    Hi there.
    I just bought a frame complete with everything except the engine and the guy told me the bike was a 250.
    Checking my books using the frame number I see this bike is a 500 cross.
    The frame number is
    XP 01671
    Anybody can help me please?
    If that is correct (500 cross) I need an engine too.....
    Am I asking too much, guys ?
    Thanks.

    Frame looks like a 1985 XC 125 (0963) or XC 250 (0975) or XC 500 (0992), i.e. same frame fits all. Engine numbers in brackets.

    Husqvarna-parts.com says

    year model frame Engine number
    1985 500 XC XP-01000 992

    but like Stu said they all the same frame dimensions.

    finding a 500XC motor (liquid cooled) will be harder to find & more expensive,then say a 250

    depending on what you plan on doing with bike, the 400WR motor is 1 of Huskys best &
    will also fit right in.

    Is the swingarm pivot bolt still a nice tight fit in the holes in the frame?
