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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Dyno time?

Leading on from the 'seizing 430' thread. I am just about to run my rebuilt 82' 430 on standard jetting/needle setting etc but I have a guy in a local bike shop who says he will dyno it for me. I know most people won't dyno stinkwheels as it chokes up their sensors but he seems keen? Anyone have any experience with tuning a left kicker Husky 2T on a dyno?
 
I don't Joe, but I will be interested to learn from your experience. If it works out you will have to let me know where to take mine.
 
big load on new engine, id give it some running in time before strapping in to full tit run.

Yep, I found that out with the KTM. It let go 500 miles after but the initial damage was done on the dyno. I'm still not sure wether to give it a go or not, just wondered if anyone else had tried it. If you do several full power runs it does put a full race strain on the motor, but then it should take it. The KTM was 30% up on power and I've since done a lot of work on the bottom end to get it hopefully somewhere near bullet proof. the bottom end on the Husky looks like its from a tank engine. I'll see how it runs and probably just ride it if I get the jetting close without dyno, we'll see.
 
i took a mates new dr 400 to a dyno completely oblivious to what happens and was horrified at what they did to it!! fortunately he sold the bike after a while to get an mxer. I didnt have the heart to tell him it was pinnned to the stops with only a hundred or so Km on the clock! cheers
