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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Photo needed of 1984 WR400 Radiator install

Hi Guys,

I can't seem to find a photo of how to route the 'balance' pipe between the headers of the radiators on the 1984 WR400 as the frame seems to get in the way of a direct line.

I am rebuilding this as a CR (pics will be posted in the projects section soon) but I got it as a pile of bits... so nothing to reference.

I would be grateful if somebody who owns one can take a pic for me or point to me to some reference material.

Many thanks.

flicked yu some pics stu so you can see how it works, pretty simple...just make sure you have some silicon behind the radiator guards to stop them rubbing the tubes thru...like I did:banghead:
 
Many thanks... I found them in my spam for some reason... that's AOL for you.

I thought it had to be high pressure/temp resistant tube. Is that normal clear fuel pipe you are using? It doesn't matter if it droops that much either?

Stu
 
its just normal clear plastic line, never had a problem but I would use a more flexible rubber fuel line type if I was you.
 
I've ordered some silicon tube off ebay to try... hopefully it's flexible enough. If not then I'll use some clear plastic line as you have.

Many thanks for the help.

If you are speaking of the crossover between the radiators at the top, on my 1985 400WRX is a piece of fuel line making that connection on mine. The 84 400WR has the same radiator system as my WRX
