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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250 Billet intake manifold

Hello - I purchased a billet intake manifold for my '87 250WR to replace the NLA disintegrating rubber one on my bike. When I went to install it didn't fit because there is a white plastic flow transition piece fits in the reed cage and extends into the intake manifold. I took a look at the parts manual to see what is going on, and it appears Husky only used this transition piece on the '86, '87 and '88 250 models. The 400/430 did not get them even though they use the same intake and reed cage. Has anyone else just removed this transition when switching to a billet intake? I'm guessing I won't really won't notice a difference but curious if anyone else has other opinions. Thanks.

Your either need to cut the white part off, use an original 430 reed cage, or get a V-Force reed set up.
I would grind the white piece off. I've run both stock and V-Force. Stock if in good condition run just as good for the average joe. IMHO
