• 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     WR = 2st Enduro & CR = 2st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Reed Block Screws - Special Tool ???

A good hardware/tool store will have one.

Its a security bit, typically I see them in a torx head which would work just as well as an allen.
 
I'm scratching my head as to why they have a TP type screw on the reed block ? Now I'm gonna have to look at mine to see if it has that application too. :eek:
 
Thanks for your replies.

I ordered the Bondhus Tamper Resistant L-Wrench metric hex set, PN 48386, Model #HTR6M, from Fry's Electronics website. It's a 6 piece set containing 2.5mm thru 8mm hex keys. Was forced to order from an on-line source. I hope this info helps any of you facing the same situation.

Fry's cost is $15.49 (US) + tax. Ground shipping cost me $11.89

Its is interesting that this screw is fitted to the 13 WR125 but not its CR sibling.

I think cuz these are sold street legal somewhere as they used to (and might still) some with crazy lean jetting for regulations. Just my wild ass guess.

Kelly they are sold here in Australia and in Europe with lean jetting but the changes are only in the carb. Even the parts book shows that they is no change to the reed block between WR and CR. It kind of doesn't make sense.
 
Ha, I opened this up thinking "8 mm combination wrench", then I saw the picture and was as scratching my head like everyone else, I'll have to see if my brother's 2012 has those as well. I haven't ever looked. That sure makes things inconvenient.

Obviously replace them when reinstalling.
 
The really odd thing is that looks like a stainless bolt as well. With as cheap as most hardware is on the bike, it's a bit strange that they would use a bolt that would probably cost over a dollar a piece at bulk prices (x 4) vs a bolt that is probably closer to 10-20 cents in bulk and already used on the bike in many places.
