• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

1976 WR 360 Help

Hey there,

I am in the process of restoring my WR but the bottom end is in worse shape than expected.
I am having a really hard time locating the bottom end for a WR 360 anywhere online so my question was this:

Can I take a WR 250 Bottom end and put the Crank / top end from a 360 on it as a direct swap?
My initial thinking is that I could do this but I am having a hard time finding any info on this anywhere.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
 
I'd also love to hear your question answered. I have a incomplete 360 motor off a parts bike and a 250WR rider that would be fun to bump up to a 360.

No the cases are different were the cylinder fits into the cases. The 250 cases have to small of an opening for the 360 cylinder to fit in.

With most of the cranks I have rebuilt, usually the only part I use again is the webs. The shafts are usually worn where the bearings sit, and the oil seals wear a nice groove. No end of new seals will cure that. The rod kits come with a new big end pin anyway. If you plan on keeping the bike and using it, then why not replace those parts.
Pictures would help.
 
The 250 centercases have too small of a crank well to take the 360 crankshaft. That is not such an issue with the primary kick centercases as Husqvarna saved quite a bit of capital by making the centercases with a reduction web for 250 applications and removed for the big bore applications
