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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anyone have issues with a leaky countershaft seal?

Did an enduro today, was doing pretty good until I bounced off two trees and went flying a ways...lost all my mojo after that. :cripple: So loading up I noticed oil seeping down the case under the CS...too beat up and tired tonight investigate further. Might get around to taking a look tomorrow, but thinking it really shouldn't be much else...

only 31 hours now on the TXC, if that means anything....I assume it's a relatively easy one to pull out of there and replace? :excuseme:

Click to expand...

check first that its not coming out of the clutch slave. shouldnt be the CS at this early stage.
 
Same issue here with my TXC450. It's typically the o-ring behind the sleeve / collar. Simple fix. Take the CS sprocket off, slide the collar on the output shaft off the shaft and the o-ring is on the back end of that collar. Throw a new o-ring on there and slap it back together. KTM's seem to have this same issue.
 
replace the O ring with an X ring. Uptite has them. :thumbsup:

check that you dont have too much oil in the little resevoir on the handlbars--to much oil = too much pressure, and remember that oil heats up and expands, since the slave is bolted to the engine (thats the design flaw, imho)

KTM rally bikes have a much larger resevoir at the handlebar to handle the expansion. Just another idea.

Kelley--machine a 1/2" spacer to fit between the resevoir and the cover? Anodize it red. :)
 
Thanks for the replies- hopefully tomorrow I can get out there and find the cause of the leak...either way, looks like an o-ring swap will take care of it, which is good news...I've broken enough more expensive stuff lately.
