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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

JT Front Sprocket Issue

Replaced my stock countershaft sprocket this evening with a 15t JT sprocket. Once torqued and chain adjusted, I gave the wheel a spin to check everything out. I noticed it makes way too much noise...sounds like the chain is hitting the case, although once I removed the sprocket I couldn't see any marks on the case from rubbing.

Anyone else have issues installing a JT sprocket?

Look at the lower mounting bolt ( chain hitting the tip ) for the foot peg. You might have the sprocket flipped the wrong way . Can't remember which way it goes.

The "jtf402-15" etch is suppose to be facing the outside. It appears his is facing the inside.
 
I checked this morning, and the footpeg mounting bolt was protruding just enough to make contact with the link pins.

Is the flange supposed to face toward the case, or to the outside? The sprocket I removed (installed by previous owner) had the flange facing inward.
 
After googling 650 Rotax images, I confirmed that the flange was supposed to face inward. Flipped the sprocket and all is well.

Now for a test ride...

Thanks for the assistance! :thumbsup:
 
I can confirm you have the off-set round the wrong way. I recently put JT's on F & R and no problems.
