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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Do You Know What You Don't Want to See During an Oil Change??!

Went to go install my Zip Ty oil recirculator today (finally, after months of waiting), and when I drained the oil, I found this on the drain plug.

Any idea where to start looking for where they came from? I'm on a 2012 SMR 511.

Needless to say, I'm pretty bummed.

 
I found pieces of the bearing races on my drain plug (te310)- no actual ball bearings. It was from one of the bearings from the top-end with the cams. Fortunately it was still under warranty.
 
Shifter drum bearing on the right hand side. Will require splitting of the cases to replace, but I doubt you need a new drum. Possibly TL bearing, but will still require total disassembly. :(
 
My guesses looking at the work shop manual....

Bearing in the stator area (possibly ball roller bearing)

Camshaft bearing? (cant tell from the pictures the type)

Bearing inner of the input shaft (looks to be ball bearing type but probably much too large)

Otherwise I am at a loss...tiny ball bearings....come on tinken what else?
 
Only picture I have handy at the moment. You can see that most of the bearings are roller and not ball.

Not to clutter his thread but this bearing could be a roller ball type right? Only picture I could find of a te449/511 stator....and his "one way bearing" failed....

If it helps the more mechanically inclined...the bike was running just fine prior to me discovering this. So what bearing could fail like that, and not cause a ruckus right away?
 
+1 on drum bearing as it could be hanging off one bearing with the shifter star bit on the other side wedged in case.
Unusual to see them go as they are under very little load.
 
either way it needs to be fixed. Let us know what bearing it was please.
Good luck mate and I hope you are mobile soon.
 
Cheers fellas, taking a look at it tomorrow.

So Tinken...I hear you've built a few motors in your day... ;)
