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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Went out for a race today....

One kick, Rekluse third gear wheelie holeshot...got to first turn and my kick starter was still down.... while I slowed to put back.... the field zoomed by....

Havent looked in there yet but any ideas?
 
Sometimes mine sticks to my peg. Lift the peg and it returns just fine. Just an idea, could be a bigger deal than that.

does the rekluse clutch make it easy 2 start engine when in gear?
 
Hi people - just wondering what cases this issue ? happens on mine - every other time .

Worn return spring ?
 
I noticed on my 2000 WR when the engine gets hot, the kick starter feels like it's slow to return sometimes, almost like it's dragging or binding on the way up which is pretty weird. Once the bike cools off, it's back to normal. I wonder if it's due to lack of clearance between the trust washers on the kick mechanism and the engine cases? I looked in the IPB (table 7, index 8) and there are two washers that are available in 3 different thicknesses. I've never had my engine case apart so this is only my theory.
