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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc New project Bike 02 cr 250

i'm not saying its not a good bike, just that Lamson couldn't go fast on it. any 250 or 360 should fit in that chassis.
 
I would prefer to do a WR if possible . I probably will do motor last like usual so that will give me some time to acquire what I need . I did call Ferracci yesterday and they said they did not have any records because they were shredded around 2005 and that's really all they could tell me.
The bike has a lot of wear on the sub frame and the chain has wore in to the swinger (repairable) pretty deep and the bottom engine mounts are a little oblonged and the cylinder needed to be re nikasiled . So I just assumed that some one was racing this bike which is ok with me , that's what
it was made for. I personally think that racers do more maintenance on their bikes than the kid down the street that can barely afford to mix the gas.

We know the bikes are good, lots of them still around and popular. I remember that Lamson interview/article and it sounded like the team was the problem, not just the bike. Was the end of an era for Husky/Cagiva/FBF and he got the leftovers :o

I bought a 'real' FBF CR135 race bike directly from Eraldo Ferracci in 2003 or so. Those special forks were absolute beotches to bleed. Zoke 50 twin chambers. That guy was the hardest person to understand that I've ever spoken to! The bike was a support machine for a guy named John Burgard. When I was doing my "due diligence", Burgard told me that FBF would rebuild the engine and suspension every time he took it to the shop, and he always told them it didn't need it. Originally the bike was supposed to have been raced in Europe by Chicco Chiodi, the 1999 Euro Champ... http://www.pulpmx.com/stories/look-...eel/gps-classic-steel-23-2002-husqvarna-250cr

I also read that he broke /cracked 16 swing arms in a 17 race season. but that is SX and supercross is hard on bikes no matter what make.
 
as Dave DeSpain says , keep your wheels on the ground and your feet on the pegs ****************************************

Fred Hoess rode an ex Lamson SX bike, in the '04 National Enduro Championship. FBF had narrowed the cases and done some serious frame mods. Lammy's outdoor MX bikes weren't like that.
 
Got this far tonight and robbed some parts off another frame that I need to get rid of.photo 2 (10)cr250.JPG

It's a 04 sm frame if any one is interested.
 
if you would really like a wr, try to find a 90s transmission from a 250 or 360. it will be a true wide 6 speed. after that its all 5 speed
 
maybe someone else can chime in but i believe 02 in a 360, 99 or so in a 250? you will need the matching shift drum and forks as well.
