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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc 2010 250wr Clutch Drag

Morning all,

But of background; recently decided to get into dirt bikes (been riding road bikes for a while but quickly realised its not the same thing. Purchased gear and an old bike (wasn't going to buy a decent bike knowing I'm probably going to drop it a few times while I learn)

Bike I purchased was a 2010 250wr. Bike starts no problem, when I put it into first gear with clutch pulled in it stalls. I can get it moving and keep it from stalling by giving it gas before dropping into first. If I stop with clutch in and in gear it will stall.

When the engine is off, in gear and clutch pulled in it won't freeroll, it feels like it's turning the engine over ( not a bad as bad as if the clutch lever wasn't pulled in).

I have done what research I can and have changed the clutch plates (both types) and springs. Also did an oil change at same time. I have also adjusted the levers correctly although it seems that only adjust the freeplay not the movement of the clutch.

It seems to be doing the same thing. I have not yet tried to start it and run in the replacement I made as I finished late last night and the neighbors would not have been happy. I will try later today.

Any suggestions on what could be the problem?

Ps I'm new to the mechanics side of things so my terminology might not be correct.

Cheers
 
You can change the adjustment inside of the cover. A manual help you figure it out. A new clutch cable can also help.
