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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

83 XC 125 any power mods?

I'm considering an 83 XC 125 project but all the literature at the time comments on the lack of power.

I realize its 125 in a 240 frame etc but is there any known porting or pipe work that can lift a couple of HP from the donk?

Note I'm not trying to turn it into a 12000 rpm light switch rocket (i'd by a CR /RM etc) but just testing the knowledge bank out there for any clues on good mods...

cheers
 
Cheers Michel, thats the sort of thing i was looking at. O mate is a wizz with the tool so we will grab a barrell and have a good look at it. I figured a good tidy up and matching of the transfers alone will give it a lift but some slight changes as noted can give it a bit more punch.
 
Install the cylinder with a stock base gasket and measure the squish distance at TDC (piston-to-head clearance). Contact Cometic about having custom thinner base gaskets made and get that squish to .036" (they already make them for our 250/430/500 bikes). Or, have the base of the cylinder milled to get there. There is a good tutorial on RBDesigns website on how to use solder to take the measurement.
