• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 must be losing my mind....

I'm deep into tearing down the 400 and have reached the counter shaft sprocket....

It's pressed on to a shaft, just like the workshop manual states. Not sure how I'm going to get the SOB off.

I know it's been almost 50 years, but I would swear that my '72 250CR had its C/S sprocket
on a splined shaft. I distinctly remember bending back the "lock" washer and pulling it off.

How is that possible? Tell me I haven't lost my mind.....yet. :rolleyes:
 
if that is the tapered sprocket that wasted at one point
you will need apullerand headmost importantly,,, patience

Splined shaft showed up in 74 - had a circlip and no 'lock' washer. Splined shaft can be retrofitted to 'big clutch' engines.

Just as I thought, I've officially lost my mind...:oldman:
 
When trying to get the sprocket off the taper I have applied a puller from HF and while still under tension heated the sprocket. It POPPED but I was not Present. And the shaft with the splines is a nice upgrade.
 
I haven't figured out how to get the nut off the counter shaft yet. 47 years and it's never been replaced.
It's on there hella tight.
 
I had a hell of a time with my 73 250 countershaft sprocket too. Not fun. I even put a little never seize on the shaft only a month or two prior to wanting to change the tooth count with a new sprocket. I used a two jaw puller and just cranked down on it every once in a while. As stated above, patience is the key. I just left it on there with the nut backed off just a little and it finally popped when I wasn't around. The nut being close but not quite touching the sprocket is what worked for me.
