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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2008 510 - Split the cases?

I need a difficulty estimate from anybody that has opened up the cases of their motor. I have to replace the counter-shaft, and I want to do this myself. I've been wrenching since I was a kid, so I'm not a nube.

Is there anything exceptionally difficult or that requires special tools? What else should I be looking at while I'm in there?

Also, it the 530 kit still available?
 
Just noticed your location is close by. I have a 510 with a seized motor I need to tear into, wanna work side by side? :) I don't have nearly the experience but wanna learn.

That may be a good idea. I've looked at a tear-down thread on smjunkie, and that right side looks intimidating. Lots of gears. A carefully captured series of photos would help a lot. I have a garage and tools and a camera. I may need to buy a ring compressor. Otherwise I think I'm good for everything else.

I'm going to talk to Dan at Motoexotoca tomorrow to see what parts are going to be. If it's too much I will just bail and trade the 510 in on a (jeez I hate to say it) orange bike. Also investigate having this done for me by a pro'. I'll let you know what I come up with.
 
OK, a deeper dive into the "tear-down" thread on smjunkie, and I'm thinking that this is a serious job. Special tools are required. Hmmmm....
 
Yeah, that's why I haven't dived in yet. The back up plan is to send it to George at Uptite if I mess it all up and can't put it back together. The case splitter is $180 I think, not sure what other tools are required.
 
I have replaced the counter shaft sproket on my 510
it is not a bad job the problem is the parts I orded mine back in july and
just got word it would be shipped from the new Husqvarna/ktm

You can always mail the motor to Hall's Cycles, Uptite George, or ZipTy and have them rebuild it. It will be costly, but it will be done right because they have rebuilt countless numbers of these motors.
