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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The balls look about right to be the drum bearing. I've never, ever seen a shift drum bearing fail. Ever. I mean, it hardly moves and is under light load. Weak!
 
Well, here's what the inside looks like...surprisingly no damage to the clutch basket, but we'll know more when it's all torn apart.



 
I feel your pain i just got mine back together after the same thing happened. I had new issues or signe of this happing befor i changed the oil. Now I am just haveing a overheating problem i am trying to fix
 
Wait....what am I looking at here? Should I be checking my motor for the same damage...I have 1000 miles on it.....also is that the case or outer engine cover?
 
It is the outer just take off the clutch cover and you will be able to see it. It is the bearing on the end of the torque limiter gear that is going bad at least on both of these bikes. It will be something i take a look at at least ever time i change the oil
 
Just the 4 bolts and comes off just watch a little needle bearing that looks like a washer and another piece (dont know what it is called) may fall out easy to get back in.
 
sO THE BEARING is failing causing the case to break? How is it failing exactly?

Is the case the issue? Seems like two bikes out of tons on the site should not be much to worry about, but the fact that such low miles is worrisome.
 
I am not sure how or why or what made the bearing fail and after a few phone calls no one i talked to has either. The only thing i can think of is the TL went bad and I did not know it witch made that bearing freeze up. But from what I have been told and have read on CH u will know when it starts to go bad. I hope these are the first and last 2 bikes we hear about it happening too.
 
Should know more next week. Considering how few miles are on my bike, almost entirely cruising, I don't know how it can be anything other than a manufacturing defect though.
