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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE310 Something extra rotating with kickstarter... clutch? starter?

Every once in a while I would hear something extra dragging / spinning when I tried to hot start my bike with the button. The issue got worse to the point where whatever it was wouldn't disengage last time I went riding. I could hear it dragging when trying to e-start so I instead tried the kickstarter. It had way more resistance and when I kicked through it sounded like it was maybe spinning the starter motor if that makes sense.

I'm trying to better understand this system but can't figure out how it would do that. If I understand correctly a worn out sprag gear spring would cause the opposite effect (not engaging).
 
The one way bearing is stuck in the flywheel. Its suppose to engage with the electric start and disengage when engine starts.
