• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 86 400,

Always the Holeshot!

And I was running 15 tooth front sprocket, 48 tooth rear.

For trail riding long distances, I always ran a 15 tooth front sprocket,

82 WR250
95 WR360
01 TE570

With the 14 tooth front sprocket, it just seemed like I had to work the gearbox too much.
Much more relaxing with the 15 tooth front.

My sons 125cr had a Japanese rear tire with bigger knobbies. The tire would chuck hardball sized rocks with ease. You wouldn't follow him for too long. I got clocked by one rock and learned quickly.

The one tooth smaller front sprocket raises the tranny up more towards 3-4-5 gears rather 1-2-3. I noticed the 390 didn't like the one tooth smaller sprocket. Big bores have torque over the smaller bores with the higher rpm.
