• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Clutch fix.

If your pressure plate and the face at the bottom of the hub is worn - here is what to do to make up the distance prior to fitting a new set of plates:

Carefully drill away the lip caused by the wear on the hub - so that a new PLAIN plate will fit up against the back face. Make very sure that the plate fits flush and that NO gap exists behind the plate.

Offer up your new set of plates to make sure that they are 2-3mm taller than the gap (when you close the pressure plate onto the hub)P1010297.JPG with no plates fitted.

Fit your plates and go racing!!
 
Do I understand correctly that the idea is to use one more plain plate than before? I have clutch centers with significant wear from the portion of the plain plates that contact the gear like surface of the center, the one in the picture seems to just have a little staining not even significant wear. Does doing moto x wear out the sliding surface needing this fix where trail riding leads to what I descibe?
 
Been doing this for years on many kinds of bikes. I do the same thing for the pressure plate, you get a hub and pressure plate that never wears. Its even easier on a Husky with the adjustable top hat on the end of the push rod.
 
Yes! You could set them up on a rotary table on a mill and make a neater job of it, but you don't need to - and I am limited to only 24 hours in a day and that is not enough at the moment****************************************

Don't recommend trying to fix the worn out pressure plates though...

Just to let you know that this works best with our new clutch kits that come with steel plain plates to face the hub and pressure plate faces....
