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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Important (?) Correction paint code

Guys,

I think there is a typo on the red paint code in the technical reference section.

At least my fuel tank came out green from the shop using code BMW #247, I think the mugello red should be BMW #274.

What can I say, I defined the color as mugello red, have 4 full size picture on exactly how the masking and white strip shall be but then I, THIS TIME ONLY, had to leave in a hurry for other buissness without confirming on the color chart the correct color, so it is definetily my bad all the way.

Sometimes you just have to laugh about things like this. Worse things can happen :)

..By the way, I found this piece, anyone able to educate me on the whereabouts, I did not find it in the engine assembly manual or spare parts catalogue

Shift Drum Arm, spring loaded mounts on centercase with flathead shoulder bolt between clutch and kickstart shaft
 
Jimspac,

hmm..honestly, I am unable to get where this is going, could you please clarify, I can't fit it.

And I do feel like an newbie idiot asking because it is probably obvious

If it belongs in your engine, the roll is spring loaded to hold the shift drum in position when a gear is selected. The roll is dropped in between the pins to keep the shift drum from rotating out of gear.

You do not mention what year and model you have so I looked at the above file. I remember seeing that on my 85 400WRX when I had the clutch cover off
 
Jimspac,

Thanks for the information, I understand excactly the purpose of it now. However it just does not mount on my casing, which is an 81-82. The almost scary thing is that my old (broken) case did not have the mount for it either, they both use the 'regular' shiftdrum holder (the slim bracket that is connected to the shifter with a spring).

What I do not understand is how on earth I ended up with this part following dis-assembly of the old case...quite interesting...but really this is strange!

Well, I will just disregard this item for now and complete the engine build !

Thanks!
Lars
