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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My low miles (<300) SWM RS650R occasionally has the gear change jam so that I can't change down but can change up!

Since the SWM motor is replica of the TE630 I wondered whether any TE630 riders have experienced this ?

and if so what was the solution?
 
Sometimes mine 650 needs 2 toe pokes to change up into 3rd. and 4th. Seems to be a fair amount of lever range required. Did not have this issue with my 630. The lever is on correctly and quite tight ie no slop or play on the splines.
 
PS have clocked up 7500 trouble free kms on the RS650 with 80% dirt and 20% road. I have put on a BB bask plate and rear rack, TE 630 gear lever (longer and stronger) Bark busters, Safari 25 ltr tank and the touring screen from the Enduro version. Love the bike.

I'd like to see your Rs650r
The my change of the Te630 is perfect
 
The differences are minor Rotax. The Rs650 has a little less suspension travel which is actually a good thing as it works well in the bush and is better under brakes on the tarmac.
The ECU has been updated and the bike is marginally more responsive.
 
Thanks for all the suggestions. I've just changed oil & filter (the first change)and saw the typical amount of shiny particles and a few pieces of manufacturing swarf.

I'll see how it performs over the next few rides. My dealer has suggested it may be the quadrant & pawl mechanism on the end of the gear shaft occasionally getting stuck.
If it reoccurs he'll investigate the mechanism.

I'm inclined to think that very few mechanical problems improve with use......... :0(

Ride it a little and see what happens. Could be a burr on a shaft or something.
 
I'm beginning to suspect gear selector shaft end float. Allowing the quandrant & associated bits to lock.
