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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc fly wheel

There is a trick that works a few times for me in an emergency case but its not recommended to do
better to buy/wait for a puller.

I never did this on a husky but on a few other bikes.

The trick is to hit the fly wheel with 2 hammers on the opposite side of each other

this can pop it loose (no guarantee as if it is rusted it will not work)

again this a a crude way of doing it and is NOT recommended to do so.

When you do it to hard and/or not simultaneously you damage the flywheel (unbalance it) you might also brake loose the magnetic patches in the flywheel itself.

get a flywheel puller

and also risk putting the crank out of true...(runout)
 
yea dont do it if its a jap ignition im gona say the thread is 26x1.0 any decent shop should have one on the shelf its real common with the Asian makes
 
Gunna say i had my flywheel off by not having the nut on it and running the engine, not reccomended as it ruined my stator cover.
 
old mechanics trick loosen the nut then a quick bang on the nut shocks the fly wheel and it falls off
 
Undo the nut but leave it on about flush with the end of the crank shaft, Get a pair of tyre levers under the flywheel to put some degree of force on it then hit the end of the crank and pop it goes. Dont recommend it but has always worked as a last resort and is a dam site better than twatting the flywheel with two hammers as all thats gonna achive is to bust the magnets and total the flywheel.
 
Please don't use a hammer. The shock load that loosen the flywheel also transfers straight to the crank main bearings. These bearings are ball race and are not designed for impact loads . The damage that could occur is similar to installing the bearings in the cases by hitting the inner race, which would leave divots in the races.
Use the proper tools and be patient.
 
Oldscool, needs must weve all been nipped up and desperate for a ride! yes its not ideal but i can see from both sides of the fence yes for the sake of £9 and a few days wait i wouldnt risk it but if you dont have £9 and your on a promise from girl yup i would smash the heck outta my flywheel! All im saying is we all have different ways of reaching the same destination.

hahahaha

"different ways of reaching the same destination"

some people get there with a map and a solid piece of transportation, others stumble upon the same location as if drunk

i would need to be pretty desperate to take a chance on crank or bearing damage
in 1972 i rebuilt and trued a 125 crank, it took a VERY small tap with a very small mallet to get the final adjustment, so i realized how fragile the assembly is
 
I agree but some dont care and it seems to work for em, got a friend thats done zero maintenance to his cr250 apart frim a lever and clutch cable.
It sounds horrid and everytime he starts it im waiting for it to grenade, its yet to happen and after4 years of riding with him im amazed that he keeps getting away with it.

it's like watching an alcoholic, you can't imagine that the abuse can go on yet they get up and function
not everything in life makes sense

as for me, i buy tools and work in a sane fashion because i don't want to be stranded 23 miles out on a 46 mile loop that's mostly single track
last time i broke down was the bolt that holds my sprocket on fractured and the sprocket fell off, it caught and locked the rear up
fortunately we were just finishing up a loop and were about 1 mile from camp, after a little rigging to get the chain away from the rear sprocket and tire i was towed back on a flat fire road,,, slowly
