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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

hey ,just got my 84 250 xc cylinder and head back from eric gorr,this bike rips now,i was thinking about going to a bigger motor but i dont have to now,i have got power from idle all the way up,this thing feels like a 400.no hit anywhere in the power just strong all the way through,i can carry a gear higher through the corners on my mx track,no more bogging then waiting for the hit.if you want to make the best improvement for your money get ahold of eric,just go to his websight,eric gorrs forward motion.:notworthy:
 
I had the same thing done to a 2000 WR-250 that I had motarded. The thing was wicked fast, the little extra flywheel weight really helped it exiting the turns as she had a tendency to smoke the tire a bit. She held her own with the majority of 450's out there. When I put the knobbies back on it was a little scary back in the woods. Lots of fun....Eric does some good work too.

I have the same bike[1984 XC250] with a new rebuilt motor, bike seems lazy/slow compared to my 1977 YZ250. What did it cost for Eric to port it? Thanks
