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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

took the forks out and restacked the compression base valve and redrilled the bleed holes, fingers crossed should sort out the sharp hits, too hot, dry and dusty to ride in a group so will do a few solo test runs.
the engine is a real peach and gets fast real quick, almost want to give the original forks a try just to see how stable it was originally when built but for now will sort through the kayabas and keep the front disc.
followed my son on his cr/wr144 watched him frantically trying to escape me through three gear changes blasting me with pea gravel as i just wound her on in third gear, want to post up the next ride on the go pro to see how it compares to other similar models.its quite sad the gg doesn't get a second look anymore only have eyes for this milk truck.
 
looks awesome, Too HOT and Dry huh, better then the snow & ice we've been getting :banghead:
 
at last we are in for some cooler weather so looks like ride time this weekend, few things since my last update i changed out the ignition coil and replaced it with a casoli moto ac unit with seperate cdi this is the race version without a rev limiter as per pezberq's recommendations for a better spark only $50 ebay chineses pitbike etc.this improves starting even though i already have a decomp valve the bike now starts first kick with choke, no throttle required, before it would start after 4 or 5 with throttle open.
made up a bash plate to stop twigs etc smashing through the cases, changed gearing to 14/52 (recommended by suprize, not recommended by my health insurance company), changed bar position (rying to get it to turn easier).had to change the exhaust after it cracked due me bending it.set my rear springs to have more pre load, sag is down to 90mm instead of 110 (will see how this feels ).
tried a 36mm lectron but went back to the 38mm pwk (the lectron is doing nicely in my gg200), bought a new clutch basket, hub,bearing (steel cage),fibers/steels and brass bushed the kick start and idler gear cogs all in all big improvement to clutch and shifting.
iam now very happy with the bike and how it runs all i have to do is learn how to ride and should be set for the cooler seasons.
