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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Can't push 390 CR backwards....

Can't push 390 CR backwards when engine running, in gear and clutch engaged.

She starts and goes, but went I stop, pull in the clutch and try to move the bike backwards, the rear wheel is firmly locked.

Any ideas of the cause?

I am probably going to have to split the cases to change the LH crank seal anyway. I would like to put her back together without the fault in the gearbox.

look at the chain when trying to move backwards . that will tell you if it is wheel related or engine related . not just clutch drag is it ?
 
the kicker is 1spline too many forward? brakes arn't going "over centre" and locking the rearwheel?
