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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Clutch Cover on a WR250?

Does anyone make an aftermarket left side clutch cover for a 2008 WR250? My gear shifter has worn a major groove in mine. A little RED bling bling would be nice.
 
Motorhead - It sounds like this shifter lever issue is company wide? I thought mine was just a little bent and it was just me. I'm not sure how thick that cover is but I can tell you that my groove is pretty deep. One trail mishap and I'm leaking oil... So, there has to be a 100 companies making an aftermarket shifter for the WR250... Anyone have a favorite?
 
Yes, the WR's have a flexxie shifter. I wish there was a good replacement, but the only things I've seen are some cheap-o levers that really aren't better than stock.

I keep meaning to contact HAMMERHEAD DESIGNS about making one, but it's yet to happen. They make some nice beefie lever for a lot of different bikes, some I can't imagine selling more than a hand full of.
 
I think a really strong shift lever is actually a poor idea. Keep it light and weak, that way when you crash you only need to bend or replace the lever, not the shift shaft.

On my old WXC I filed the inside of the steel tip down where it pivots (and where it contacts the clutch cover) to help reduce digging into the clutch cover and bent the lever out just a tiny bit. That worked well for me.
