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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Does any body know a good tuner

Sorry,I have to ask.Why in the world do find the need to port a 500 Husky.If you really feel the bike is lacking,I would think a differant pipe would give you the best bang for your buck.
 
Seeking low level orbit?
I was taking to George about these bikes and he said they often de-tuned them....I think he lowered compression.
 
Two reasons, 1st: I love to tinker around on things.. 2nd: I think more power=more fun. Yeah, I might not need more power, but I always like more power. I'd like to buy an aftermarket pipe for it, but I don't see any available. As far as lowering compression, I like the snap and wouldn't want to lose any. If anything I'd like it to pull a little harder through the midrange and rev alittle quicker
 
I got a Pro Form pipe and will just blueprint the motor. Certainly matching the transfer ports to the crank cases could make some difference. Just blueprinting the motor and matching all the ports and some work on the reed block will give you a significant increase in power and actually mprove reliability, porting may well render the bike unusable (push the power up the rev range and narrow the powerband) and scrap the barrel. Tractable power rules!!
