• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 recently picked up a 1982 cr430 and am having trouble finding out the size for the nut on the rear axle. if anyone could help itd be greatly appreciated
 
go to husqvarnaparts.com and download a parts manual for the bike. look at the rear axle assembly and the part no will specify the nut size... easy. print it off and leave it in the shed.
 
I don't think there are any witworth or english system fastners on these bikes. The bore of the wheel bearings is 15 mm as is the axle and axle nut. The pitch is something logical no more complicated than quarter milimeter increments. I am pretty sure it is one mm per turn so 15x1 is the definition of the nut's inside. Whether it is a bit bigger where a wrench contacts it than a standarn metric nut of that size I can't tell you. Generally just measure the diameter and count out 10 threads and measure that. It would be a fine or extra fine being as close together threads as that in 15mm. I am almost certain a 24mm socket fits that nut.

Ok 15x1.5


The front one is the same isn't it? The disc brake on the front got a more complex axle nut set up but I suspect in 1982 the axle nut was the same front and rear. One can always use known bolts (or marked taps) to check the pitch if you don't want to count and divide or have a thread guage. One for the clutch cover is 6x1 for instance.

I put a picture of a 16x2 grade 8.8 nut to show how the axle nut differs from a standard nut at least the kind I encounter.
