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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

One of the fingers on my clutch basket broke off from previous owner. The bike is 2002 wr 125. Is there a replacement clutch setup that is cheap. And or what is the cheapest way to fix it.... And or can I ride without the basket finger...it's just one finger.
 
If you can't find a used one, new isn't all that costly. I just got one for a 125 I'm restoring and it was $44.13. You'll need six rivets @ $1.26 ea. I replaced the six rubber cushions too but probably didn't have to. They were $1.89 ea.

I am interested !

where did you get that one?

mine is just a matter of time that it will have to be replaced so better to have one on the shelf.

Guys the baskets are available from Husky for that. Order from your prefered dealer. Robert-Jan pm me as I can get one and include it in your care package.
 
Are we talking basket or inner hub? I just paid 270-something for a new OEM basket for the 125. That was the whole assembly with the gear already riveted on.
 
Just ordered the basket for 44.13$. I figured it be close to 100$. Ordered all new rivets and that nut retaining clip. How hard is it to drill the old rivets out and rivet the new ones in??

The holes in the basket and gear are both countersunk and drilling them (not grinding) off the gear side is the best way.
I have used a mill, but a drill press would work better than a hand drill. If you are using a drill press, I would get a center punch mark in the center of the head on the gear side and start with a small drill. After the centering hole I would use a drill smaller than the rivet head to preserve the hole. The idea is to drill just far enough to weaken the head so it can be separated with a couple of whacks on a small punch in the centering hole.
The rivets are small and not hard so they can be set by hand with good support underneath.
This would be a simple job for a machine or aviation shop if you don't want to mess with it.

And the rivets you just hammer them in? Any pictures directions or videos of this procedure?
