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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Potential Australian recall

Has anyone tried MPE at Caloundra? They have only become Husky dealers since the KTM take over so they never dealt with the red Huskys that I am aware of. The dealer I brought mine from no longer sells them so MPE would be my closest dealer.

Ok. Thanks mate. Unfortunately Brisbane Motorcycles are no longer a Husqvarna dealer so I guess the one at springwood would be my next option.
 
I rang Northside Motorcycles in Sydney where I bought my bike from and got the replie "what recall we are no longer a Husky dealer, try ringing someone else ".
Flicked !
 
True, thats who I spoke too.
If I took it in to get a sevice or the valves checked he would have no problem taking my money, even though he's not a Husky dealer (Anymore).
Cheers
 
I called Full Throttle Motorcycles in Slacks Creek last week and they said they were waiting for the packaging to arrive and should be good to do them by now. They have a working Moss tool as well.

Dahlitz Motorcycles in Canberra would be a lot closer and anyone who cant get support from Dealers in their area should let ACCC/DOTARS know
 
Had a chat to Dahiltz but hes not a husky dealer anymore so no can do. He suggested a new husky dealer in Canberra tho so Ill give them a call
 
Has any one through to go on the husk au site and ask whats going on? more so ask.... demand a full list of dealers to do the recall? point of this is that if there is no help from the OF Au husky web site this can all so be reported to the powers to be? Because so far it has been the people power E.g like this group? Open for any ideas?
 
Ecu's now have to go via Austria to save getting held up by Italian customs:busted:...
Personally I would rather they sent them to MM in Michigan.
 
My bike is in the shop at Nowra, has been there for nearly 2 weeks now. On the up side, while I couldn't use the bike, I bought and fitted a seat concepts seat. If anyone needs an original seat cover and foam, let me know, free plus postage.

I'm very interested - previous owner was a short-arse and cut the seat foam down, it's like sitting on a bit of vinyl covered 4x2. I'll send you a PM

I have upgraded to the seat concepts as well and have the original foam but vinal is ripped free if you pay postage
It's now been 3weeks and 1 day that Alessi motors in albury has had my bike in the shop for the recall and that's after the packaging was in there possession to send the ecu away for remapping
Not happy Jan

Austrian customs can't be much better. Three weeks tomorrow and counting. I am starting to get worried that someone may have lost my ECU.
 
The fact they even have to send the ECU's to Europe shows how poorly they are handling the update, it could very easily be done on a PC in Oz using remote desktop for an MM engineer in the US or Italy to do the update, still the courier companies will like the revenue :)
