• 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     WR = 2st Enduro & CR = 2st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Please post pictures of your 2 stroke bikes.

Johnny, that looks amazing fun.
2 questions, if I may?
How do you put the screws in the tyre and not get a puncture?
What happens when you come of and get run over by a tyre with screws hanging out of it?:eek:
Cheers!

Hello Rob! The screws we use are MF44 outlaw, specially made for iceracing. The screws in the rear tyre are 38mm long with a sharp cut head that is 9mm long, so you actually run on the screws head. To make everything hold together we cut a street tyre and use the center section only, and put that tyre inside the motocross tyre. After that we use an old hose and one thick heavy duty hose to avoid puncture. Then we pump up the tyre to 45 psi and screw in the 38mm studs right through from outside with a beefy electric screwdriver, so you draw the screws right through both tyres. That gives good stability=). That´s about it really. I have 450 screws in my rear tyre and 280 up front (25mm long). Asbolutely amazing and very controllable grip! I always race with my feet on the pegs all the time and i feel the ice with my toes in the corners. Very forgiving to ride on and the bike slides with both front and rear tyre in the corners. Highly recommended=)!

One guy got his arm between the rear tyre and the rear fender last winter and he almost bled to death. his arm was totally ripped. That tyre was made with wood screws drawn through the tire from inside out. Economy version, but not so reliable.

Cheers for the info Johnny! Looks like it would be awesome fun.

Apart from getting your arm ripped off. That would be dissapointing
 
Very nice indeed Surge!!! Did the 360 not come with the OE sidestand? Ooops just looked at the pics again and l notice that it maybe the TE side stand that's fitted to the bike......ring Mr Motocross in bendigo and l'm sure he'll have an the original (WR125,250 and 360 are all the same).

Hey Guys, here's a few pics of my 2009 WR300. Many thanks to Kelly for supplying the PWK and bolt-ons. The stealth Vapor with the polished guard looks great from the helm...

Ah, I thought maybe it was just old and bent, though I did think it was a bit weird as it didn't have any obvious bends, it somehow looked different to the 360 I had back in 02...
Anyway, cheers bloke, I'll suss out old mate Mr Motocross and see if he can save the day.
 
Here's my new Husky. Just picked her up last Wednesday, August 17. Left over 2010 model. I picked up the bike while on Vacation hence the travel trailer pictures.

You've got quite the setup and campsite there! Congrats on the new bike as well. Is there riding right from camp?
 
We were on our way back home and camped at a KOA site outside of Spokane Washington. We're from Lethbridge Alberta. Our riding is in the Rocky Mountains. Awesome riding there. Great H/S and X/C races. I've been intrigued by the WR300 and have wanted one for about a year. I like my 04 RM250 with all it's mods but in the end it's still an MX'er. The Huskys look so darn good and the WR reviews are pretty positive. It should be a better bike for the type of riding I do. BikeSDP since your from Colorado I suspect your elevation should be similar to mine. 3000 to 5500 feet. If so can you please let me know what your jetting is at, providing your on a WR300 as well. You can send me a PM so we don't hi-jack the "picture or your 2 stroke" thread. I want to get the jetting as close a possible before I break it in then adjust accordingly. I have yet to start it up. The bike came with 2 extra mains, 2 pilots, 1 needle and 1 extra throttle valve plus several other goodies.

Cheers
Steve
