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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husqvarna 250 XC ?

Looking at the tech specs the 83/84 250 wr & XC are very close. Both use the wr tranny, primary gearing, final gearing, the wr uses the SEM IGNITION and the XC uses the MOTOPLAT IGNITION. I'm thinking the XC used the cr cylinder. The XC suspension has about 2" more travel I guess that's the cr suspension. I'm just trying to figure out the differences between the wr and XC.

I got into this because my 84 250wr has no markings. The key find is the SEM ignition so she's a wr model.
 
I am pretty sure we have done this before, at least this time it is pretty specific. Look for the pegs in the rim and a chain guard in the wr column of the parts sheet. Maybe the headlight tail light number plate sheets as well. Do you have any of those rims with the pegs?

The neighborhood kid was riding past the house. I was in bed just woke up when I heard a familiar fin ring when he passed the house. I just caught the husky colors. Since I helped him with his other dirtbikes he stopped by to show me this one. I told him if he ever wants to sell it let me know. It was my neighbors sons bike originally. The suspension is set already since he's a big kid. We had a husky dealer in Torrington,ct. I remember seeing the new milk trucks outside. The bike wasn't running right he had no mixing ratio cup. She was smoking and too oil rich no power at all. I bought it and changed the ratio.
She's alive and well.
 
Bill , we like to see the before and after pics. I have shown pics of the scruppy frames I started with and then show them after putting a coat of Rustolem Epoxy on it just to show guys here what they can do with a rattle can. I have not posted anything for a few years because I have done so little with all the family issues, jobs and whatnot. If nothing else simple proof of life:)
 
It's ok looking. I'm not going to do a super job like you guys do but it will be a decent looker and a excellent runner. I'll dig up some of my old restorations that I parted with. A big mistake.
