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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

hi all
im sure you all have heard this before but my stock shifter is as tight as i can make it and its very loose and rubbing the clutch cover very bad. i have tried every where and i cant find any brand that will work on the husky,people act like like im trying to fix the economy or something.i notice most wr models there is a rub mark on the cover but there has to be a fix for this.it looks like crap and the gouge gets deeper and deeper.please help**************************************** thanks again for your replies.
 
I just bent mine out slightly. If yours is loose after you tightened it, maybe you need a new one
 
Pull the lever off, straighten if have too, file slightly to create a larger opening bolt slots through, use a spring washer and tighten.

It's the same as stock, but does not bend like the stocker. Mine came loose so I opened up the gap with a knife file and used never seize on the bolt which allowed me to tighten it a little more and have not had a problem since.

Please look at photo close up Pic of my shifter(#488) , I too had the same problem , I also felt it was too short , I had 3/8 in piece welded and shaped in the middle , bent/shaped outward slightly , added ZipTy shifter tip(1/4in longer & 10mm further forward ) , the previous cover scrapes/gouges were bad - I sanded them out , powder coated it black and applied background clear sheeting for protection (I change this out 3 or 4 times a year)
 
My 08 WR250 shift lever groved my clutch cover pretty bad. I took two black ZIP Ties and placed them side by side near the toe lever but on the actual shaft. The shifter still flops around but the zip ties allow the shifter to slide across the cover without grooving it. A Quick and Cheap fix.
