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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Good ride today

Blew the engine up in my 83-84 WR/XC 250 hybrid last summer. Before I got it back together I ruined my back again. Over the holidays I finally got the engine back together. Its a 84 WR lower end with a XC barrel and CR head. Been doing alot of exersize therepy to get ready to ride again.
Put a new Wossner piston in it, lower rod bearing and pin, NOS Motoplat I'd been saving. Good weather today and tested my back out a couple of weeks ago on my 96 KTM 360EXC and it was okay.
The WR/XC, well its a 84 WR frame with XC suspension and 83 tank and seat. It fired second kick and a quick ride around the block before loading it up for a ride. Ran good but a little lean on the pilot after rebuild. gave it a few heat cycles and a 1/2 tank of gas before I wound it up. Alot more power than it had even being easy on it. My back felt good even though it was an easy ride. Oil change, clutch adjustment and it will be good to go this season. Its my favorite all around bike, no show bike but I have gone through everything on it in the last year.
 
Nice.
