• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Zip Ty Husky Products......

Cool stuff and I know he wants to promote his line but the frequent use of "great replacement for the stock unit that tends to break easily" might not be considered by some to be the best verbage to use. Praise in public.......scold in private is a good practice.

Not to be contentious but it's not like Husky is a small, one-man company run by a loyalist struggling to get his business solvent.

I figure if the company hangs marginal equipment on their bike, they make themselves fair game for folks to point it out.

If Husqvarna wants to avoid "bad press" from the peanut gallery, they'll hang a higher quality component on the bike when the consumer says "unsat".....I think.

I think he's within his lane to advertise his product the way he did.

Now, on the flipside, I completely agree with you if the manufacturer were a small company like Motosportz, Uptite, 7602, etc, etc.....public praise and private counsel for improved performance.
 
Im really curious about the slave unit. Hope it comes with an x ring. Ive had them go out many times.

The brake resevoir extender is a good idea. He needs to do something similar with the clutch resevoir. i.e. make an extender so there is room when the oil expands.

Ceramic hybrid crank bearings would be boss. Its the achilles heel on those motors when raced hard.

Wish we could get some performance parts for the 610 :excuseme:
 
Wow....cool.

Are these suitable for apps like steering head bearings?

Nevermind....I put my publik ejukashun to use and actually read the detailed product descriptions.
 
The Husky crank bearing has a proprietary notch cut out of it. 2mm x 3mm

To legally sell replacements one would have to jump some hurdles.

However there isnt anything to keep one from dismantling the stock bearing, then dremeling a ball slot, then filling the races with ceramic balls.

Ceramic balls are about a buck each.

No need for a retainer if done this way.

With a retainer is another way to go, but its harder to buy retainers. Good machine shop can make up some, out of teflon.
