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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Will a cheap Chinese CDI work with a Motoplat stator?

There have been numerous mentions of using cheap Chinese CDI and coil replacing SEM CDI/coil parts. It's cheap (~$10) and give a stronger spark at kick start speeds than SEM. No advance curve, just like the original SEM.

For example here.

I see one person asked if it would work with a Motoplat too. I think not.

I ordered one to try with my Motoplat external rotor. Didn't work, probably because the Motoplat has much lower charge voltages than normal stators. ~50V instead of 400V. Also the charge and trigger coils generate the same sort of voltages, perhaps Motoplat is unique in this way.

Happy if someone can tell me they've tried and got it to work.

BTW I found the best resource for test measurements for Motoplats here

I think this might be an accurate circuit showing what is inside Motoplat CDI/coils
