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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Someone on Vital MX forum lucked out in an old Husky way

Sweet deal, the other guy's gonna be a little unhappy.

If the other person gave her the $100 & was only coming back to pick it up, then yeah his got a right to be pissed..other wise
all fair in my book...
 
people crack me up, I should go to hell for giving her 3 times what she was going to let it go for. When was the last time you did that? and if I would have had 400$ I probably would have given her that. She was very happy and so am I. Get over it. I just joined this sight to learn more about this bike and I see some of you want me to burn in hell. Classy. Jon
 
No foul if the seller is happy with the price, only foul here is selling the bike out from under the other buyer "if" they had agreed it was sold.
 
Sounds like juicy p was the one trying to get it for a 100 bucks. Other wise, why are you concerned with what she took for it ?
Right place at the right time, sometimes that's just how life goes.
This is a great forum to learn about husky's , don't let this hiccup stray you away . I have met and learned tons of info from here and usually everyone here is really friendly and willing to help, especially when you ask dum questions. I know I have, but I do try and lend some info that I have gained to any one that ask. It's all about the bikes not people here.

Agree 100℅
 
Jon, did you get it running? I bought a 72' 250WR 3 weeks ago, still getting the bugs out.
 
I am putting new plugs in first and changing tranny fluid before I start it. It has good compression and fresh gas now. I don't think it will be hard to fire up but I'm trying to figure out where to put the tranny fluid in from? Does it go in from where to crank case breather is coming out of the case?
 
Yep, that's the fill, it takes almost 2 quarts, there is a fill level screw there on the left side.
 
Thanks Guys, It now has tranny oil, new plugs, clean filter and fresh premix. I am going to try to start it over the weekend. Is there any thing else I should do before or check first? if not wish me luck. I think it will run but I have been wrong before.

check for spark, and make sure theres a kill switch. check and see if the switch kills spark. seems we hear about alot of runaway situations here
 
Well it looks like the owner before me removed the kill switch. So I will see what I can find. I am trying to stay as close to stock as I can with this bike. What is out there?
