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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How to identify 84 250 cylinder ?

How do you identify a 84 250 cylinder ? This is last of air cooled.

Does it have the intake main flow right into the transfer port behind the sleeve
acting as a large additional flow. In other words big extra holes to the transfers.

I will try and post a pic later
 
It is definitely different from the 82 WR cylinder as the 84WR was known to have weaker low end but much stronger top end. The 2 82WR cylinders I have I mentioned they seemed cavernous as there was much port area as there was non port. I thought they were ported but others seemed to think that was stock
 
It should have a lot of big holes and a couple of small ones. Yes it should have the small extra ports leading out of the intake area. Mine were not matched very well with the Cylinder Liner. If You use the search feature here You can find the Factory Porting Specs along with Pipe Specs for the 84's. Yes I happen to have a 84 WR project bike. The Cylinder looks like its the last thing that should be on an enduro bike, looks like it would be CR only. Which is odd that they didn't just use up there supply of 83's on the enduro bikes, which was typical for the WR's, to use the previous years parts up.
 
Thanks guys. I have one on my bench and just got it today. I was so surprised - what amazing porting with that tunnel cut to that transfer.

I found one picture on the HVA site to compare. Andy has one for a very tidy sum. I still will take pic with my camera when get the battery charged
 
84 WR's are fantastic motors. Just gear them correctly with 56 tooth rear so the engine stays in the power through the gears. Stock gearing was too tall according to Cycle World magazine and they were hard to keep on the pipe between gears.
 
83 CR and XC same cyinder( with the transfers). 82 83 WR no...then XC cylinder stayed for 84 WR got the XC CR jug in 84 and CR got new jug that was LC
