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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Tell me about the 86 WR400

That 87 430 that your getting the parts off of Kelly had an awesome front brake. I'm putting the front end on my 84'ish WR250 woods bike. My modern woods bike is a 96 KTM 360 EXC, it has awesome braking, kinda scary going back and forth with my 82 430XC,82 CR250 and the KTM in the stopping dept.!

Worst and best 2-stroke I ever owned was a 96 360exc. Terrible motor when I bought it new, it would run dead even out in Millican with 500cr's when I got done with it 2 years later. And that with a wide,smooth power band.New pipe & silencer was worth 7hp alone, followed by headwork, porting, reed spacer, v-force reed ( HUGE difference on the 360!!!)
Did a twin-chamber fork kit, had Stig Petterson revalve/respring the shock and.........almost wish I wouldn't have sold it.

I've ridden a few 360 KTMs. one ran awesome the others were all horrible running vibrating pigs. Set up seems to be everything on those bikes and getting them jetted right seems a chore.

Kelly, sorry for the hijack! My 360 is smoooth, ride it like a trials bike or wick it on. It has the reed spacer, dont know about a reed change and jetting. I got it from my uncle who quit riding.

Kelly do you need the pegs off of mine also?

Yes on the pegs please. No prob on the hyjack, just a conversation. :thumbsup:
 
I've tried the IMS stainless pegs, (terrible, don't fit, don't fold up much when you get them to fit, can't use Husky springs) the Husky Junk aluminum pegs ( good fit, nice & wide, springs work,.....but they ARE Aluminum and will dull the edges quicker than anything else).

The pegs I like best are the late Husky welded footpeg . Sharp teeth, STRONG springs, and you can weld wider platforms easily to them.
 
Phillip has some that are the shizzzz. Husky Products repros. A little wider than stock, a much beefier material, bad as@@@ teeth and mount up as designed/ w/ stock springs. Just my $.02 worth.
Oh yea, bike looks great.
