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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1982 Wr240 Vs Wr250?

Hi!

New member here, just bought a original 1982 WR240 which I am bringing back to life to use in vintage enduro racing. When I was googling around I noticed that there is a 240 and a 250 version that looks the same, anybody what’s different between the two? I also tried to find the specs on it but can’t find claimed HP anywhere, not that it’s important but because I’m curious.

Anyway, thanks for letting me become a member of this awesome forum. I am sure I will find lots of good information here.

Regards,

Hi Pierre
In France 40 years ago the VAT was 33% for bikes over 240 cm3 and 19.7% for under 240 cm3.
So HVA made 240 cm3 bikes for countries with high VAT.

About the claimed HP it is written clearly on some documents: "Enough power".

Hi Michel,

Thanks for the reply.
That makes sense, also the claimed power as “enough”.
