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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Clutch Cover Hex Screws '82 Xc 250

I haven't come across any torque specs for the hex screws securing the clutch cover, anyone know or have a good recommendation. Also, other than slotting in a new gasket, any other recommendations so that I don't end up with a drip?

Thanks,
Adam
 
Do you mean the socket head cap screws? The kind one would use an allen wrench on.

Free recommendations
a) get or make a T shaped tool with the hex towards the bottom of the T and the hand goes on the top part.
b) glue the gasket to the cover. I generallly have used the red/orange rtv silicone type stuff but recently have discovered the black stuff is much stronger just isn't rated to as high heat. This keeps the gasket from sticking on one surface in some places and on the other surface in other places often resulting a severly damaged gasket.
c) make sure you put the longer screws where the locating pins are as if you put a short one there the threads might pull out.
