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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

510 Airfilter

My 510 came with an an empty airbox.
I know the original was some kind of paper filter with a wire mesh gauze.

I am using a 81 maico filter and cage (perfect fit and I had it), but how necessary is the mesh ? for backfires I know)

Any problems not using a the wire mesh?
 
maybe the the wire mesh is a not such a bad idea!
would take a long time to get the seat off!

Air with the compressor.

If you have cleaned a K&N air filter with compressed air, please throw it in the trash, as you have ruined the physical characteristics that make it work. The filter is constructed of layers of gauze between the pleats of screening. Once you blow air through it, you make all the air spaces in the weave line up in the gauze so that lots of dirt can pass through.

The way to clean a K&N is to dunk it repeatedly in warm soapy water or use the K&N cleaning kit, then let dry naturally.
