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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Any one had any issues with this .
12 630 with 7k on clock .
Oil was due ( refreshed @ 4.5k ) .

Has 2 incidents over 2 days where i was engaged in 3rd coming down hill over rough ground fairly fast, off throttle engine breaking and then nothing , in neutral floating, was a bit scary .

Bike has been flawless , hoping it was just a case of maybe i wasnt engaged in 3rd like i thought i was ?

Guess I give it some fresh oil & see . Anything to look for ?
 
Shifting fork maybe. Not familiar with that bike but my old Honda race bike, after a number of times popping out of gear, finally did it the last time by dropping a valve at redline. The shifting fork was worn and I was young and too cheap to fix it. I get false neutrals on every bike if I make a lazy shift though. Popping out of gear makes me think it is wearing something.
 
If you've ever dropped it on the shifter like i have, you could have a bent shift fork. Mine got pretty bad suddenly with false neutrals, eventually lost 2nd and 3rd.

Were no big chunks in my case, the dogs were just rounded off the sides of the gears and it wouldn't hold.
Once they rounded enough, torque forced them apart, bending the fork to the point that 2nd and 3rd were dead, but I made it home.

I just yanked the motor and carried it to my local guy that did work for the Husky dealer, that was around 10k miles, 6k miles ago, no problems since.

If you've never split the case on a big single before, this is probably not the bike to learn on.
 
I would keep riding until i got persistent problems, then deal with splitting the cases. I would worry about getting in there to find nothing wrong, so best wait until theres no doubt something is wrong

Ye i think i will do this , fresh oil and see how it goes.
Ta all for the help / comments
 
I also get flase neutrals from time to time. I've got one the last sunday on a 100km trail ride. In total, may be 4 times since I bought the bike (2.500kmm since then)
Maybe is my fault, may be is bike fault.
Although It has never happened to me driving the small TE310

BTW, I has not replaced the cluth washers... yet

Just a thought but I wonder if it has anything to do with you replacing the clutch washers?

I havent done mine yet . I put cush hub in @1k and have being watching the oil . I am going to drop the oil and pull the clutch basket to inspect soon - will see what condition they are in - be interesting to see as all 3 610 i did had big wear all under 5k .
 
Did the oil , oil filter & lhs basket filter and everything was squeeky clean . Very little sludge on plug , no large bit of metal , a few very very small shards on oil filter when pulled apart but probably less then i would expect from any oil change .
Fresh oil n will pull clutch @ 10k service.
