. I decided to pull the cover to replace the shift shaft seal and inspect the clutch. With the clutch fully removed, I can not pull the clutch push rod out? I've searched Cafe and the workshop manual but came up empty. I removed the actuator arm and the rod moves freely side to side about a 1/2" and it spins but it will not come out even if I grab it with some vise grips. Am I missing something here? What in the heck would inhibit it from sliding out? Everything looks very similar to my 81 and it's push rod just simply pulls out.
 
Looking down the actuator arm hole I now see that there's a ridge on the end of the push rod. Tempted to just put it back together and forget it but maybe someone has a trick?
