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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Craigslist strikes again! WXC350

Cool find Norm :thumbsup: Love it.

My first husky, a used 93 610 with a ported head and uptitie pipe. 60 HP monster.

Thanks Drew. It's quite the tractor. I always liked the "Thrust" of a single cam Husky, as they are faster than they feel. Your Husaberg 350 at the '91 Czech ISDE was lighter and tricker though.

R.A.L. is the acronyym for Reed Actuated Lubrication. There is no pressure oil pump in most years of Husky single cam 4 strokes. They finally got an oil pump in 2000, near the end of their cycle. If you were paying attention to Gunnar at VMD:busted:, you might have caught how the single cam Husky was so revolutionary, because it was a 4 stroke top end mated to a 2 stroke bottom end. The bottom end of this 350 and even an '04 TE570 is very close in design to my '82 250WR 2 stroke. I would always be amazed when my '01 TE400 and '82 250WR were parked side by side.

The elephant or elefant is the Cagiva logo. 1991 was the first year of a Cagiva updated design of the single cam 4 stroke. The '90 was still pretty much a Swedish 510. In '92 it was updated again with many new parts.

Nice find for sure. Very clean example for this year. Congratulations on the find.

The R.A.L. system is quite unique system for lubrication. The cylinder wall has a small reed port for spraying oil into the cylinder wall from the bottom end and the timing chain carries oil to the valve train.
That was a Swedish design carried over to the Italian bikes.
 
Worth mentioning is the Magnet in a little fish shaped plate under the exhaust on the left side of the cylinder,I owned a 350 for 5 years and finally found it by accident just before I swapped it to a mate for a Ducati Pantah,the magnet catches crap on the cam chain
 
Norm, excellent find. Super pristine for sure. And I agree, the 92 -93's are just fantastic examples of the 90's era....great balance of function/cosmetic beauty. Daily, I look for a nice TE400/570, but I'd have to admit, I too would find the money for such an example as you found. Nice!
 
I think George can still create a nice cam profile for this bike and wake its butt up....(if required of cos') :cheers: We also know the duals are holding it back.... a sweet single would do it wonders as well. Obviously a given, but the duals do have that look about them....hard to give up.

I talked to George about a pipe and cam. Fran Bottone say he has a source for cores for the dual mufflers, so you can open them up for performance, but do a Silent Sport packing to keep sound down. He did this to the stock single muffler on my old TE400 that he has. :cheers:

P.S. Ryan... Nice to see you on the forum. I should have known the Single Cam forum would bring you out!
 
That sounds great Norm. I'm excited to hear feedback from you as this new "pet" gets some changes/updates and you get a chance to ride her from time to time.

Again, the bike just looks awesome, the styling of these first years in the 90's are hard to beat.

And yes, the thread certainly caught my eye! I was also doing some research for a friend, on the 09/10/11 WR125.... WR144 for that matter. I then got caught in the whirlwind of all the new info I hadn't seen on the latest models, etc. Man.....makes me want another bike, got to be careful about getting back on these boards....haha
 
mate that is very clean bike for a 93 model, i just got one in parts i am rebuilding , its hard to get parts down here in aus, so i am trying to source them over in the states...
good score on that bike mate

cheers from aus.
