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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Found this on ebay. 6 speed trans

I do not see the shift shaft, if it isn't included I wouldn't buy it because it was changed and I do not believe the new ones fit that shift star.
 
I dont know. Im holding off on doing a 6 speed but thought Id just post up the link in case anyone else is lookin. I might have a Beta 300RR before I do this swap anyway haha.
 
I've only got approx 14 hours on mine and I think I've been in 5th gear maybe twice. I guess it all depends on where you ride but I'm seriously thinking about lowering the gearing some.
Bottom line is THIS BIKE F'n RIPPS. Beta ? Why? I know you race and me... I'm just a weekend warrior but c'mon K5PL5, I know you love your Husky and just remember the grass isn't always
greener..........you get the point. :D
 
I'm a 6sped guy and can see buying one someday for both a 010TC250 and my 08WR250... But not a true wide-ratio ...On the trails, probably too big of spaces between gears and you would be forced to carry alot of speed always, and the next shift up means more speed on top of your already fast lower gear ..


My 08 WR250 is AOK with a 5speed. That bike blows me away every time I ride it ... I think I'd purchase a hydo-clutch before the 6spd if they were both laying in front of me... I just can't the clutch on the WR to feather as smooth as the hydro clutches on the TCs ...
 
I'm looking at doiing this to my 09 but I cant find the post about which years are compatible,
Atm my stock 5 speed runs 13/46 (I think, not looking at it right now) and im a little worried that after the conversion I might find it hard to manage on the slower/tighter stuff I ride given im still on the standard clutch setup & carb n everything else

My main want is for when I get a good set of rims/rubbers for motard, and well, having an extra gear holy :censored: !
Anyone want to share on their sprocket sizes before/after the swap?
 
dont think anyone would be interested but i have a 6 speed trans out of my 91 wxe 260. It has two gears that are missing a tooth but dont know if they are interchangable with others. I just have the trans though and no drum or shift shaft
 
You do need the shift shaft too. Seems pretty spendy for a 20 year old tranny that doesn't have everything you need. You can use any 6 speed from 92-98 250's and 92-02 360's. The 91's have slightly different ratios but should work well too. There is one year where they put a 5 speed in the MX bikes both 360 and 250, I believe it was 93 so be careful what bottom end you buy if you want to buy one to part out for the tranny.
 
wow this is getting a bit out of hand, 325 for a used gearbox with no guarantee
but he is a good seller, bought from him before

Click to expand...

I looked at all the ratios at one point, and first gear isn't any taller with the wide ratio, just has slightly bigger gaps so overall you get a nice tall top gear. Should still be fine in the tight stuff.
 
Well since I missed the boat on both of those due to computer breaking, anyone know of any more for sale? complete sets I mean
