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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Help - 1974 WR 250 Starts easy, runs fine, and quits

I had to make a flywheel holder out of some steel rod I got at the local hardware store. It actually worked. I had bought a flywheel puller, so that went pretty easy. Replaced the condenser, and rode around for 45 minutes or so. She ran fine, so I think I got it. Thanks for all the advice. I really appreciate it.image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg
 
Cautiously optimistic!
Now do 2 things:
> Re-torque the flywheel nut to 50 lbs.
> Enter the Vintage enduro at McKee's Sky Ranch WV on 7/29...either of those bikes are PERFECT for it!
 
Thanks. And thanks for the reminder on retorquing. I can't make the enduro, but if anybody in the Annapolis/DC area wants to ride somewhere, I'm in
