  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 What did you do to your Husky today?

Yikes! I'm more concerned with the wear on the shock body! WTF?!!!

Hope the shaft is easier to source than the kicker itself.
 
I ordered a new kick lever some time back and Halls had it in stock, so I hope the same for the shaft.


I severely smashed my pipe before and it was rubbing the shock. I guess that is why the newer bikes have the reservoir mounted at 90*. I really need to find one of those to swap on there.
 
Walts 177 packin too much compression or maybe back the squat weight down in the gym to 300lbs.

Unlucky n shitty feelin at start of a race but least u could continue!
 
Does that require splitting the case or just the side cover comes off? Glad you got the parts. Pisser when you get the bike all back together and dialed to have this stuff happen.
 
If it's like the 360 cases need splitting, so main bearings required too unless you heat the cases very well before hand.
 
Took a quick glance at the workshop manual and it looks like just the side cover and clutch basket have to come off to get the shaft out.

Order a idler gear bearing while your at it ! My broke up and took the gear on the back of the clutch basket out and in the resulting carnage the shaft that holds the idler gear got bent and shattered the casing - The Husky clutch basket is as rare as rocking horse $hit and very very expensive although I do have a brand new early model item on the shelf I cant find a pinion gear to suit it anywhere, got to come from a early model as they are different. Anyone got one I could purchase from them Im all ears.
 
This engine has 5 hours on it after being rebuilt, so it should all be fine. I will look everything over while I'm in there though.

I'm kind of kicking myself (see what I did there?) for not putting a new one of these shafts in at that time (I had a new shifter shaft and a low hour countershaft put in during the rebuild).


Rare as hen's teeth eh? Guess I'm doing well with 2 FBF billet baskets and 2 stock ones floating around then.
 
Again, Hall's FTW!

Put the number plates and rear fender back on my CR125, and i rode it after not riding for months, god that thing hauls ass. Really poor low end grunt though :(
 
New air filter and petcock. The old one has been weeping fuel for months but it actually started dripping after last weekend. I bough an acerbis universal and it was the exact same thing I was replacing so win there.

I too have had my fuel tap leaking. Im in need of a new one.
 
I started and rode the 250 around the block yesterday. I had not even touched it since I brought it home and washed it after Last Dog Standing in June. Man I miss the smell and feel of my 2 stroke.
 
Went through the rear suspension bearings, machined new spacers for the rear wheel, and installed the big tank on the CR150 in preparation for the 6hr hare scramble I'm running next month
