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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So I just got my first husky, which also happens to be my first dirtbike. Problem is I'm not exactly sure what it is and what to get it titled as. Motor number is 0952 1079, which I think would make it a '85 510, however my bike has dual rear shocks, where as i believ they wenter to a single in '85. Frame number is wo 18805. 20151105_150006.jpg 20151105_145955.jpg
 
Nice find. 510 84-85 are twinshocks. 510 mono must be end of 85 , and 86 year model (I think).
Anyway it is a 510 twinshock whatever the year it is !
 
better get familiar with the motor, and go through it well. these are not tolerant of "lack of knowledge"..great bike overall but can be hard on a first timer. the two piece valves like to come apart. bike looks to be in great shape tho!
 
mate that is a is a huge win if its a good engine. the 85 had the good valves and ignition and didn't blow the carb off every second start. its in good std condition, very rare. I have one as well. there is a thread on here where the collective gave me lots of good advice regarding the bike, I cant get the link to work. find it if you can. cheers
