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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Oil viscosity in ITC 83/84

What kind viscosity do you put in your ohlins ITC 83/84 for a 500 wr?
I'm weighting 83 kgs.
Don't want to put original ohlins oil.
Is it 2.5 w , 5 w or more ?
Thanks
Michel

I always use Ohlins oil unless you want to change the valving shims configuration. You are at the ideal weight for the original valving configuration, no need to change anything.

I have had them rebuilt with 7.5 wt usually. That is what Ohlins oil is supposed to measure at.

However last pair were built using 5wt Maxima I think and worked very well also.

I was told that it is not hugely important with the ITC's. The important thing is to ride them and then adjust the valuing to suit your weight and riding style. Sa63 has a thread here with lots of good info on valving which I used and found worked great for the tracks I ride (except if there is a kicker on a jump face - the rebound a little quick for those!)
