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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The kickstart mechanism is causing all sorts of trouble for me. It most recently has broken my inner clutch case. Can I just go without? how do I keep hole for shaft plugged?

Can I keep shaft and kicker in place with out the gears installed?

thanks.

Bike is a 2004 Te450. Thanks.
 
You could remove the kickstart idler gear, the one between the clutch and the kickstart, and this would disable the kickstarter.
 
Yes you can remove all the stuff and use the plug for the TC450 motor as it did not come with the kicker.
 
Thanks guys. I actually like both your ideas better than my solution. I chose to remove the mechanism and plug the hole with rubber washers clamped between stainless washers all on a bolt which gets tightened from the outside of the motor with double nuts.


Removing the idler gear would have been the most elegant and cost efficient (would of saved me the $3 at the hardware store :). Next time I go in there....I will also investigate the TC Plug. I am wondering how that is held in place?

On my 2014 TC450 I actually installed the entire TE kick starter assy. PS there was a factory update for those bikes to prevent the kickstarter/case failure.
I got my TC450 from a longtime Husky fan that had the kick starter installed and it failed taking out the case, he then repaired it and plugged the thing like it came from OEM. After I bought (for cheeep he was so mad at the thing) it I then put the new updated set up in the bike and never had a Kick start issue.

(carburation was another story with those Mikuni set ups)
