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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Rear wheel rim out of line

Following on from Megagobby's thread about his front wheel not lining up properly, now it's my turn :rolleyes:

I have had my 390s wheels rebuilt and the front is fine, however the back is not perfect. The sprockets are in line, but the rim is 8 mm over to the left of centre. I took measurements before I stripped the wheel down and gave it to the builder, so either I did these wrong or he has built it wrong.

The tyre clears everything at full suspension travel, so there is no danger of the tyre hitting the rear mudgaurd, but I am still a bit worried about it.

Should I have it re-done by the wheel builder or will I just not even notice it when I am riding the bike? :confused:
 
It is possible to loosen spokes on one side and tighten them on the other to move the rim. If you want to send it out go ahead. I take four pairs of spokes at 90 degrees apart and use those to get the rim where I want it and then tighten the rest of them and then go around and tighten them all. Usually about the time the wheel bearings need changing I take the nipple off the spoke and put never seize on it one at a time. It seems the new set up is goint towards aluminum nipples at the rim which I have my doubts about for future owners.
