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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

hi guys my kick start catches on the lower rubber air box mount on 390 or 79,am i missing something ore is this another husky design fault,cant move it, and kick start wont come out more ?
 
77 to 82 kickers swing way out, made by Gunner inds. as was the kill button,
however, a 75 76 kicker is pretty straight, and would rub on the frame easy.
 
yep

mine swigs way out and doesnt catch frame but does catch rubber airbox mount ?not a great issue but at £15 a time you dont want to be ripping many of those off
 
nope

no its the back of the bottom of kicker just catches rubber mount rectified by modding rubber so ok now
 
Those kick starters which I call the dog leg ones often deform at a contact spot and end up rotating more than they should. A blob of hard weld applied in the right spot will get it back to rotating not too far. You might see if you think that is what is happening. Things can get pretty sloppy in the splines, the fit of the rotation and the stop if it wasn't doctored in the first few years. Even the bore in the magnesium case can kind of get in need of a thin bronze sleve like some of the automatics have.
