Made in Sweden, Italy and Austria
Husqvarna history dates back to 1689 when they began making firearms. In the 1890s they produced their first bicycles and motor bicycles appeared in 1903, powered by FN engines, followed by machines fitted with NSU powerplants. In 1910 the model 65 appeared with a Moto-Rêve engine and a frame similar to the Swiss machine but more sophisticated and elegant. The partnership with Moto-Rêve ended in 1918, and Husqvarna produced their own engines in 1919.
According to a controversial writer (JF) Husqvarna copied their 1906 model directly from a Bismarck model. There is good reason to doubt his veracity.
Historical Snippets
Husqvarna supplied engines to other manufacturers including Monark
Some of their smaller machines employed engines by Franco Morini Motori. The marque was purchased in 1986 by Cagiva, and then in July 2007 it was purchased by BMW.
October 2007
Dr. Herbert Diess, President of BMW Motorrad, signed with Claudio Castiglioni, CEO of the Agusta group, the final contract for the purchase by BMW of Husqvarna.
October 2013
Acquired by KTM, Husqvarna Motorcycles GmbH was formed, based in Mattighofen, Austria

Husqvarna 1971 MI250
Do you know if the old Motoplat ignition the 1971 Husky 250 had was like modern CDIs that have peak timing advance at about half of the peak RPM and then from there gradually retards the ignition as RPM increases? Or was it just an electronic replacement of points?

If you're interested in additional snippet around Husquarna: - Like BSA Is Husquarna based in a weapon factory, wich is to see in the classic logo, which resembles the sight through a rifle barrel: Aiming devices on top and the round barrel being squared by the rifling! - Until the Cagiva deal was Harley Davidson and Husquarna, situated in Swedish town Huskvarna, the second oldest motorcycle production (Peugeot to be considered the oldest, and though Royal Enfield is an older brand the facilities is not)
Husquarna isn't only off roaders and moto-cross bikes. The 175cc streetbike Silverpilen [silver arrow] from '55 to '65 have a big place in Swedes heart!

Husqvarna JAP
Husqvarna V-Twin
Hello,
Regarding the text underneath from your web:
I know this bike to be a hand/custom made by private guy who found a JAP V engine.
So, it´s a "fake" or "replica" or "look a like" depending on how you present it.
It was also covered in Swedish magazines a while back...etc..
I know this for a fact, and i am also involved in the re-search of Husqvarna racing MC before the war.
Believe me, there is no such thing as a JAP V-twin engined Husqvarna except 2 earlier prototypes of different sort and type -from the 20ies..

Changing bearings, wich requires engine splitting
Husqvarna sms 125 2009
I splitted the engine i two to change the "Crankshaft Bearings"
[sorry for bad english :( ]
1.I have changed bearings now but there is a sort of counter weigt on a axel in the midle of the engine, I dont know how to adjust it relative to the piston.
2. I have to put the parts under the clutch right together.
3. So basicly a just need the drawing how to properly chang the crankshaft bearings, and how to put it all together.
Thanks for reading my annoying form :)
I have the papers for the bike if you need them for any reason. Cant wait to have her back on the road!

'Very tatty Husky'! Cor, what a windup!
That was an ex-works development hack, testing the coming fad of long suspension. Not sure now, but was it KTM who started? I recall a race in Sweden where the works KTM was covered in weird hydraulic-tubes all over the place, everyone laughing at it. Factories actually work quick and crude when it concerns development, no ultra-fine instrument-maker toolshop works of art at all. That was me riding the 'tatty HVA', by the way, Motala '75....
