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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So i did a service on the 570 i just acquired... when i dumped the oil there was one ball bearing in with it. At least there was a magnetic oil plug. This worried me... I removed the bearing and added the new oil after cleaning the filters, and fired her up. Sounded great... Can not find neutral !!! Any help would be great. Isn't there a ball bearing inline w/ the shift lever? Easy peasy... or take it to the shop time?
 
if its built like a swede thats the neutral detent ball for your shift drum. how it escaped i dont know but that would explain not finding neutral. cases will need split to reassemble.
 
Justintendo; that's kind of what I was thinking, but I'm gonna look at the parts list and shop manual and see if I can line it up.
John; I'll look into the clutch rod bearing... It doesn't ring my bell, but I'm still learning.
Thanks guys. Anymore help would be awesome

Look here:
http://www.halls-cycles.com/images/PDF/Husqvarna .PDFs/1998-2004/2002/02_TE-TC570.pdf

Page 29. Is ball bearing #6 the one you're referring to?
 
So looking at the parts manual it looks like the ball(part#:6BN0 21502) between the fork tube(part#: 1615 31502) and the plate(part#: 8000 96754):censored:

I'm not sure how its held in place, obviously that part is screwy seeing that the ball isn't being held there:banghead:
So I guess I will open her up and see if anything jumps out at me. Any thoughts or ideas on this process will be greatly appreciated
 
just talked to mike at Husqvarna world problem solved

I owe this guy some beer!:cheers:
What the problem was is that I pulled the wrong plug and removed the ball that allows the bike to go into neutral... looks like five minutes of wrenching and im going for a ride after work! who wants to hit rubicon w/ me?
