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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Rear sprocket advice

I'm working on a 1976 wr360. The back sprocket is junk on it. I plan on riding this on single and two track trails and enduro type stuff just for fun. Does anyone have any rear sprocket size recommendations. How is the hit on these engines? Should I go stock or Bigger? On my '02 cr250 I went to a smaller front sprocket to reduce the hit so I didn't end up in the trees.
 
Took a long time to get back here. Lacing up the rear wheel ...oooh my brain hurts after that. Also did the front fork seals.
Maybe someone else can chime in here. The current gearing is 11/53. Is this stock for a 76 wr360?

Rear shocks are junk .... any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
 
Even if your current 11/53 were correct gearing for your use, you'll probably find that those tiny 11t front sprockets don't last long. I used to waste them in one weekend.

So I'd go up to a 56 in the rear, and see if you can then run 12/56. You'll get better life up front and overall ratio is only slightly taller than 11/53. IF it turns out to be WAY too low, and you can run a 13 or 14 up front, even better.
