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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1987-88 250 crank case

mismatched cases may make a nice trued crank vibrate like a washer on spin cycle with a cinder block in it!
 
I seem to recall some rather large in size, kind of hand written/scratched number inside the place for the crankshaft. Often this area has the paint or coating rubbed to metal so such is not visible. I guess I could study some of the cases. Seem to recall that some of the cases I took apart could be seen as the same. It would be relatively easy to put the mis matched cases together, put on a vertical mill or similar with an appropriate indicator and see if the bores for the crank and bearings do in fact line up. I have changed one of them as has the local dealer at the time at least in the 1985-86 model.

What entity made the cases may vary, I have been told the auto cases were made in a different place, will just guess the four stroke ones being aluminum were also made there, just a guess.
