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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

fork rebound damping question

stainlesscycle1

Husqvarna
A Class
one of my 35mm forks has very little rebound damping. when i take the springs out it has resistance both ways, although a little light compared to the other fork.

these are 1979 390 auto husqvarna forks.

i'm assuming a seal on the damping rod is bad - i haven't taken it apart yet. the fiche just shows part 25 (15 12 258-01) - is this a seal or plastic washer? is that all there is at the bottom of the damping rod - i guess i'm just asking which parts i should order to freshen up the damping rod..
 
took it apart. broken damper rod plastic sealing band. i'm assuming it's part #151225801

now to find a pair to fix it..might as well replace the one in the other fork too..
