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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

oil capacity 72 250

Not sure if there is a difference between a 72 and a 73, but 250ml's seems very low, unless visiteur is talking about fork amounts. I'm putting 1500ml's in my 73 WR250 crancase. There should be a check level bolt in your side case though. I don't fill it to that, but when I tip the bike a little, oil comes out of the check hole.
 
This was also very helpful for me ... I just bought a 73 husqvarna 250wr nd I cant seem to get the level screw out so knowing the mL it holds id very helpful. 0402141326.jpg
 
According to my old oil stained Clymer manual...MJ Series (72, 73):
> 1.6 liter for trans/clutch. Back then they spec'd 20 wt motor oil. See other threads for discussion about what oil to use. Many (including me) use Type F ATF
> For the forks: 6 oz per leg. They also spec'd engine oil back in the day. Now use one of the good fork oils...your choice of weights...20 or 30 would be a good place to start.
 
The number on motor is 2032 and frame is Mk09746 which puts at a 73 husky 250wr. I think someone switched the tank and exhaust. Im having trouble with throttle cables but I think someone switched the twist throttle, which makes my vintage viking cables I bought not work. Will someone put up pics of what the twist throttle should look like. I did get the bike fired up by the way. Starts up every time.
 
Where could I get the whirlpool one from with a cable that matches up. I just wanna get a twist throttle and cable that mtch up and will work with my bing carb. Also I need front rim, I noticed a spoke busted out of rim. Sprokets and chain. Any suggestions for them or places to get them from
 
Thanks Gord. I just ordered the whirlpool twist throttle off ebay. What size of chain does it call for 520? im sure ill have lots of questions for you haha
