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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

SWM is back

That should be the new motor. I believe that was what was on the drawing boards at that time. I would expect it to have conventional for today LH drive. I think they were also working on an update to the 125 as the tooling for that motor was about shot. I still expect something cool for the 250/300/340 motors.:D
 
wow new 2Ts good stuff. i was honestly expecting the same 125 & 250/300 platform which wouldn't be a bad thing as far as parts are concerned! I think I may wait a year for these as im not sold on the oil injected betas & GG is kaput so a good excuse anyway:)

may be a second coming of the SWM165 Walt?!
 
Any more news on swm? Channeling erik italhusky! Are any parts(plastics etc) for swm available yet? New style fender looks ok
 
oh my god....i thought these bikes were carb'd :(


WHY!

EFI was the absolute dark ages for husqvarna. My 07 sm450r was hands down one of the most reliable and best bikes I have owned. Few of my friends had 08+ 510's and that is clearly what gave husky its "buy roadside assistance" persona.

They even knew this when they built the race read sm450rr models. It had a carb. They could have used efi but they knew better.
