Introduction

Just wanted to say hi. My brother and I picked up a 1986 WR 400 about a month ago. So our dive into the world of "Vintage Left Kickers" was immediate and been quite the little journey so far. I never thought I would be a daily Ebay surfer, but boy was I wrong! Finding "official" data on these bikes has been quite the scavenger hunt. I even used Google Archive to go back to 2012 to pull some old files from this site.

Looking forward to reading all the threads and telling stories!

Welcome to the land of the Vintage Husky. You'll find plenty of helpful members here. With respect to vintage Huskys, you'll soon discover that you can't have just one.

welcome and the bike looks pretty decent! youll find these bikes have some quirks but are rewarding and durable when set up right. post some more pics!

I dual sport my 430. Great bikes! Welcome aboard!

welcome friend

Welcome Steve, I have downloaded some '86 to '88 parts and workshop manuals before they disappeared not long ago, let me know if you want copies.
Tony.

Awesome! I think I have them. I have the 86 2 Stroke Engine Repair Manual, and the 86 Owner Manual, and the 86 Data Sheet. Are those different than what you have? I'd be happy to share as well.

You know it! I'm headed down south of Denver later today to pick up a 84 WR 400 erector set. (Bike is in boxes)

Well I bought the other Husky $350. Only after doing a VIN search, it's a 1986 XC 400 .... now the weird part. After looking up the VIN and comparing it to the WR 400 VIN, my two Husqvarna's are only 497 bikes apart! What are the chances of that happening! Pic is bad, we had to wash the mouse droppings off before we took it home.

nice project....your hooked...lol

I think we have the same manuals apart from the parts manuals, I have the '87 and '88 parts manuals, do you have them?

Nice bikes, i have 3 1986 XC 400s
1 rider and 2 for spare parts

Got Husky #2 up and running today ... my brother rode it and was still shaking from the adrenaline an hour later hahaha

I do have the parts manual too.

Here they are!! My small stable of 86 400's

Of course a few minor things to go before they are completely finished, like fork boots on the closest one! (darn USPS slowness)
