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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My 83 cr plates are dragging a lot. I use klotz 30w chain and transmission oil. And I my plates won't disengage. Help please!!!
 
Jump start the bike & then get it into 3rd gear, gas it, then pull in the clutch lever, should unstick them.. My 87 250 does it all the time , cause I only ride it couple of times a year.. Works ever time on my bike...

have you adjusted the clutch yet? in the middle of the basket?
if everything is adjusted, the problem is those damn aluminum plates. you will have to start the bike, run along side it, pop into first and get on. after that ride around with the clutch pulled in and goose the throttle some, eventually it will pop.
 
Well when I took the plates out. They were stuck together. I put them in oil. And I'm gonna put them back in after a little while. And see if my problems at fixed. Because the clutch plates are in good condition.

I put the plates on a flat surface to make sure there flat not warped.
 
I did. They aren't warped. It's because the bike sat for a while. I got the clutch back together and it now works. Onward to find a gasket. Because making my own failed. And I won't but a bad gasket in that bike. Thanks guys
