• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I am restoring my 74 250 Mag,I am the first owner and the 4th owner,I bought it new in 74.
Afew years ago I tracked it down & bought it back.
So far I have lots of money in it ,but have it to a rolling chassis.
6speed gear box,radial head,Mikuni carb,new tires,shocks & forks rebuilt,new plastic ,tank repainted.
My question is how much oil in transmission & what kind.
Somebody told me to use straight 30w for the clutch plates.

My question is how much oil in transmission
Vinskord post is one way, another way is to fill the gearbox until oil spills out the hole on the clutch case marked "Niva" while stand the bike up straight.
