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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What does a gearbox breather look like?

I have lost the pipe or fitting from my clutch cover that the breather pipe attaches to. 1981 CR430.

The bike has been in many bits for 25 years and somewhere along the way the fitting has gone missing. I can't see anything on the parts fiche. I can't find a picture anywhere of what it should look like.

It should be easy to fit something with a 7.5mm OD into the case, but would be nice to know what it should look like. Anyone got a picture of it?

thanks
Leigh

That looks just like my 81 430 . Hose is placed into the hole for the breather . I route mine into the air box . I can send a picture when I get home after work if you want .
 
Sometimes people pull on the breather/vent hose when removing the motor from the frame and the fitting pulls out and stays attached to the hose. So if you have the hose laying around look in the end of it, the fitting may still be on the end of the hose. If you have the complete bike look on the frame to see if the hose is zip tied to the frame. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies. I hadn't considered there was no fitting at all. I haven't lost any other parts so perhaps there never was one.

81-82 models used a smaller fitting compared to 83 and later models. In 83 the fitting made larger. They all were a press fit in the side cover, not threaded. I will measure both sizes and get back to you.

81-82 has 10mm OD on the hose fitting on the end that the hose fits on and some of those fittings are necked down to 7.5mm or so on the end that presses into the clutch cover.

83 and later have a 13mm OD hose fitting.

10mm necked down to 7.5mm fitting would be good. Have never seen anything like that around though.
