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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Drive Sproket play

Is it normal for the front drive sproket to have rotational play on the output drive shaft. I have about 5 degrees of movement.
2009 TXC-510
 
No, that is not good.

The 610's have a reputation for loose fitting sprockets that is fixed with a new aftermarket sprocket.

Eventually you will wear out the trans output shaft if oyu let it go too long.

Buy a new sprocket and see if it fits better.
 
Alot of DRZ's had that problem and it would cause the sprocket to wear the splines off the shaft. I dont know if it was because the shaft was a little to soft or because of the freeplay, but some people would use loctite to tighten up the fit.
 
Hey,
I bought a T14 new sproket last night and installed it. Its the same movement.
I have filmed it and sent it to Husqvarna in Italy for a response.
We will see.
Thanks for your input.

To clairify; The DRZ issue wasn't one of wearing the splines off the shaft. They had a rare issue of C-shaft seizure related to the CS sprocket being able to move slightly on the shaft. Red loctite on the splines solved the issue. It didn't happen very often, but was potentially fatal when it did, as you were at the mercy of a suddenly locked rear wheel regardless of the speed/situation. There were a few really bad wipeouts from it.

This issue with loose CS sprockets on the 610 popped up on TT about ~2 years ago or so IIRC. I don't recall the sol'n.
On that 510, 5 degrees of play seems like a lot & will likely cause damage to the splines. It could be that you have an improperly machined C-shaft........
