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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

bought my husky this summer, and now it looks like I didnt do a very good buy. I find a lot of faults with the engine, cracks, screwholes without thread etc. I think it could be less work and less money to buy a new engine.

Does anyone know whitch engines that can bolt on this frame? How new engine can I put on this?

Thanks alot

Joniver,
There is usually 125 parts on ebay. Cases, tranny's, etc....
But a lot of that stuff has issues as well.
Striped threads, you can drill out and redo with thread inserts.
Cracks can be taken care of by a good magnesium welder.
If it is cracked around old chain cover lugs. You can thread bolt in what is left and he can weld it back up.
I struggled for long time trying to find cases better than what I had to work with.
Someone on here might have a good set of cases as well.
Keep going and you will get it done. If I run into any, I will let you know as well.
 
Husky never made special frames for the 125 so any engine within an engine type of any size that came in that frame ('74-'81 250, '75-'77 360, '77-'80 390) will fit with the right motor mounts and pipe. If you want a 125 engine, they are all the same '77-'83 except '82-'83 had a different top end, but the cases are the same so those will fit right into your frame too.
