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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1988 Wr 430

Can anyone give me the correct part number for the cylinder for this bike? The cylinder I have is stamped 1614574 and the bore measures 82.71mm. If this is the correct cylinder, could it be bored to the correct size? Or would it need a new sleeve?
 
For an 88 430WR the part # is 16 14 488-01 (see page from parts book). With a bore of 82.71, it looks like it might be for an earlier 400. What are the first 4 digits of the engine #?

I found a cylinder with the same part number that I posted with a bore of 86.99mm, would this work for my wr?
 
if memory serves and it's been a while
the 430 is a larger bore 400, same casting hence the cast number being the same
the 430 uses a larger sleeve, they share a stroke, so 400- 430 is a cylinder and piston swap
obviously more power, cost is vibration
same pipe, same crank, same carb (different jetting), same intake, etc
hope that helps
