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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi
I'm working on the 500 ae motor I received without electric coil.
I have two spares parts in my garage.
The red wire is 30 cm long.
The black wire is 39cm long.

Which one could fit my motor ?
Thanks
Michel

what is the color of the wires from your Motoplat, the red wire will work on any Motoplat but the black will only work on certain ones, since I don't retain all info in my head a short search will reveal which one, there are links here on Café Husky
 
hi Mick
I think that red or black is the same , it is an electric power wire
the short it's for frame with twin rear shock , the long for one monoschock
 
Red wire coil can be used on early or late Motoplats,the later ones have a diode in the stator,look at the flywheel there should be a diode symbol stamped in between 12V 35W{or 40W for 1980}.Red wire coil only on diode systems

never noticed a diode symbol will definitely look
 
1984 Auto 500,,,, that is one bike that I really want. Been looking for one nearby for a long time.
Actually, I would settle for any year auto. In my area (Vancouver Island BC Canada) Swedish Huskies are not that common, probably 10 or 20 can-ams would come up for sale for every Husky. This is my latest - 1979 qualifier 370

Those Can Ams are sure good lookers..........not! A face only it's mother could love. I hear they have great motors though. Get the Husky as soon as possible and put the orange machine in the back of the shed!

HAHa, Yeah I call these orange ones pumpkins. These are actually pretty similar to riding a husky wr, good power with lots of flywheel weight, wide ratio transmission (5 speed), good suspension, really good seat. Not too much to complain about, I can't even think of anything right now.

Yeah, they do have that whistling sound. You can kind of hear it at the end of this video.
We did get the smoking issue fixed on this bike ( I think the carb slide was in backwards or something stupid like that.) This particular bike is really really fast, for real fast. 1975 mx2 250.
