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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

what oil

Pretty much any oil designed for motorcycles with the engine, clutch, and transmission sharing oil. I think you are supposed not to use oil with the energy conserving on the bottom portion of the rating logo. I have in the past used the red cap Mobil 1 which did not have that energy conserving logo but last I looked they have changed their product line.

Added later, The red cap was 15-50 besides a grey cap the labeling on a modern "bottle" seems the same, nothing in the lower segment of the circle.
 
JASO MA is the stuff i was told to look for
it's a 4 stroke motorcycle oil, i bought Castrol
 
that will be determined by you temps you run in
cold start is the hardest thing to overcome, too thick of an oil will not protect a cold engine as it can't get there quick enough
typically fault for the thinner or preheat you oil with an heater under the engine, they did that with WWII airplane engines
 
its really hard to say what oil. it seems people in different countries have much different oils to pick from for some reason.
