• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 just bought a '73 250WR that the former owner had split the cases on several years ago to replace the ignition crank stub (guess why). After he got it all back together, it was locked in gear. He lost heart and never went back into it, finally selling it as-is. The gear lever moves up & down, but doesn't do anything. It feels like it's in 1st gear when you push it with the spark plug out, and there are no odd noises. I'm expecting to open 'er up, but thought I'd ask the collective wisdom on the site if there's anything I should try first.
 
I think the earlier ones have to be in 3rd gear when assembled.
Some one else will know for sure.
 
5 speed 3rd gear, 6 speed 4th gear. Make sure if its a 6 speed that the feeder gear is not hitting the case in 1st gear. If it is you will have to dish out the case a little so it will go in gear. The feeder gear has to be in the right spot. 6 gear 1 tooth showing at the bottom and 2 on top. All washers has to be in the right place too. Been there done that.
