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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi All have a 84 WR250 and the frame tabs the foot pegs rest on are worn away , Was thinking of building them up with weld and grinding back , just looking for some input if you think this will work , or any good ideas . Have some new pegs have tried them on so not just old worn pegs.

Cheers Dave
 
i dont see too many other options to fix the frame tabs being worn down..just try to get enough surface area restored so the peg has a surface to ride on. i have done this on car spindles that get notches worn in them where the brake pads ride, seems to hold up..
 
I'm not familiar with your bike... that kind of wear sounds odd to me... but like I said I'm not familiar with that model.

Unless the 84 had a mild steel instead of a heat treated chrome-moly steel frame like the earlier models, I'd avoid welding anywhere near it. I would do the welding build up on the pegs and not the frame if at all possible...

Chrome-moly frame i thought new foot pegs would cure the problem but no, may take your advise and try to build up the underside of the new peg.

Thats right. Just run a bead of MIG weld across the top of the up-stand.

While you are at it, consider running a 10mm reamer down the hole and putting a pair of our split roll pins in the hole to get you a nice 8mm diameter for the bolt...

Then, fit a set of our footrests!
