    Husqvarna Motorcycle:
    1974 Husky MAG 1975 Husky 400 MK 6-S
    Other Motorcycles:
    Many 73-86 Kawasaki KX's
    There's just not many motorcycles made that look like the 420 and 430's, it's a blend of a concept designers eye, with the final result of true model-maker craftsmanship. Most all the Husky's are beautiful due to the stark craftsmanship. They look like a tool.

    Hey!
    I have also 250 army and i noticed that i have little problem. If i put a lot throttle in first gear then it pull neutral not to second gear.If i drive normally and dont add to much throttle then it jumps second gear normally.Third,fourth gear working well.What could be the problem? How i can fix it? I havent own this bike very long,few weeks only.I want to fix it. :)

    Sounds like the sprag bearing for second is gone or maybe spring breakage. Either way pull the gearbox and check. It's such an easy job. Make sure you pull the auxillary shaft apart too.
