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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2006 Te610 Broken Pushrod

Hey all, I’m new so stick with me here. I was out dual sporting on my 610 the other day and soon found that my clutch cable was at the end of its travel and my clutch was slipping. I found that the pushrod was not being pulled back each clutch pull by the spring. I adjusted it the best I could on a trail and tried to drive it home. I made it a few miles and I lost all clutch abilities and looked down to see the top of the push rod had snapped off and the rest was still in the engine. I saw a sm610 forum with the same problem but the magnet I tried just isn’t doing it! Does anyone have an idea how to get it out without tearing the bike apart? Thanks!
 
The pushrod is the part that goes through the gearbox shaft, the actuator is the part the clutch cable goes to and pulls on. Im assuming the part that has broken is the actuator. There is a notch in the actuator that the pushrod goes in and will stop you getting it out. Take the clutch cover off and take the push rod out the shaft.

This is one that has fractured and bent.

Okay thanks! I have never done work on a transmission so I’m not very good with knowing what parts go where! Do you know of any websites that would have the actuator?
