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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Stu,
Its a 93 here in the US, maybe 92 on your continent though. Beastly machine anywhere.
 
My 09 WR300, I freaking love this bike! Makes me smile being the only Husqvarna in our series this year with a championship!

Never count a kid out of riding. My son was maybe 7-8 and didn't really get along with his husky 50. At about 12 he was on board the XR80 and loving it. Now at almost 15 he's outgrowing his KTM 85 and by spring will probably be on his dad's first husky. We've had some minor epic rides together but I know there's more to come and can't wait as he moves on to a bigger bike.

Here's his progression
Maybe 1 tank of gas thru it and he was done.

He rode this at 12 and really caught on. The XR power was much easier to learn on.

I won't post the KTM 85 pic, we've all seen em.

Here's his next bike, I now have my 02 blue headlamp on it and it looks much better but this is a fun bike that I've had since new in '88. He's ridden it a couple times and seems to have picked out a christmas list with some gear to match it so he's getting ready to ride it.

And then I suppose he's gonna wanna get his paws on this.

Wow! The 1988 one on the stand looks really nice! Just curious. How many hours do you have on it and how many engine rebuilds have you done during the years?

Johnny,
Couldn't really tell you the hours but its got a short list of replacement parts, 1 front fender, 2nd front tire, 3rd rear, replaced piston once, clutch plates once, rear shoes twice, chain/sprockets once, fork seals couple times. It's time for new rings but its one tight bike.
Here's from last spring at daybreak on day 2 of a 2 day ride.

Ok, sounds like regular maintainance only! No engine rebuild with bearings and stuff?
