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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So I took the case for the transmission off. It had the oem gasket on it from 1983. And it ripped(not surprised). But I need to know what kind of gasket material I should get and what thickness. Or even better a super cheap gasket. Please help
 
I think you can buy a center case gasket separate.

I had this happen on a '71 Suzuki Ts-125 I was building. I used pro- seal silicone from BIG A auto parts. The tranny had one little weep dripping of oil. After assembling it with silicone. I drained the trans, washed the seam with rubbing alcohol and applied the silicone and put a spot light on it all night. That fixed the leak. Since it was my sons ride every so often I spilled some oil under the bike just the razz him.
 
nice work!..the oil can bit! a mate used to do that at a big Harley joint. all the Harley riders would gather to shoot the sh*t on Saturday morning and while they were inside lookin at new ones he would walk along dropping a squirt of sump oil under the bikes and stand back to watch the antics
 
The son would wash the floor and put newspaper down overnight and I'd hit the paper with oil.

I did it to his GSXR 750 and told him his bike was picking up bad habits from parking too close to the Harley's.
 
That's not very nice but it's funny. Love the oil thing. I got all my gasket stuff sorted out and I'm gonna be putting a new gasket in it tomorrow. Thanks everyone
 
Lesson here is when you can get a new gasket , just buy it. I only make a gasket when one cannot be found. I believe the centercase gaskets are .5mm.

do you mean the clutch cover or the center case gasket?
