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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Need help with chain guide bolt

AA Class
I'm trying to remove the chain guide from the swingarm of a '78 CR250. However, the bolt is rusted in place and won't budge.:banghead:

Can somone tell me if the hole going through the swingarm is threaded or if only the end of the bolt is threaded (for the nut that goes on the end)?

If the hole going through the swingarm is not threaded I can put the nut back on and try to pound it back through the swingarm hole. If, on the other hand, the hole going through the swingarm is threaded I'll have to be more careful about breaking the bolt.
 
My 77 CR250 uses am 8mm bolt through the swingarm with a nut.
I'm not sure if the 78 is the same, but I would think it is.
On mine the nut is outboard on the swingarm.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting a reply. So it looks like I can either press it our or use heat and a big hammer to beat it out. Thanks again for taking the time to post a reply and your efforts to help out. :notworthy:
