77 WR250 back from the dead

enjoying your build!

www.husqvarna-parts.com has new Magura kill switches that would be a direct replacement for what you have and still cost less than using one off one of the japanese mx bikes. I would go new over used for something like a kill .switch just because I want it to work when I need it.

I have the Motoplat but I lost the stupid cover. I may just buy a replacement.

Thanks I'm enjoying it too

Anyone know where to get NOS or good quality cables?
I have the originals but the clutch it so stuck I need pliers to get it to move inside the sheath.
It's the type with the built in oiler but the cap is long gone.

Venhill cables are available across the pond. They work fine for me.
As far as kill switches go, I will always use a genuine Yamaha one. Waterproof and hassle free. All my bikes have them.

Andy and Phil have those dont they???

Who are they?

any motion pro cables are nice units for sure.
if you are going to own a husky, you need to be able to do a little searching..if even just searching here on this site let alone the rest of the internet. heres phils place
Husqvarna-parts.com

heres andys in the uk

well Phil's link aint workin for me but Andy's is

mine is! i thought you crashed phils site, lol

I've done lots of searching but I thought one source might be better than another.
I looked at the Venhill sites. Weird thing the USA site doesn't list 77 but the British one does.
Motion pro doesn't specifically call out that year either
The others referred to have cables designed for Mikuni carbs. IDK if the ball ends are different.
I'm using a Bing 54.
Thanks again for all the help. I'd be a lot less done without it.

Yes, I too didn't know who Andy and Phil were. a couple months later, and several orders... and yes we are now on a first name basis.
Welcome to the club!

You can also try Terrycable. http://www.halls-cycles.com carries Terrycable and has a lot of vintage stuff

I called Venhill and talked to the rep out of Austin TX.
They are made in England and all have stainless cable with teflon liners so they seem to be good quality.
I ordered all three for a 77WR250.
One good thing is they give the option of black or grey sheathing so I picked grey to match the stock ones.
I also checked out Terrycable but they don't have anything for Husky listed.

I have been using Venhill Cables nearly all by biking life. The only time I didn't, I regretted it !!!
They are good. Not sure if it applies to your 77, but the 78's have a choice of CR or WR front cables. Make sure you get the right one if you are running a front light and speedo !

There wasn't a choice but the did say I could return them if they didn't work.
Why would brake/clutch/throttle be different with lights?

76 and 77WR are the same 77 and 78 cr are different from 77WR s

You guys are even going with the orginal color cable housings too? Do they have the orginal lube bracket on them?
