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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Haha gold mate! Must've bn pretty flowing terrain to get that sort of economy? Yep always a few minutes of adjustment wen I go from 300 to 165. I love gettin up Hillsboro over stuff the bigger bikes can't-really shuts people up n u don't need to say a word they know!:)

5.8 rear .48 front but I'm 100kg(give or take a few kegs-normally give!) so 110kg+ with gear. Dave at suspension matters recommended .48 n 5.6 but I already had a 5.8. Havnt checked sag in ages cos I'm lazy n misus is useless at helpin do it.

RC, I'm 80kg starkus and went with a 5.6kg/mm (5.0 is standard). Quite an improvement of the rears performance, most noticeably, plusher over the small stuff with more travel control on bigger hits.

To put this in perspective: I'm a 49 yrs old, 5'8", average fitness trail rider who rides at a 'relaxed' intermediate pace.

Yeah my misus is a bit the same ,they just don't get it!! I have the 5.4 out of my 300 so gunna throw that in and see what diff. that makes,I'm about 83kg without gear so probably 95kg+ all geared up might get me close to the numbers.
 
I reckon I should b at a 6 really but for trailridin one rate under should be fine so reckon ul b spot on. Iv had mine on few mx tracks n at my slow pace with no adjustments it was sweet. Only bottomed on big flat landings. If u were hittin bigger jumps(& or Ridin faster like A grade pace) prob wanna firm it up with the clickers at least but they ain't mx bikes really!
 
This is my 2009 CR/WR/WB 165 , started life as a cr125 which was converted to WR speck as the New Zealand Husky importer couldn't get me a WR,
Last December I fully rebuilt it, powdered-coated the frame, replaced every bearing bush & seal, sent the barrel to Wallybean for the 165 treatment, also got a -FMF gnarly & FMF Q stealth muffler, Rekluse 3.0 clutch.
Usually I have a Vee rubber Trials tyre on it but swap to a knobbly for the winter months where I tend to ride at the local cross country which has lots of deep sand and big ruts - very good for conditioning & fitness.
 
Gnarly or fatty? Didn't know they made a qstealth for these or did U fab it to fit? Is it fair bit quieter than stock solencer? Looks like an 08 or older model by the frame/swingarm/discs.

Looks good with the blue mate.
 
FMF pipes and mufflers fit FMF or stock pipes and mufflers. I had a Qstealth with stock pipe on the 300, tried a Gnarly and didn't like it with my setup. Broke the Q's mount in a fall and been running re-packed stock for awhile. Q is quieter at hi R's, bigger too.
:cheers:
 
The FMF Q I bought for my 300 didn't fit. Everything lined up, but the diameter of the slip-on pipe was about a half a millimeter too small. I took a grinding stone and hogged it out till it fit.

Had a similar problem with the Fatty on my CR150. Pipe was too big by about .5 mm. Had to open up the stock silencer to fit.

Hi the pipe is a Gnarly i think , it was sorted out and modified to fit by Wallybean when he did the engine mods , was originally for a KTM 200, the qstealth was one to fit a GAS GAS300 which i got for $150.00 from a GasGas dealer who quit there stock after they stopped supplying New Zealand, it fitted up without to much modification by a local exhaust shop, noise wise its not to bad between my trials bike & and mx bike so I can live with it. You might be right with the year, even though it was new in 09 i did get it very cheap so they could of been clearing out old stock.
