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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

'82 250 pipes

When I picked up my '82 250XC last weekend, I heard the pipes that year on the WR, XC and CR are different. I heard that the XC, WR, and CR all had different expansion chambers, or at least the CR is different than the WR/XC. I had always thought that the WR was different, and that the XC/CR were the same. Anyone know for sure, are there three different pipes or two (WR/XC and CR), and what the differences are? I'd guess the CR is tuned for more mid-top and the WR/XC more even spread, but they look the same to me.

The XC/WR pipes are the same. The XC has the same suspension travel as the CR but has the rear fender loop frame with middle bash bar under the engine like the WR and the same gearing as the WR. The CR gears 4,5,6 are the same as the XC and WR but the CR being close ratio trans has different gears 1, 2, and 3. In regards to the CR pipe, yes it is designed for WOT, probably not too good for trails.
 
Yeah, I knew the other differences in the bikes, I just didnt realize the pipes were different. My pipe is so nice it almost looks NOS. I am going to take it off and get an eBay CR pipe since I prefer mid-top even for woods.
 
I know the 83 XC & CR i have , have different pipes. The CR has straight section the XC doesn't have,
right after the pipe turns to go across the front of the frame.
