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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

cant select any more gears than 1st n 2nd ,3rd.????

Did you already put the cases back together? I hope not. I always dump the gear cluster, drum and forks into the primary half of the center case and the roll the output shaft while turning the drum and observing the transmission. Did it shift before you took it apart, or is it something that you bought without having it run? Bent shift forks will cause it to not shift. Sometimes, you can get a fork mixed up in it's placement on the shaft or where you placed the pin in the drum. I once had an old engine that I bought a shift fork from a junkyard for. I thought that it was the right part, but it was not. I had to machine the base to get it to slide all the way to engage the gear it was supposed to. You might have a freewheeling gear in facing the wrong way on it's shaft or a slider in wrong. Hope you have some detailed diagrams to look at so you can check to see what the mistake is. If you checked before assembling the two centercases and it all turned in every gear then, but not after, check you gear shift mechanism and make sure that is assembled right.
 
i brought it as a complete basket case which didnt even run. i assembled to expolded diagram . but as u say i may have something round wrong way or something?? im going to disasemble engine and take a look. seems like u know what ur doing. i may be back for ur help. thanks for ur advise
 
i found when i rebuilt mine from scratch (xc 500) that it seemed a bit stiff and didnt seem to engage very well .so i put a socket on the end of a battery drill and put it on the output shaft (front sprocket) span it up and it went up and down the gearbox fine . not saying that is right but thats what i did and proved to me all was ok inside...still is at the mo ....
 
I was thinking shift drum/shift fork comes to mind first, but others have the experience. I like the idea of testing before final assembly, that's a good pointer I will use myself.
