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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I just replaced the oil in my gearcase and went for a couple of laps. As I returned I noticed fresh oil dripping out from behind the sprocket. I did SLIGHTLY overfill according to the manual. 700 ml vs 946. I put in a full quart. Anyway, it appears there is a simple o-ring and a spacer behind there. Is this a simple fix? As always thanks!
 
Yes, it's very simple. Pull the sprocket and bearing sleeve, and the o-ring should come out with it. You can even replace the outer seal at this time. I would at least clean the seal very well and fill the lips with grease.
 
Upon further inspection I see the o ring in there back behind the seal. I will replace both items. I assume some type of pick will get that seal out?
Thanks
 
its a roller bearing behind there.you should be able to pry the old seal out using the countershaft as leverage you know the twist it method.
you shouldnt damage the rollers if you do have to use them but i wouldnt reccomend it.
 
Easily done. Come to find out it had the wrong seal in there. The Oring was OK. The seal was sized for a WR250. It was 2 mm too big in the ID therefore causing the leak around the sleeve. Easy fix...
 
Good to hear.

My kick start shaft came from the factory with the seal in backwards. I'd lay it over to do clutch work and oil would run out around the shaft. Took me a bit to figure that one out.
