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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

SHIMS ?

I was riding my bike (09 SMR510) and when i went to wheelie i felt it studder just before i got to the balance point. I tried again and the same thing......so i tried to tigthen the chain thinking that could be the problem but just now i went out for a ride and it seems worse. Without even bringing it up for a wheelie, just pinning the throttle it studders.

Could this be the shims? I honestly havent been riding long and im not sure what that feeling was. The chain and sprockets are good. It shook the whole bike....my first thought was chain skipping teeth but it all seems good.

What does it feel like when shims begin to go?


Thanks fellas,

What shims are you talking about?

And you better re-adjust your chain to have the proper amount of slack in it, or else, you may crack the case at the countershaft if you hit a really big bump.
 
The shims for the valves. I checked the valves at 2800 miles and now I have 4800 miles but didn't get to check them yet.
 
I don't know exactly what you mean by "studdering" but my guess is that the valve adjustment is not causing that. Loose valves cause a noisy clicking racket and a possible power loss, tight valves cause hard starting and possible power loss.
 
Ok that's what I was wondering. I wasn't sure what issues the valves cause. I'm guessing its the chain then. Imma take another crack at it lol I didn't know aboot doing the 35mm around socket thing before I tried to do the chain
 
It is almost feeling like the chain is skipping over the sprocket/s. It shakes the bike but only when I give it all its got. Normal riding it feels normal to me
