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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I'm rebuilding the front forks on my '87 430 WR and I need the specs for oil viscosity and oil quantity/level. Anyone got experience with the WR forks?

It appears no one is helping you, sorry about that.

Perhaps someone will now notice this and help :thumbsup:
 
George at Uptite Husqvarna in Santa Ana, California will help if you call him and ask him****************************************!!

Also, you might want to give Race Tech in Corona - Matt Wiley a call if you are planning on rebuildimg or re-springing.

Also Phillip at HusqvarnaParts in Arizona.

Lots of variables. Rider weight, ability, terrain. Start with 10 wt oil, 6 inches from the top, with the springs removed and forks collapsed. You can always add more oil, up to 4 inches from the top to stiffen up the final stroke. If you're a heavy, you may want to start with 15wt or 20wt oil.
