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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey guys
Got a wr125 2001 (now a 165) on its last ride the kick-starter lever stopped returning after kicking it over

How hard it is to replace the spring in behind the case? Anyone got a few piccies of what I'm up against and is there anything to do while I'm in there?


Cheers, Tim
 
Its really easy to pull out the starter assy. You will have to pull the clutch side cover and remove the clutch. It then can be removed and inspected/replaced. Good time to check your clutch plates and basket for wear. You should make sure you have a clutch cover gasket as it will be hard to remove the cover and keep the gasket in tact. Check the exploded parts catalogue for part numbers.
 
Hey bud finally got around to doing this today, clutch appears to be in great condition. Just wondering how loose the nylon gear that drives the water pump impeller should be on the impeller shaft?

Cheers.
 
The impellers real tight, can't get it undone and don't want to damage it. I'm wondering about the drive gear behind the case it's nylon and mine has a bit of slop on shaft
 
Ok well the impeller is left hand thread so you may be tightening it up, the plastic drive gear is held in by a pin so will be slightly loose like a mill or so play.
 
Haha, when engine is turned over impeller spins CCW which leads me to think it's a RH thread.
Gear is defiantly not on a spline otherwise I'm in deep trouble haha.
 
Yeah that makes sense it will be driving itself tight.
If you've got it loose pull it off and re loc-tite it on.
