  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 had a small wreck and snapped of a radiator shroud and bent my shift lever a little bit. Now it doesnt want to shift. It goes up fine but when you try to shift back down it just moves but doesnt click or anything. I can get it to shift down if i keep trying but takes forever. I really dont want to do this cause just got it but all back together and done and dont like splitting cases:( Any other ideas? And if anyone has any radiator shrouds let me know. I think they are the same as the 2 stroke models from 91-94 and even some 360 shrouds and stuff are the same. they look like this https://www.dcvmx.com/xcart/product.php?productid=19539&cat=316&page=1 i would buy new ones but dont have that in my budget yet. Thanks
 
No I havent...The more i think about it I think its the shifting mechanism the grabs the shift drum. It feels like its just not grabbing anything. If it was the shift forks it would at least click or have some resistance I would think anyway. Ill probably pull of the clutch cover and check that. Ill try rocking it back and forth too see if it will do anything also.
 
when you shift you are engaging dogs into slots in the gears, if they don't line up you get a no shift feel, when you load the shifter and you rock it they have an opportunity to align and engage, so slight pressure on the shifter and rock it gently back and forth
 
rocking it does nothing. It does not want to shift at all. Every once in a while its like it just grabs and shifts and then wont do it again.
 
ok got it pulled apart today and my shift selector star thing on the end of the shift drum broke! One of the little teeth snapped off probably from the shifter being slammed up. Gonna have to figure out how to get it off. My screw started to strip and is a smallallen head.

That screw should have locktite on it so it would be a good idea to get the screw hot to melt it. A small brazing tip would be my choice but a propane torch would work.
