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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husqvarna 360 Auto (1977)

I would be grateful for your advice and a 360 Auto Service Manual if anyone has one.

I recently bought a 360 Auto (1977) and have put it on Historic Registration in Australia. Having done a fair bit of 4WDing in my time, the complete absence of engine braking on the 360 Auto is terrifying. My brain just hasn’t made the cataclysmic leap.

Anyway, back to the reason for my post:

(1) my 360 Auto is holding onto the gears for way to long in the higher rev range. I have been “changing” gears by blipping the throttle down for a millisecond and that seems to get me there. Is that normal? Or is the bike meant to change gears as smooth as butter?;

(2) does anyone have any service manuals or other fun reading material for a 77 360 Auto?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cheers

Jono

Sounds like a PO has changed some of the springs , you could get different rate springs for the 3 secondary clutches that changed the revs the box changes gear, useful for MX. I don't feel mine change gear, not smooth as butter but pretty close.
