• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 for piggy back

I'm in need of rebuilding my ohlins piggyback on my 430 AE.
If not taking ohlins oil, what is the grade to choose ? 5 w , 7.5 w ?
Thanks
 
You will want to use maxima "heavy" weight shock oil. They sell a light, medium and heavy weight. Or a 10wt shock oil of your choice. In my opinion anything lighter just makes the rebound to fast.

Did you use yourself heavy weight ohlins shock oil or 10 wt ?

I have used both at different times. I prefer the Ohlins oil but I also like the Maxima heavy weight. I believe the Ohlins oil is a 10wt. but I am not 100% sure on that as they have reformulated it over the years.

This will not answer the original question, but is important to note that Ohlins Shock Absorber Fluid comes in three different weights:

28.0
18.0
14.0

all measured at cSt / 40 degrees C

Attached is a catalog page from Ohlins and a viscosity chart to convert cSt / 40C to SAE weights.

Thanks Vinskaord, but cSt/ 40 degrees C looks like Chinese to me.
I'm taking differents informations . Seems that 7.5 w to 10 w must be the good oil.
 
The viscosity chart shows the approximate SAE equivalents. Although it is preferred to use the oils cSt/40C weight - here is a 'wag' (wild a** guess) for SAE weights:

28.0 cSt/40C = 15W
18.0 cSt/40C = 10W
14.0 cSt/40C = 5W

Check the cSt for whichever oil you end up choosing for an exact match.
