Well look what I broke. The shifter right off of the shaft. Doh! Normally I feel that I am a light footed shifter so I am wondering if this is a problem that is common? Or am I just lucky?

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Have you broken this?

I've never had the pleasure of the shifter shaft snapping yet, I've broken the shift drum . 
Hope I didn't just jinx myself . I've had the kick starter shaft snap off before , but found that it was a heat tempering flaw it broke right where the temper stopped coming up the shaft . Then again that was on another brand of Red bike now that I think of it. I haven't seen it before on here.

Lucky as it is the first one I have seen like that.

Its funny the one used one that I could have bought was sold 4 hours earlier for a TE. My dealer however allowed me to rob the shaft out of a delinquent motor off the shelf to get me going. Thanks Rivercity Cycle. Its a bit scary for parts in Canada right now, with no national distributor, but from what I here it is getting fixed soon and we may be able to buy OEM parts again.

Well that was not for the faint of heart, replacing the shaft while still in the bike was a little troublesome but certainly can be done. Just need to fill her with oil and off to the races tomorrow.
