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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

To build a 430CR ?

I apologize in advance as I'm daydreaming in a sales training class and do not have all my info handy. Thinking of building a 430CR and what I have is 2 - 2094 500 motors 1 a 6spd 1 a 4spd. I also have a like new '83 250CR motor. IF i remember correctly doesn't the 250 and 430 use same crank and all would basically have to do is get a 430 jug/head/piston kit ? What would be best route to take ? Thanks in advance----Rhett
 
cases are cases

Rhett,
I've been told by more than one Husky guy , that the 430 & 250
don't have exactly the same cases. The crank shaft open is different
in size, but that the 250 cases can opened up to match the 430
size.

Also read that crank shaft is slightly offset when Husky went from
the 430 to the 500. I looked in the parts books and there the same
case p/n , but the crank assy p/n are different.

So what i would say from that info is a 430 could be built from a 250
as long as the cases are modified & a 430 crank assy is used. And
also the 500 cases can be used for a 430 , but you still need the
430 crank assy.

Your correct John 250 motor can be made into a 430-the webbing in the crank area has to be opened up. The owner a Key-time Husky in Wisconsin s has already done this with good results.
