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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Mag 250 Correct clutch cable

Hello out there in Husky land
Long time lurker, who's looking at finishing up a correct restoration of a 74' Mag 250.
I'm having some trouble finding a correct length clutch cable for the bike. I'm not able to have enough free length to where the lever has free play. I did just find out my center clutch hub adjustment was incorrectly set up, but not sure how far back into tearing the clutch apart I might need to go.
Does anyone know what the cable "free-lenght" should be for this bike? I know it has to be more than 5 1/2 inches, but not sure if 8 is correct.
Also, if the motor has been converted to a 6-speed, do you still use the same center clutch push rods? Hard to decipher what this should look like from the on-line parts diagrams.
Sorry for all the different directions for questions...

Hello, was able to sort our the clutch push rods. And finally found a NOS correct length for the clutch cable.. This one-year only cable has a free length of 7 and 7/8 inches.... Hope this might help someone else...
