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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

6th gear pitting

Anyone on here seeing their 6th gear on the primary shaft with pits? Seems to be a issue. Year, mileage, doesn't seem to make a difference. I have a thread over on SMJ about it. Now the problem is that gear isn't avaiable right now. Will any gears from another model swap over? Or the whole trans? I'm done rebuilding my motor and at the tune of over 2k I'm not risking a pitted trans gear to fail and ruin it.

Which gear is 6th? This is my 08 TXC250 --- ~950 hrs ---- Finally had to split the cases ...100_6100.JPG100_6101.JPG
 
When I inspect transmission gears, I look at the engagement surfaces of the dogs. The actual gear teeth are seldom damaged or show wear in normal circumstances.
 
Here is my 06 510 trans with 12,500 miles. But it seems year or mileage does matter. There are 08's worse than mine.

Hey Pinittowinit, out of interest what sort of use over those 12,500 miles (20,000km)? E.g. Race, trail, commuting etc.?

Do you use the clutch all of the time? Servicing and oil type?
What was the rest of the engine like?
 
They were hard street miles. I wheelie everywhere and ride everyday. Oil and filter change 500 miles if that and valve check once a month. I only tore it apart as i figured i better do it before the lower rod bearing lets go.As for the rest of the motor... Well the lower rod bearing was "damm near perfect" according to halls. Here is the cylinder and piston

I was doing some of the vintage racing a few yrs back and the dog ears were a problem on bikes of that era (~33 yrs ago) ... not the gear teeth.... just the worn ears were causing the trannies to jump outta gear ....
