250-500cc Husqvarna 360 The update thread

Oldschool warning

Since I'm a 360-addict I'd like to dedicate this thread to this almighty brutal beast. I read there was this huge thread over at TT but it seems to have been deleted. Too bad, I really love these bikes and I'd like to know more about them. Feel free to contribute and correct any faults. I have left out decals because I guess they are redesigned every year.

Also I have this question: Do the plastics from later models, like for example 2002, fit my 1996 or do I have to switch gas tank ?

I know 95-99 plastics are the same, i think the 2000 year plastics and tank were different. Anyone have a decent 360 for sale cheap? lol it is my all time favorite Husky that runs right up there with a nice 610.

There was a 360 in the classifieds section just 2 weeks ago, cant find it anymore. Maybe he changed his mind or got it sold. I'd like to switch my ´96 panels to the ´99 . Much nicer design and slimmer. Fitted with the 99 seat its gonna look really nice Upgrading the gas tank to be able to get 2000+ models is a bit too expensive I'm afraid.

The huge thread was on Dirtrider net in the KTM/Euro Bikes section,its a shame it disapeared as there was lots of great info there,I have looked at over that site with no luck

Oh that´s right, it was Dirtrider. Hopefully someone saved it locally.

Anyone know what years they updated the frame? You can still get a brand new one at ebay.de. Almost for free , 699euro!

Here is my updated WR360.

Hello,

There is information in this french link

http://www.leguidevert.com/_V5/moto.php?marquerech=Husqvarna&cylindreerech=300-399cc&moteurrech=2_Temps&genrerech=enduro&anneerech=ann%E9e&anneerech2=%28optionnel%29&ordre=Go+%21

be careful, maybe the european year model isn't the same in north america.

Here is a picture of my 2000.

Those panels are 1995. 1996 were white.

Gosh that's a doll baby. Has she ever actually been in the dirt or is she just a trailer queen?

I had my 360 listed with no price and no real intention of doing anything other than satisfying she who must be obey'd. I had a couple of inqueries but I really did not want to sell it.

Atta boy Walt!

@gem: I like! Since you went from '01, I suppose it was less parts that needed changing compared to if I would to rebuild my ´96. Guessing, tank(if the new one even fits), seat, fenders, panels, alu subframe?

@hva_fr_st: thanks alot! Will use the info!

@NumberCruncher: Now that's one clean bike! About the panels; damn, you're right!

For sure! Some things doesn't seem quite right. In the middle 90's I rode a 360 ´93 and that bike did not have the "square" swing arm nor the Dellorto 37mm. In fact, none of the 93´s I have seen have had that swing arm. Anyways, great site, thanks

So, can anyone confirm when the mikuni replaced the dellorto?


edit:
Or have the US model always had the Mikuni?

My 93 had a mikuni.

Skyldig,

I am almost sure that Gem just did a motor transplant with his 360 into his 07 WR250 frame. I did this with my 06 WR 250 for a while and it is a direct swap.

Walt

That is when she was brand new. Here is one of her on the beach.



NC

I had a 1995 360 and a 1996 610 so I remember the colors well.

NC

Hoooo baby,...just look at that little hottie playin' in the sand with her little paddle tire on!

Why do I have "I wish they all could be California girls" playing in my head now?


Make sure she gets a nice shower to get all that salt off her after a day at the beach like that!
