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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Nice, sounds sweet!

I thought I was the only one that yells out whoohoo when I ride my Husky!

My 400 definitely doesn't have that kick when you rev it

my exhaust port is .5mm higher than yours.....:D

there is a chance your muffler may be a bit restrictive?? a mate had a 400 and riding it showed it signed off way early:( and he was pissed after riding mine. although there was nothing obvious wrong with his muffler, he replaced it and it lit right up as it should. he thinks it was a 250 muffler with a narrow core.

additionally, some of the aftermarket pipes give you everything in the mid and kill off the top end.
 
My 400 is quite loud even with a freshly packed silencer. I do think I will be trying a different silencer. Quieter with more power would be nice. The pipe is stock. Did you do anything with the pegs/seat/bars to make it more comfortable? I'm standing bow-legged and the seat is too low.

Nah, it suits me perfectly, I have short legs... I sit down all day, too lazy to stand. its a drama if you ride modern bikes a lot as they are stand up ergo's. I learnt sitting on the seat and am very comfortable in the husky "armchair" with the std bars. I have the straight bar mounts not the laid back models.

I saw a neat trick with the laid back clamps, just turn them around and they give you a pretty good forward / straight mount position. better for stand up riding.
