• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 looked at the the huskyclub site (http://www.huskyclub.com/model.htm) to confirm what I think I have (92 WXE 250) is actually what I have. The Swingarm sticker says WXE 250, The sticker on the left side of steering head says WR 250 and according to the VIN as referenced on the aforementioned site, it is a 250 CR Cross or WR. My VIN, has the "PV" number, Not the "NV" number the Husky club said it should have. Additonally, the numbers coincide with a 93, not a 92. I realize that Cagiva had Husky and that threw things in turmoil, but what gives? Anybody got a clue? OH HUSKY GODS, PLS SMILE UPON ME! Thanks.

In case anyone else was interested, as answered on KTMTalk.com:

P is the 1993 Husky model year

https://www.halls-cycles.com/Catalog/Halls-...-Husqvarna.aspx
for parts verification Halls has the (USA model only)catalogs.


Looks like the USA labeled/marketed models were WXC and WXE for 1993
I think the only difference is with or without the lights (see WXE lights kit in the parts book for 93 250/360 models, all else is the exact same.
They may have been labeled(stickered) differently in the EU countries with WR and probably had the CR (MX)versions there as well.
That being said I am sure the US imported VIN numbers for both models are coded in the same series , just the stickers and added catalogged lighting kit are what the customer saw as different. That was the best I could do,hope it makes sense.
