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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey there vintage nuts
As some of you may know...found a honey a month ago and picked it up yesterday.
1984 XC 125 (See how a old 2 stroke makes ya' smile! Did not even realize it until I saw the pictures.
Very "unmolsted" (meaning a 14 year old kid did not get to it in the barn with a hammer, spray cans, stickers, and vise grips!)

Starts right up. A little rich on bottom. no povervalve means nothing but a mini bike below 6000 RPM. Above that....a ripper!
Clutch pull and engagement is somewhat more worse than typical. Will delve into guts and see maybe she is notchy in the basket or the oil is funky. Has pre 84 kicker but fires up on first kick all the time.
Suspension is ok ut needs new seals and top outs. Gonna give her gold valve treament when in there. Still has OEM Trellys with "H" on each knob.

Thinking abou doing her cosmetis as WR 125? Whats the forums opinion on that?

She will still be able to return to her original "clothes" if needed.

Joe

Will have her in modern vintage 175 class at Mid Ohio.

Excuse the silly shorts...
 
Nice scooter find!

I wish the one's here on the West coast weren't all beater's - perhaps I'm looking I'm the wrong places.

At any rate, that's one fine looking machine.

How much $ for the shorts? They are very slimming on you.

Now Now Shane.......don't go there......too many pics of you and photoshop can be so evil......

Besides....I can fit in these shorts.
 
Nice bike Joe! With pic's like that, I wish I still had it....Oh well, I'm on the hunt for my next project...Let me know what was up with that clutch. It always seemed to be sticky until I had about 2 trips around the yard then it was smooth. Kept up pretty well with my 86 XC250 too! :) Steve D
