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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Cases difference

Guys,

Was going to mount the trans side gears and clutch yesterday and ran into a problem. My new case did not have threads to screw the bracket/washer below the kick start support gear.

Should I thread the holes to mount the bracket I have on my old case or did Husqvarna use another solution for these cases with a non-screwed washer?

Please see attahed picture to explain a little furhter my issue,

All the best
Lars

No one? I actually cannot find this part in any of the spare part catalogues I look in. Strange. Without a washer or anything below the gear it will not clear the clutch washer
 
I think you have old and new transposed. The one with the bolts was most likely an attempt to keep the cracking of the case at that spot down to lower levels. Upon a kick back the whole case can crack right up to the gasket surface. I got a new set of cases once and that part and the two bolts were on it so that is most likelywhy there is no part number. Though I didn't look in the parts sheets where that design is to be expected. Just like a pressed in bushing or something like that. It is kind of strange there are the holes but not the ribs and machining on the earlier cases. One could consider to bolt it and put some high grade epoxy behind it however what is pressed into the case might be differnt. There is no need to take those little bolts out and if one does there is the danger they forget to put them back.

Fran, Thank you for your reply. I was not very clear with the "old" and "new" sign on the picture....I meant MY old case and my NEW one, but you are right in that when talking production years, the reinforced one is the newer one :) Sorry for the confusion..

My new case (which is older..) is in great shape but does not have the reinforcement. I bought a new gear set for the transmission side, and everything fits great except for the idle gear which seems to be needed to be shimmed up from the casing a little to clear the clutch washer (just 1-1.5mm or 0.004"). So I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a difference in the height of the gears for these two cases or if you typically put a shim below the gear.
 
Machined the idle gear to fit with acceptable clearance to the clutch washer in the casing. Came out great. Might have a correct gear coming in as well, but will see how this fits today.

At some point those starting gears changed a bit. It might coincide with when the case change occurred. Way at the end near 1988 the angled tooth end was eliminated and the gear teeth were square edged. If you put a straight edge across the clutch cover gasket surface is the depth to where the gear rides the same? I think the later Perhaps 1984 to 1985 range for the change have less larger teeth. One thing I started doing maybe right maybe not is to put a shim behind the kick start gear to make it as close to the engagement pawl as possible. Your spot that kick shaft goes into on the case half is nice so it might not fit but that spot is often kind of chewed up.
