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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Newbe advice.

Being a long time Bultaco rider and restorer, I have the found a WR250 (early red tank).
Before I take the plunge, could I please have some advice if any special tools are needed for a engine rebuild, and comparison to the easy Bultaco rebuild.

Thanks
 
Bogwheel, The only tools I needed to purchase for engine repair was a TUSK case splitter and crank puller. Both worked fine. I also made an engine stand, which is essential. Hope this helps.
 
if you need any advice, give Mick Hughes at bendigo dirt bikes a call, he is all over the huskies.
 
Bog wheel, I forgot to mention that you also need an extra flywheel nut if decide to buy the Tusk crankshaft puller. You will need to grind off the nut corners to achieve a round nut for the full length of the nut. This modified flywheel nut gets inserted into the Tusk puller to pull the cases together during reassembly.

Hi Bogwheel, there's a very knowledgeable bloke up your way, he's on here as Dukkman, out Warwick way if I recall correctly. I'm sure if you asked nicely, he'd be happy to help with advice and knowledge?

Depending on how early it is,for round cases, the only special tool is a flywheel puller. You can get replacement points ans condenser from your Bultaco sources. Maybe the same for large case 5 speeds but need a workshop manual to clock the transmission when you split the cases. For mag cases you need case puller and case installer( The mangle is the Husqvarna tool).
