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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Looking for a replacement engine for a 82 XC250

Hello fellow Husky guys. The big search begins! I hurt it real bad and am looking for a replacement engine and pipe that would work in a 82 XC250 frame. Any ideas? I would prefer a 430 but a 390-500 would probably fit? I know, everyone is looking for a CR/XC430 but maybe there is one out there? Any leads would be appreciated. Maybe someone is looking for a real nice rolling chasis to build their own dream bike?:banghead:
Thanks,
Mike

Mike- what'd you do to it? If the cases are OK then changing it to 430 is snap: new gears (including clutch/primary), cylinder studs, cylinder, head & pipe- all easy to find on either eBay or Mark's vintage site plus Hall's, Up Tite or Vintage Husky. Wouldn't do a 500 but rebuilding a 250 should be a snap though.
 
Can you make a list of parts needed to turn the 250 into a 430? The motor in my 83 250 xc has bad crank bearings and I'm looking into rebuilding the engine looks like its going to run me right around $500. The 430 sound interesting..
 
Cylinder, head, piston, rod & crank, gears (would have to investigate if any are interchangeable), cylinder studs, clutch ring (has the gear on back for primary), pinion gear, reed assembly, pipe, carb jets. Most if not all can be sourced from this site, Mark's Vintage site or eBay.
