  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 have a 96 wxc250. The sprocket deteriorated quickly without noticing and I began to hear a clunking. When I checked I realized the front sprocket had lost about 6 teeth. I changed sprockets and chain but there remains a problem. Now, only in third gear, there is a rhythmic clunking. I haven't opened it up yet but I'm thinking the chain probably jumped on the sprocket while I was riding in third gear and when it grabbed I think it snatched a tooth or two off of the third gear on the sprocket shaft.

First, do you guys agree with that line of thinking? Anyone deal with something like this before?

Second, where in the heck can I get a new or used third gear?

the gears for third are shot. best to find a spare transmission or parts motor. 2nd and 3rd are what get hammered. sometimes individual gears are expensive. the good news is that are very wide range of years will fit your bike. time to split em and see if anything else is worn. i wouldnt ride the bike anymore.
