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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I'm looking for the kick start idler gear bearing size. Easy question? Looking to replace mine before any issues arise.
 
Keep an eye on the surface that needle bearing rides on inside that gear. I think I did a thread where I fit a needle shell bearing into that gear. If they are still reasonably priced by part number chances are I would just do that. As time has progressed it seems the parts sheets often have text in the description that indicates attributes of the bearings. There is another one on the kick starter gear.
 
Thanks fran...k. I could not find the dimensions for the bearings via a search. I figured to replace these at the same time as the clutch plates. Going from aluminum to steel drive plates. I'll look some more. I'll be sure to check both surfaces for any signs of wear or galling. I suppose I'm asking a lot but it would sure be nice to have a sticky of the bearing, seal and bolt dimensions handy.
 
Two top makers are IKO japan made and INA euro made. IKO s have a part number that starts with KT 16 mm x 20mm x 10 MM
The INA just has K 16 x 20 x 10. Don't always have the mms in either part number.

Changing often just can't hurt. They take the stress of Kick starting. I find the outside needle cage cracked all the time on these. On different bikes
