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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi, apologies for non husky blurb but I have got hold of a mates 350 sm Moto villa and im giving it a rough and ready whip over so he can take it for a spin. it hasn't been ridden since 1983 but he has started and run it recently.

The motor is fine and he has serviced the air filter.
I need to replace fork oil
clean and service brakes
tidy up chain guide
replace existing shox with a recently serviced pair
change gearbox oil
it has bronze clutch plates. can I use ATF in the box or should I hunt some 30 wt oil?
the muffler needs a tune up as well.

should be fun!
 
i would go with the ATF there shouldn't be any issues as the clutch is just a basic oil bath, might pay to take out the plates clean them and put kerosene or similar in the cases minus the clutch pack to clean out any brass residue that may have settled around the bearings etc.
