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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Wow. Great find. The bike looks new. Looks like it's only missing a number plate decal.
30 years old. Cool.

Check out this old 175 seen at the Castella Vinduro. Had a weird rubber end in the muffler to stop water getting in?

DO NOT ride the bike with the stock jetting! The stock jetting is so lean I am shocked that every single '83 175 did not seize on the first ride. Joe's jetting is close, but mine is even a bit richer still than his.
 
Are you oop norf, or daan saf Martin ?
We have a great source for parts down here at HVA Factory.
Looks like there is not much needed, other than the rear fender and a headlamp unit. Not forgetting the dreaded MOT and registration.
Are you going to Telford in Feb ?

Definiteley needed richer (except pilot)

all to do with altitude and temperature as well

Like they say in real estate, Location....Location.....Location!
 
The stock jetting for the '82 125 is a 470 main, I have a 530 main in my 175 and I would probably go richer if I could find one.
