• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Primary gearing 250-500

I have a 82 CR250 that has a bad kicker gear on the back of the clutch gear and the clutch gear is thru the hardsurface also. My spare doesnt look any better. What effects would I have if I used the whole primary/clutch/kicker gears from my 83-500XC. I know the primary gearing would be faster but would it be enough from anyones experience to be noticeable? I'm going the other direction on my 500 by using a 87-up clutch/primary which some have stated isnt a big difference in gearing. Thanks in advance, Scott
 
Without doing the arithmetic and assuming a 12 tooth sprocket is kind of tiny for seriously going for a ride and the 10 and 11 tooth are kind of for hanging on the wall or the automatic guys to get their clutches spinning just right you end up with probably more than 60 teeth on the rear sprocket. Which isn't really that bad but you will get a lot of comments and gawkers. At some point you kind of have to either extend the hanger for the rear most chain guide or lengthen the side plates the rolller is inbetween.
