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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Pre-lubing seals and bearings,

Don't forget to pre lube your new seals and bearings.

Crankseals, crankbearings
I pre lube the crankseals plus put a little 2t down the ignition side lube hole to pre lube the ignition side bearing. I just picked up a oil squirt can to lube the ignition side crank bearing. Less messy.

Rear wheel bearing outer seals,
Don't forget to lube the rear outer wheel bearing seal too. It has no way to get lube to it but us pre luring it with a water proof grease.

Swingarm sleeves and bearings, fork neck bearings. A tub of bel-ray water proof grease goes a long way. With fork seals pre lube them with fork oil. Don't use grease stiction might occur.

Don't forget to use anti seeze on the front and rear axles and the swing arm cross bolt too.
 
Pre lube the fork seals with fork oil that's good. I missed saying that correction noted that's you guys are awake.

Sorry if my post is boring but to a newbie it could help him.
