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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I rode my 2010 with about 700 miles on it back to back with my mates 2010 450 exc ktm and noticed his selector was way more solid feeling and good and tight with very little movement needed to select the gears compared to my husky which has more throw to get the gears. how do you find yours for play ? quite a bit of movement till gear selected or very little ?
 
How much does yours move?

Is your gear lever loose on the shaft? There shouldn't be any play between the lever and shaft. When everything is good and tight, it should only move about a 1/2" or so at the end of the lever.

It's common for the lever to get loose. If it is loose, it will need to be tightened before it strips.
 
nah, all good on shaft. just the throw before it takes a gear is much firther than a KTM of same year with much more miles. just need to tip the Kato slightly and it changes gear where the husky is further . nothing more than curious to be honest ! bike goes 100% so just a question to other owners to see if they've noticed a difference !
 
My 08 TXC250 has got a big throw going into the next gear ... toe flicks usually do no make it into the next gear ....
