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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Could someone either post the measurements or point me to where I can find it. Thanks I doubt it would be the same as the 72's I have
 
It is safer if you do it yourself. It will depend on a few factors like shock length, sprocket size, swingarm length etc. Put the bike up on a stand and remove the lower shock bolts. Lift the back wheel up until you feel the chain is at it's tightest point. (centre of axle, swingarm and front sprocket all in line). Adjust at this point so it just has slight movement and is not drum tight. Re-fit the shock bolts and let the rear wheel sag. Now cut a small piece of timber (2"x1" ??) and mark it so that you can just insert it at a point above the swingarm. This "special tool" will help you check it in seconds in the future.
 
And what I've always found, is when you get it perfect, that sweet spot & the tightness is just right :thumbsup: , when you tighten the axle, it will be too tight :banghead: .
