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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

'86 250CR mods/tricks ??

Just got a '86 250CR this weekend----made it a 1/2 lap at Diamond Dons before blowing head gasket, but it's a clean original. Any one know any tricks /mods for them as not much info on them. Sendimg the suspension off to RaceTech.
 
Dyna Port still makes pipes for this bike and mossbarger does a reed cage also . NOST suspension also works on this model to handle better . The top vintage bike in the desert 100 in washington state was won on the suspension . Top rate work .
 
Hey man, I was at Diamond Don's I saw you on your bike while I was riding through the pits, that bike looked really clean and original. I raced a '72 Penton 100 in vintage and '82 430WR in PV.
 
I seen you out there on the WR, you were cookin' **************************************** I ended up running the WR400 in PV Pre-Modern....just chugged along as only made it 1/2 lap of practice so wasn't sure of track, still had fun even though rode like a dog. First time to try CC...wow....how in the world is it possible to go as fast as you guys go through that stuff. I took 4 soil samples, 3 in 1 lap----a tree jumped out and knocked my goofy and one of the railroad crossing got me good....can't wait to try it again !!!
 
Strip the motor and match all the ports in the transfers from the case to the barrel and out to the gasket line in the barrel. tidy up all the bridges and clean up any dags in the inlet port. Dont touch the ports in the liner as this will change the power. Better yet, send it of to a husky specialist and he will do that for you! it should give a boost in the mid range.

Check the factory data and see if there are any updates for that model as well.
 
You will need to run a thin film of sealant on the new head gasket. It was actually mentioned in a service bulliten for around that time period. I do that on all the LC motors i build now for the Huskys.
