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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1978 390 CR KICK STARTER WILL NOT ENGAGE

After laying down my bike in a race my 1978 CR390 the kick starter will only engage on the 1st kick after it wont engage unless i let it slap up hard, then it engages one kick and then i can try 100 times without engageing ,then if i release it hard, it will again engage once. any hrlp?
 
pull the sidecase off and make sure to leave the kickstarter assy alone until you get the sidecase off, as its all contained inside...you should be able to see whats going on at that point
 
When my '79 250OR did that, it was the little nub on the end of the spring had broken off.
