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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The Kawasaki bearings I have used are -

13033-1010 This is a common small end bearing that fits KX250 1980 to 2005, KDX 250 1980 to 1994 as well as Tecate and a few others.

It measures up at - 18 x 22 x 23.8

Thanx for the info! I have one coming for the 390.
 
Have you got the new pistons to go with the new bearings Bill ? i.e - measure the boss width. I can only speak for the 390, as that is all I run.
If they happily fit other pistons, then great.
 
This bearing fits the 390/420/430 right? I’m not sure about the 250/360/500? I have new wiesco/woosner pistons for the 250’s and 500’s right now. I need to start boring the 390/420 clyinders. I’m going to let my son do all the boring so he learns it. Dad won’t be around for ever.
 
would you guys recommend going with the wider wrist pin bearing or a shorter bearing and using the the original 3mm spacers on new piston.
