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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Forks Topping Out

Hi folks,
I'm having a problem with my 73 WR250 forks topping out. They have been completely disassembled, cleaned out, and have new seals and oil. Even just lifting the front end off the ground, when I'm standing next to it, will cause a loud hideous metal to metal sound.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
You will be able to see the bike in the restoration section of the site soon.
 
hard to say....you can look in the tech section and get the factory spec,s...rider weight, style ect... all come in play here.
back in the day, i got a bottle of fork oil, poured half in one and half in the other..and it worked well.
what some guys do..is take the caps off, and compress the forks down all the way, and fill 3 to 4 inches from the top..
