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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Shifting problem

This is on my 75 wr250, the bike up shifts good but every gear I down shift to, it goes to neutral first, then I hit the shifter again and it goes into gear. Any ideas of why it does this?

Thanks
 
Dale, do you think it could be the same problem I had with my 73 Husky? Worn out shifting fork rollers? What you defined is how my shifting issues started.
 
Gordon, My rollers look good. I have since found that there is a timing to the trans. I think I have it fixed but I am waiting on a base gasket so I an try it out. I hope it's good because it's my ride for unadilla.
 
Just lit mine off with the new transmission Dale. I love it!! Shifts like butter and neutral has never been so easy to find. Can't wait for Unadilla! I love my 74 Can Am MX1-125. But Unadilla was a lot of track for that bike last year. Looking forward to getting the Husky out there this year.
Yes, there is a timing to the transmission and also the kickstart mechanism. Forrest explained to me how to do it a couple years ago. A guy at the first netra race this year went to start his Husky and I'm thinking it wasn't timed right, as it slammed back and wiped out his case cover. Wiped out, as in destroyed it. Broke all the way to the oil fill hole. Ended his day right after unloading it off the truck.
See you soon!
 
I had a broken stud that holds the roller on the fork. I had to double shift to get it in gear. Be careful the tranny will engage two gears at the sametime sooner or later. Double check.

This is the only time something broke in a Husqvarna tranny on me a 1977 250wr.
 
So the bike is back together and running good. Shifts nice too. I had the tranny timing off when I put it together. All is good. :applause:
