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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

06 cracked case from kick starting

Blew my case apart on my 450. Thought this was fixd after all the 04 incidents? Thinking about trying to weld
It, any thoughts on that or what I should do. How about a rough idea on replacing the cases money wise. I can wrench so that's about all i see as a positive at this point for the work that may be involved...
 
Split the cases.
Have a compitent welder weld it up.
Get a new clutch cover.
Put it together and go ride it.
Kicked back when starting?
Never use the throttle when kick starting, If you didn't then look at the intake rubber it's probably cracked and allowed this to happen.
Seen this happen many times before.

If possible, have the welder chemical etch the cracked area of the case prior to welding. A high voltage tig arc will clean, but not as well as etching. This will provide a much stronger weld bond, regardless of outer appearance.
 
Thanks for the advice and input. I am finally gonna have time to get to it this week and i will let you know what happens. The rubber is good and I wasn't giving it any throttle. I'm not sure why that would be an issue anyhow? I know that if you read up on the 04 bikes this was a defect that would happen to bikes on the show room floor. My 450 has low hours and is well maintained and I'm not just saying that. I understand that things break but this is beyond that.
