What is the year of this bike?

[86 400 XC]

Its a runner thats needs some work for 700 bucks.
Driving out to get it Saturday.
But the young guy passed away on a street bike sad deal.
His dad called me to sell it and he knows that it has a new ignition, as he paid for it.
Other than that it needs a water pump but he is not sure about year or size.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Looks like a 1990 510.

I thought 89 and here is a nice 1 with all decals still
I will get the decals made up by my buddy

Perhaps in Canada it is a 1989, but in the USA that is a 1990 510 WXE. No 1989's were sold in America. That has a rear frame loop so it is the enduro model similar to your top photo of the clean bike. I own a 1990 510 WMX similar to your bottom photo. Those were the first year of the Italian Huskys and many Sweede 510 parts will interchange.

It is an 89. if it does not have adjustable (red caps) on the wp forks but marzocchis it is the Enduro.

www.evo-mx.com make the decals for us, so don't bother patterning them... The bike in the later thread was one of mine and an enduro one really. Andy.

That model was made in Italy by Castiglioni in CAGIVA factory at Schiranna....
Using parts from Sweden and new parts made in Italy.
Still a Husqvarna but to me being not made in Sweden doenst deserse so much attention..
Anyway, for 700 bucks take it.
Be aware of heads. That year had exaust valves made in two pieces......welded together....the worst idea ever thought.....
as always MY PERSONAL OPINION...

well, the rubber on clucth cable seems to show customers a very good attention to build the engine but reality was so so different.... am sorry. those models had so may problems that forced CAGIVA Factory to sell the brand.....
