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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Motoplat mini6 questions

A Class
I have a motoplat mini6 from an 87 Auto & need to know what voltage(6 or 12& ac or dc) & power wattage rating it is.
I tried with my volt meter using yellow as positive & frame as earth & got 3.7v dc & got 11.3v ac, these are max volts with revs up.
So I'm a little confused as to what the correct volts are or if my volt meter is cactus.
Any info would be great.
Thanks,

Speedy
 
so I did some reading in the technical data
it is as I understand a 12v ac generator
funny but it shows the output at 35w and the lights wanting 45w for the headlight and 5w for the tailight
go to vintage left kickers, tech reference and parts page 2, 81 through 88 tech data and service bulletins
you will find the info on your model
 
Yes, it should be 12v AC. Unfortunately, they barely make the light glow, however...

with the newest LED technology we might be able to get an "acceptable" trail light out of them. It's on my to do list, just haven't got there yet.
