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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Non matching cases question.

I have a 87 430 XC that I had for many years and got as non runner. Well I have finally got around to it. When taking the motor out of the frame I noticed that rear insert that swing arm bolt goes through were lose and it was cracked on the left case. I have another set of 87 XC 430 cases that the left case is good but the right is cracked. I know on the MK series the matching cases had numbers on both these don't. As anyone used " non matching cases" on a 87 or so. If so any issues?
 
Me too, I have a 430 case and 500 case running as a 400, runs great, shifts beautifully, no issues.
The other important fact is that Husqvarna list the parts as two individual part numbers, not matched pairs.
I have been "educated" by others here for having this opinion in the past, but as I said then, if it's good enough for Husqvarna, it's good enough for me!

you good to go. It should work ok. I wouldn't sweat doing it. Running the swing arm bolt loose breaks the case. I have a cr 500 that one half the case has the epoxy holding the tube in. Luckily I just needs the inner gears for my 430 cr.

Decades ago we bolted the case halves together and line bored every bore in a fixture. Today with CNC machines with offsets in the computer in the millionths we can bore the case halfs seperate.

I have faith in the Swedish craftsmanship. The machining accuracy is beyond belief.
