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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Regarding clutch adjustment, I tighten the adjuster on the pressure plate until there is zero clearance, then back it off one turn, just guessing but I would estimate 3-5mm at the arm.

Gearing on my 88 is 13-53 and works great.

Wossner do a piston that only requires a very small mod, not expensive either. It is a standard 240 piston that I have listed on here previously. This one is 1.00mm oversize.

your gearing choice is really the same as his 12-48 but lasts much longer, and is probably a bit easier on the chain as well! i run this same gearing on almost any liquid swede..
