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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

'82 125 transmission assembly

OK, I needed to replace a set of damaged cases and swapped the 5th/6th gears out of a 125SC into my '82 125/175XC. The 125XC did not come with a wide ratio transmission like the bigger bikes, it had the same transmission as a CR. Dwight Rudder told me in '82 Burleson told him that the trick was to put the 5th/6th ratios of a '74 SC into the transmission and you get 1-4 close ratios and a tall 5th/6th. Anyway, I have all the transmission, shift forks, shift shafts, and shift drum in, but I dont have a manual and I cant find one in any of the downloads that shows how to "time" that ratchet gear that turns the shift drum.

I know I am probably doing something really simple wrong, but I cant find a manual.
 
Hi Brian, When I look at your photo's, it seems like I'm looking at my 77 250CR or my son's 79 390CR.

My bikes both have the same gear box and shift linkage.

For proper timing of the trans, you need to put the shift drum in the 4th gear position. Your in neutral now, looks like you need to rotate clockwise to 4th.

Then engage the step feeder with the teeth on the bottom of the shift drum, so that you can visibly see 1 tooth on the bottom (kind of under just outside the shift drum near the case bottom) and the last 2 teeth of the step feeder on the other side, under the shift drum.

Put the selector pawl on the shift shaft and install the shaft through the step feeder gear and out the other side.

The grooves on the selector pawl need to face down so the grooves work with the ratchet sleeve
(the little tube with a spring in it, you already have that in place).

Hope this helps,
Ron
 
Thanks Ron! Yes, from what I understand the 125s use the same transmission only the ratios are different. I did a search and saw the 4th gear mentioned but not exactly the whole process. I think I got it now.
 
I sent you a workshop manual for 1980 -1985 Aircooled including primary kick. Let me know if you got it please

Jim, I got it but it doesnt really address how to time that gear, Ron got me on the right track.

Visiteur1948, your picture shows the transmission in neutral with 4 teeth showing, correct?
 
I verified it, it works in neutral with 4 teeth showing also, in addition to the way Ron said. I did quite a bit of bottom ends this weekend, I can now put these things together in my sleep I think.

Thank you for the help folks.
