• 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     WR = 2st Enduro & CR = 2st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Guys this is the thread I started a few months ago concerning the 11'wr300 lighting issue I was having.

http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/just-bought-an-11-wr300-have-qs.21050/page-2#post-201027

Long story short, I bought this (new) middle of Oct, the bike was not hooked up with lights from the dealer because a few bikes they sold were coming back with fried ignitions. Because of this the dealer has been trying to find a solution as to why through Husqvarna. It's now 5 months later and Husqvarna has not fixed the issue, given a solution or anything. The dealer has been on them quit a bit (dealing with Italy) and all Husqvarna tells them is they are looking into it. I finally decided to contact BMW/Husqvarna customer service to follow up on this back in December and they gave me the same answer as the dealer stating Husqvarna Italy was working on a fix. Now (today) the middle of Feb I called and talked to a BMW/Husqvarna customer service manager and he told me there is nothing he can do and that the comunication is strictly between Husqvarna and the dealer. He basically told me same the thing as before and said there is no one he can call to find out when they might have a fix. I have to say this is poor, poor service from a manufacturer that is trying to gain sales in the US. I just don't see how a manufacturer can re-design a new 4strk motorcycle, have it ready for sale the following year and not be able to fix a simple electrical lighting issue on a 2strk bike they have had out currently for over a year. Please do not think I am bashing this bike because short of this issue its great but my patience is wearing thin. The thing that gets me is that there are alot of you out there with the same bike and have no issues at all, I mean what gives? Am I going to have to wait another 5 months, maybe longer? If anyone has any suggestions please feel free.

Thought about that but didn't want to give up the smooth power delivery that the Ducati ignition is (supposed) to be giving over the older one. I really like the mild manner of the bike now, do you know if it makes that much of a difference?

Call and talk to Bill at BMP. He left his number in the other thread.

I gave the dealer his information but not sure if they ever called? If this goes for to much longer maybe I'll just get the kit, do it myself and call BMP and see if they could help me.
