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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey all fitting a Maverick Lighting Kit to my CR250 for the upcoming Beauford Vinduro her in Aus.
Have it lying around so thought I might fit it instead of running a small battery.
Just wondering if anyone would know which wire I need to break into to power up the lighting system.
The CR has Electrex Ignition, the blue wire is connected to the kill switch as well.

CR 250 1982 ?
electrex ignition not lighting !
prefère battery !
not possible cable bue !
(40 000 volts !!):(
(original ignition is motoplat CR/XC
or SEM/AMAL in WR ! )
 
If you have the Electrex system with lighting coils, there will be two yellow wires coming from the stator along with the coil wires.
No yellow wires = no lighting coils !
You can buy these from Electrex and retro fit them. Good luck !
 
Ended up getting it going, the Maverick Lighting system uses the power from the stator to charge it, is only good for LED lights.
All ready for Beauford Vinduro now. :)

so stupid question, did you find you had a lighting coil or is it powered by the ignition side which i am not aware of being possible
 
Its powered by the ignition.
Here in Victoria we can get Rec Reg for riding in the State Forests.
So these people have developed this for Motocross bikes basicslly.
i had the kit on my RM250 2008, i just put it on the husky so i can ride this event, they require working lights.
