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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Has anyone tried this? Efm says that you add a 1/2" to the height of the clutch it looks like there is room , Anyone have one ? How well do they work? I have had many recluse clutch equipped bikes how do the efms compare Going in a 1984 wr250

adding the height would be easier using the 90s four stroke clutch cover that has a removeable mini clutch cover
 
which covers fit ? anyone have one? I would think to would have to be a air cooled model

the 90s four strokes have the waterpump on the head, so the cover fits older air cooled primary kick swedes.
also lets you install the later 6 spring clutch as theres more room..
ssshhh, you didnt hear it from me!
 
Thanks ! that's great info those shouldn't be that hard to find . Now has anyone tried a EFM clutch ?
 
I have ridden several bikes with the EFM. They work very well, and are reliable. I like more engine breaking. It has more engine breaking than the old Rev Lock. His products are very well made. Garry has come to our trail rides in the past. So I had the opportunity to meet him and try out prototype products. The coolest product he was making at the time was an adjust on- the-fly fork switch. It would switch from soft, medium, to stiff with a three position switch. And it worked! He had a showcase VOR he let me ride a lap at Loretta Lynn's. Jeff

I just realised that I have 3 x VORs and 3 x Swedish Huskys.....2 of the VORs are the early type without an oil pump, just like my TE510 Storm Trooper. It was rumoured that early VORs suffered engine failures when they were ridden at constant high engine speeds such as on road transport sections or used as adventure bikes. All the oil got pumped into the head via the reed valve and didn't drain back down into the sump fast enough, it wasn't a problem in normal off road riding where the bikes were ridden with constantly variable throttle openings/gear changes on/off throttle etc...the later model VORs got an oil pump

I talked to Garry at EFM about using one in my 87 430. 1/2 inch was too much.

HVA Factory has some clutch covers with a new shift lever, but for 82-83 years. Not sure of the differences with a 84 model.

Before you buy that check with Halls Cycle a new cover with out the shifter and gasket is $212 I don't think the gasket and shifter are $200
