  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 am purchasing a new guide, chain, and sprocket due to wear from the chainguide. I cant notice the grinding when spinning the wheel or when riding but the damage is obvious. The masterlink clip is almost gone
Is there a better chainguide or do I need to adjust the new one somehow.20130519_114129.jpg20130519_114129.jpg20130519_114149.jpg20130519_114204.jpg20130519_114248.jpg

Have you checked to make sure your wheel bearings and spacers are OK,,that looks like an alignment issue :thinking:
 
I'm pretty sure the alignment is not off by much. The damage could be caused by the chain guide being bent though, it is quite possible that it has suffered a hit.
It's pretty much time to service everything but the engine.
I do like the TMD guide but saw they did not offer the replaceable wear plate for Huskies.
I am open for suggestions on the chain and sprocket. Thanks.
 
The later stock Husky part is all plastic / nylon or what ever they make them from ! is really inexpensive - has more clearance so no more masterlink damage
Seems to hold up real good

I suggest Krause- Sidewinder sprockets and chain,,his stuff is pretty much Bullet Proof. I have his components on my Honda since 07,have never had to replace my sprockets at all **************************************** 1-630-513-1000 Same for the BRP chain guide!!! :thumbsup:
 
my chain & masterlink looks exactly the same so im fairy sure its the chain slider(bit around the swingarm). i looked for the red tm designworks slider to match my chain guide & even emailed them(with no response) but couldnt find them anywhere???
 
Two things i have noticed on your pictures.
1. Oil on the chain mixed with sand = high wear on the clip, so if you run in lots of sand dont oil the chain when in use, the o rings in the chain keep the dirt out of the most important link pins.
2. The clip does not look that worn.

You could try using the husky enduro roller guide setup, has worked for me for many years with no derailment.

You are right, there are a few more rides left on those parts.
If I replace things now I will have spares.

is it not supposed to have a few cm gap between the guide and the sprocket i thought that looks way to close, my enduro style one is about 3" away from sprocket no derailment and no wear... just a thought
 
ok just looks close to me, are the rollers at front top an bottom still working no chaffing up the front sprocket end? i always instal the master link facing the sprocket so it looks like a solid rivited chain from the outter facing side, dont know if that would sort your problem out, failing that is the wheel or guide slightly out of alignment?
