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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Crank snout sizes

I've read lots of info on Husky crank snouts and I am really really confused. I read the Husky Club piece on crank snouts, and I still cant figure it out. I want to get a PVL for my '82 125/175 and I want an MZ-B for my '83 175, but for the life of me I cant figure out which one to get. The Penton Imports site is not any more helpful, and neither is the MZ-B website. I have looked up the OEM part numbers for the snouts and they are all the same from '74-'86 so whatever the 125 size is, it did not change in '82 like the 250-up did. So, anybody know what size I need to order?
 
I had some issues a while ago. If you read THIS thread you may find a little help. Look towards the last few posts.
It is possible that the Husqvarna parts book was also incorrect for the 125/175 too.
 
I've seen that chart on Husky Club and I think its wrong. I think this is correct:

This is what caused me to go to the Husky parts lists and confirm that the 125 crank snout part numbers did not change. I really do not believe Husky would have gone to the trouble to update the snout on the 125 in '82, since the rest of the bottom end is the same as previous years, I believe all they did was make the new big reed cylinder. I guess I'll just have to take the flywheel off my Cousin's '82 250CR and my '82 125 and compare them.
 
An update, the above list from the Husky Club is incorrect. I just tried to install a PVL for a '75-'76 175 on my '82 125 and it is not the same taper. The stator installs correctly but when the rotor is seated it only goes about 1/3rd the way down into the stator. It looks like Husky did indeed update the '82 125 mag side snout when they did the 250-up bikes.
 
They seem to have updated it to the medium shaft used on 82 250 and up. I already sent that info to the Yahoo Husky forum along with the link to Penton Racing as Penton Imports closed some time ago. www.pentonracingproducts.com Application tab
 
Yup, there is no doubt Husky updated the 125s in '82 to the same size as all of the bigger bikes, I know that for sure now that I have tried the '80-older "small shaft" rotor. I had read the Penton application list before, but I didnt think it was correct because the Husky parts lists all the way from '74 to '86 show the same number for the 125 crank snout, they obviously didnt update the part number when they updated the snout. The PVL I have I got from my Uncle in trade for some stuff, his bike is a '76 175, but the PVL number for the "small shaft" Husky's is the same as for the Sachs 100/125 so I can use it on one of my Pentons.
