• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 have a 1983 husky cr250. But I don't have a kill switch. I have 3 bare wires and I don't know what they go to. I have a red a blue and a yellow. And I don't know if I need a 1 or 2 wire kill switch. I need help please.
 
Make sure you get a 2 wire kill switch to make sure the ground is unquestionable. These are no fun if you can not shut them off when you need to.
 
Take a few pics of your mystery wires and post them here. I'm sure we all can help you out and get you squared away correctly.
 
I in gonna do a two wire killswitch then I need to know how to connect it. I have a red yellow and blue wire coming from my sator without a connection

start it and hold the frame and grab each wire in turn. the one that stops the bike is the kill switch...:popcorn:
 
Well from the way the wire diagram looks. It looks like the kill switch comes from the ignition coil. And I only have two wires coming out of there. When I should have three. Two on one splice. One in the other.

The bottom one may help you sort things out.
yellow wire is to regulator and then to front light
green wire is to rear tail light
blue wire from ignition goes to large spade clip on the coil and that's where your kill switch wire ties into
small black from ignition goes to small spade clip on the coil alone
red wire I don't know maybe nothing. leave for now ( tape off tho)
green wire from kill switch goes to ground on the frame not the handle bars.
hope this helps.
 
So I get a 2 wire kill switch. Put the none green wire in with the spade connected in the coil. Then take the green wire and ground it on the bike frame? If that's right. Where should I ground it and how?
 
Run the ground wire down the frame under the gas tank & use one of the coil mounting bolts
 
You got it, that nut in the pic you posted that holds the coil to the frame . scrape some of the paint to bare metal then put the wire connector on then the nut will hold it down. Make sure the wire connector touches bare metal or you will likely have trouble down the road.
