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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Difference in 1979 390 OR and 390 Auto Manual

We have a 390 OR, but online I seem to be finding only 390 Automatic owner's manuals. How different are these bikes - can I use the 390 Auto is basically my question.

The 390 OR we have will need to be disassembled completely, cleaned and restored - so I'd like to make sure I can put it back together (and "fix" correctly the things that need fixed).

Thanks...
 
The 250 engine is the same as far as a manual and assembly/disassembly would go, just different bore and stroke Even the '77-up air cooled 125 uses the same transmision/clutch parts, so one of those manuals would give you basically any info you would need to rebuild a 390.
 
Go to the Vintage tech ref and parts section on the home page, use the MK ML work shop manual on page 2.
Can't figure out how to paste the link?

OK - Thanks a ton for all your info - the comparison of the 250 engine, and the Workshop Manual. Looks like the Workshop Manual "includes" anything that the owner's manual would have anyway. Someone posted a owner's manual, but some pages got cut off and I'm just not that knowledgeable to fill in the missing text :doh:
