• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 hub circlip/mainshaft question

1979 250wr - my clutch wouldn't disengage, so i pulled the cover. found the left side seal most likely blown out, the fluid was thin with gas...
clutch moved in and out when i pulled the lever, but i noticed the inner hub was not moving. i removed plates. the snapring on the mainshaft had some pre-load on it, and wouldn't come off. when i popped the circlip (yes it popped!), the main shaft retreated into the case about 1mm... now the shaft won't come back enough to put the inner hub back on with circlip.

the bike still shifts fine.

is this a bent shift fork? i can't see what else would pull the main shaft back... or am i missing something - can i shift it into a gear the pushes the front shift forks towards the left side? or am i gonna have to split the cases??
 
Steve,
As you already know-your my hero:thumbsup: A story is as only good as the pictures of the story in ones head as the story is read=priceless!

Chapter two would be the stories candid and not candid by the spectators of that "occurance"
