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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Nice bike, what is the divice in front of the spark plug? Looks to be diaphram operated, is it a thermostat or is it a compression release?? I have a 1998 wrx250 with similiar motor, it has nothing like that on it. Did it come that way stock?

Just curious, Thanks.

It's an aftermarket vacuum operated auto-decompression release developed in Australia for the WR360's. The 360 has the same kick starter as your 250.......not good for the big 360 compression. The bike kicks over like a 125 until the bike fires up then the vacuum chamber closes. Pretty trick huh!? Too bad they don't manufacture this piece anymore.
 
ya mean im not pozed ta pin it in 3rd through the rocks??? (kablang! psssssssshhhht....flop flop flop flop) finally found something that slows the 3-ton down....a flat front tire! BAROOOP! weeeee!

HNY husky heads!

Yeah, Michelin Comp Enduro ? is that the same as an M12 ? I know tire threads are about as bad as oil threads as in many different opinions but
one tire that I haven't tried on the rear is a Maxis Intermediate Desert tire. Tried the Max Cross EN front tire and it seemed to wear out very fast.
If anyone has got some feedback on the Maxis rears they'd like to share, that would be cool or what rear is their tire of choice?

Maxis Intermediate Desert tire, heavy duty, good in dry horrible in wet. Lasts well and tough.
 
All I know is that an M59 is the front tire to have out this way. Ive had good luck with Vee Rubber and Pirelli rears also.
 
Aftermath of yesterdays Hangover race. It has snowed the week prior then rained in the morning. Ugh, what a mess.

Stuck in a rut. The front wheel is in so deep that the fork guards are almost below ground level.

I've never tried that M59. It's billed as a soft/intermediate tire, but Kurt, if you like it, I have to assume it works well in the rocks too? Did you run it for any of the sand races down in NJ?

Sounds like I may add that to my short list after the Washougal on my bike and the MX51 in the garage wear out...
 
I ran it in the sand and I am not good in the sand lol. I was putting too much weight on the front end. So maybe not good feedback there...
I rode with it at Blue Diamond and it felt great.
Its superb in the rocks and mud plus it only took me asking Stoner one time while we were out riding; "What front tire is the best, most versatile for the stuff we race?" He said "M59, period."
I like the Vee Rubber rear tire but it gets shredded fast in the rocky stuff.
