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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I am riding my 86 auto in a H & H in a couple of weeks, does any one know please how long will she run before I need to fill up with petrol? There is no reserve on the tank and I don'f fancy pushing!
 
That's certainly a good question, and it will get all sorts of varying answers. Obviously depends on how much you have your wrist in it. I can't help at all with an answer. The best defense is to ride with someone who can go back to the rescue vehicle for fuel and whatever. Did that just this weekend, riding my CR500 that just suddenly stopped. Sent my bro' off for the rescue vehicle, only to find that the plug wire had come off.
 
In Australia, generally the length between fuel stops in an enduro was 80 klm (50 mile), which the bike will do easily.
 
Thanks Wayne, the time of each race, 1 hour, should mean it lasts easily. Old Geezer I am always at the back, hopefully just in front of the rescue vehicle.:)
 
you can put an Acerbis 2L instead of the headlight
but AE consumes two times less than XC or WR
the engine is never overspeed
the gearbox changes gear automatically before
