• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 have the upgraded primary gear set complete and with the clutch on Ebay. The clutch gear with the coarse or big tooth pinion on the back #272.

Yes, I saw them..with due respect..I would need to mortgage my house to buy..
 
I was sitting looking at the clutch basket..I've read that the issue is the small gear has not been hardened "properly" or sufficiently..and over time with use the teeth wear through..anyone had the small gear hardened..might solve the issue..? Anyone..?
 
The needle roller bearing that fits inside the clutch gear many times has the plastic cage and this allows the bearing/cage to twist and then the gear does not engage with the idler gear straight on causing much of the wear. Best to change that needle/roller bearing to the one with the steel cage. Husky finally did that much later.
