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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

super motto 510 blew fifth gear

Nice, It looks as though something more than just the first broken tooth went through there on the mating gear to remove the next. A wild cat maybe, by looking at the tip profile of the tooth left between the 2 missing ones its worn almost to a point compared to the flatter edge of the other teeth left on the gear. Is 5th a 1 to 1 ratio and have the same amount of teeth on those 2 gears. So they have always meshed and lined up the same during rotation? Hows the rest of the gear stack?

Replace, ride and save the trophys. I myself keep a small lighted showcase on my mantle for items like that. I couldn't count the amount of stuff thats gone in there over the years, at this point I need a commercial 6 ft long sales showcase and get rid of a couch or something to display it all.
 
Replacing the mating gears. Six total... if you count the double floater as two... the teeth were floating around. Would lock up when rolling back wards. It's a customer's bike. Not able to tell the cause though.
 
Actual gear -tooth failures are pretty rare and are usually a problem in manufacturing, or an underengineered part like the third-gear trans failures common to LT-Z450 sportquads.
 
Hard to think it's a manufacture defect considering its an 08 and it just happened. Just one of those things I guess.
