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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Cracked case 510LC

Pic shows inside of a liquid cooled 510 left case half.
Would you say that crack is reason enough to scrap it?
It goes through to the other side as well.

That is hard to tell what I am looking at Can you put a picture zoomed out to show the whole case is visible. I would say that is basically scrap. Cast aluminum doesn't weld like aircraft grade.
 
It's at the hole for the shifter mechanism/lever axle.
Im thinking it's difficult to get it good enough since I reckon the force from the secondary shaft pushes there.

That picture most likely is an 85 and earlier 250 two stroke. I see it really was inside the case. Most problems to put a bike or engine to parts probably are not this issue. The one at the swingarm pivot more so on the other side for case issues.

Yup, it's from a '87 2T manual. Didn't have any good 4T pics (I'm at work..).
I've not much too lose trying to get it welded as it's an extra pair of cases I've got. Still, always nice with spares!
 
The manuals do tend to use pictures from years prior. Rather significantly different in the later auto bike. Perhaps that damage could occur forcing improperly aligned things together.
 
The damage is most likely from a thrown cam chain wrecking havoc in the clutch case.
