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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Neutral hard to engage; gear shift difficult with bike stationary

My TE310 seems to have quite a significant amount of clutch drag which i think is what is making the gears hard to engage when still. Engine off, no probs, bike moving, no probs, but nigh impossible to get neutral when engine running and bike stationary because of the pressure needed on the shifter. Problem occurs when warm or cold

Where should I start looking first? Clutch bleeding? Basket notching? Somewhere else...

thanks guys
 
Oil age, level and viscosity? My TE250 gets really notchy and hard to find neutral when the oil is getting old and/or low. I've also found certain brands of oil are worse than others, but that's all I'll say at the risk of starting an oil thread :D

Bleeding the clutch can't hurt either..
 
My 2010 TXC 250 will not find neutral while running. Fine when stopped and it will sure as heck find it while moving if I'm in an awkward situation! lol. I've just learned to live with it, but it can be irritating if you want to push or pull your bike since you pretty much have to turn it off.

I found this article a while back, but haven't gotten a chance to check it out on my bike.
