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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Metal piece in oil, a big one!

99% sure it is part of the large snap ring on the starter clutch bearing assy. Those are a known issue, normally it is the small thin plate with the tangs on it that shreds but I remember searching old threads and one other actually had the snap ring come apart.

Trying to dig up some sort of picture but no luck. The problem is, it's a very odd shape. The inner circumference is actually POLISHED and rounded, and the hole is obviously halved.. so whether it's supposed to look like that or not, I'm not sure. No clue what I should do at this point. Completely tear it down? ride it?
 
It's part of number 4 in the figure. There is a large snap ring holding that bearing assy togetherCapture.JPG
 
Does anything sound funny? Does anything feel funny?

I expect not, because I had a chunk come out of my 610 resembling that piece (and a piece of wire that resembled a small mangled paperclip) about 30,000 miles ago.

Your bike is just shedding unneeded weight! ;)
