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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Where can I find a clutch spring for a 430?

I've searched everywhere on google. I just bought an 87 or 88 Husqvarna 430 dual sport knowing it needed new clutch springs. I however searched everywhere using google and can't find anywhere that I can find springs. Does anyone have recommendations for this kind of part?
 
ah, you did not say it was an auto! i was wondering why you said you were having a hard time

Yea I've looked everywhere, even the links you gave me. I've got a 1987 husqvarna wr430 with an automatic transmission, which apparently is EXTREMELY rare.

I tried Hals last night, they don't have it. I just contacted hva. If I can't get this part which it's starting to look like, does anyone have other suggestions? Could I get like a door spring and jerry rig it to fit? I'm pissed because the bikes almost completely complete except 3 damn clutch springs!
 
Found it! Ebay, but apparently my bike has some kind of replacement hub so it uses older springs, which I found. Considering how rare the 1987 430 AE is, I'm starting to consider this a steal for $500. Everything's complete that I know of except these springs and minor stuff like turn signals and the horn.
 
It 'd be better for you to put your next threads about your 430 ae on vintage/ left kickers.
We talk about husqvarna from the beginning to 88'.
 
The 88 AE is a 3 speed auto, and the 86-87 AE is a 4 speed auto. The main reason the 1st gear springs break is the the clutch shoes are worn, and over strech the springs. The 1st grar springs are different than the 2-4 springs. Be sure the grooves in the 1st gear clutch is clean and straight with square groove sides on them, and measure the clutch wear as per the manual. You MUST change the gear oil after EVERY ride or race.
Olhins light shock oil is the same as Husky AE gear oil. Pull all the grars and clutchs after every 10 hours running, and inspect everything for wear.
Always run it wide open and hang on, or off the gas. Nothing pulls or climbs like a Husky AE.
