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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

heres my pics...of an old ass suzuki setup, sadly missing its clear lens. really easy to use and leaves the flywheel area open and uncluttered for adjustments.

heres a close up of the face..this old girl has served me well and has worked well on any 2 stroke ive tried it on. much like any dial indicator the outer ring rotates to set the zero wherever.

I also have used one of these Suzuki Dials for years on my husky's, the aircooled and watercooled, they are excellent and can recommend.
 
Using the marks on the flywheel and case i set my timing at 14 degrees the piston stays at the top of the arc for about 2mm in relation to the marks on the flywheel and case, as stated gives a consistent reading each time, was previously set at 5 degrees the marks are permanent paint marker so makes for an easy reference point when confirming tdc.
Sealed the flywheel cover complete with vent line running to air box.
Also epoxied washes into the cover holes to stop the plastic deforming and cracking with spigot type washes used to hold in fairing.
