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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Has anyone heard news on how long Husky parts will be available for the 2013 and older models?
Obviously the soon to be 2014+ owners just need to wander down to a KTM dealer.
 
No, here in Berlin, the local (quite large) Husky dealer has been at a Zupin briefing and is optimistic about parts. It´ll be interesting to see what happens to the great new Husky facility that BMW opened in Munich.
 
Yep I reckon they'll be going after the Grom.

I've heard no problem with parts other than a bit of a wait at the moment, what with the changeover and all.

There has been 5-6 articles written where the new owners of the Husqvarna brand have stated, no, have screamed over and over, parts for the previous model bikes will be available for the coming yrs. Some have said their are laws written when about any company must provide parts for their products for up to 10 yrs after a product is released ...

Back to the 5-6 articles given by the new owners. Their words have been very close to correct to what has taken place with the new models to date ... You'll just have to learn to filter out all the useless jargon and bashing sprayed on any subject here about the new bikes and new owners ...

Final words, parts will be available and this comes from the new owners. There is no reason to believe otherwise at this point.

The reason for that is simple, BMW wants their spaces cleared of items they no longer own. In NA that means the warehouses and DC's get cleaned out. After that happens another boat with more parts will come from europe. Besides which, anybody that's ever owned an Italian bike knows that they ain't getting' NOTHIN' from Italy during the month of August, and we're just now enough time from August to get "the pipeline" flowing again.

That's for clarifying ... The Husky riders here probably don't need it, but the nay-sayers crowd needs to be kept in the back-seat as much as possible in an effort to help the Husqvarna brand and promote the product, as well as being truthful ...
 
I am a nay-sayer and I am sick of waiting for weeks just to get simple body work. I will say a few dealers have reached out and offered spares over this past year and that was nice of them. But I still have to order and wait for parts from allover the USA and I am still waiting on the throttle recalled parts.
Has anyone else noticed the contact numbers are not on Husky site anymore.
 
If by "waiting for weeks" you mean two weeks, then I'll agree with you.

I've never waited for more than two weeks for anything.
 
Still waiting for the recalled throttle. By law they had 30 days for a safety recall its over 70+. Most parts have taken over two weeks, thank god nothing major has broke off or failed.
Once the CPPA was called Husky called me that day so now I have a contact phone number. Looks like I am in a long line of people who are waiting for spare parts and got sick of it and made a call.
 
Wow. That's really a bummer to hear. It's not been my experience at all.

But then, my newest bike is now five years old.
 
Well I have yet to find anywhere in Southern California that stocks any Husky parts. I have ordered all my parts for Café Husky sponsors.
 
I recently had to go to Amherst and take some training on the new KTM scan tool. They gave us a tour and I saw the Husqvarna parts area. Seemed well stocked but I only glanced at the shelves. Lots of crates with Husqvarna waiting outside.
 
Here in Euroland (Germany), have just found that parts stocks are now centrally stored in Austria and are readily available.The old Husky agents, Zupin are no longer Husky.
