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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I've had a noise on my husky since I've owned it and covered about 750 miles since and the noise has not got any worse. I have been reading threads on here for a while and found a video that sound just like my bike. I pulled the clutch out and inspected the gears and basket but all ok. I then pulled the cylinder off and found that the piston had very light marks on the inlet side, although I find it hard to be causing the noise on my engine. Anyways I have a E marked barrel and need to sorce the correct size piston kit.
Have checked with husky and costs £185. Has anybody got any cheaper alternatives they use that I can get in the uk?
Any help greatly appritiated.

I don't know how slight your marks are on the piston but slight marks are quiite normal in the port areas. Can you catch you finger nail on them?
Besides a loose piston the wrist pin & bearing is a comon source of a sound and unless real loud, normal too.
I don't know about the availability, but Wiesco makes a good forged replacement that is cheaper than OEM. I think the last one I got was around 160$.
 
Hi buddy you may want to try off road only there based in wales they can supply everything you need. piston choice is wiseco, wossner (which i prefer) pro-x or mitaka.
 
Thanks guys will look them up tomorrow, thinking as its out I may as well replace it then I know it's all good.
Where can I get torque figures for all fixings etc? And how to set up clutch and power valve? Struggling to find workshop manual.
 
here you go

Cylinder nut
M10x1,25 15,9÷18,1 lbft

Cylinder head nut
M8x1,25 13÷14,5 lb ft



hope this helps
 
Nice one.... Just need the mrs to give me some spare time now to re build and most importantly test.!
 
You don't have to fiddle with the power valve settings actually..unless you really want to.
You should be able to find a Wossner piston online, with rings and bearings for about 100 pounds or so.
