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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have a 1980 390 CR. Where should the vent hose coming out of the top of the oil fill cap go? The bike came with a short piece of vent hose (about 4 inches) sticking up in the air. I can't believe this is a good idea as dust and mud can easily get in. Should the hose be routed into the air cleaner box? I've looked at photos of similar bikes but there usually isn't enough detail to tell where the hose goes. Thanks.
 
I have the same type of hose on my 82 250 and it goes up on the left side and down on the right side and held in place by zip-ties. Normally case vents are small hoses to prevent water and other items from getting in the cases. I guess Husqvarna felt they needed an extra large hose to accomplish this. I am sure it works just fine and any water or debri would have to travel upward in the hose then make the turn at the top. I hope this helps?
