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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Uh oh...I can't get my "11 WR300 out of 1st gear

I've read .84 quart, but I never measure. I just take out the oil level screw on the side cover and fill it till it starts pouring out of the hole.
 
nice work doug haha I even replied to this thread. cheers mate. so to get to that allen head screw(if that is in fact my issue which it highly sounds like) & tighten it do I need to remove the inner cover or just the basket?

It looks to me like you can just remove the small cover and the basket but I haven't had to do this on my 09 wr250. I think it was the 2010s that got out the door with loose set screws. If I were you I'd just dive in and keep going until you get there.
 
cool hopefully this wil be my fix & only outer cover & clutch assembly need to be removed. symptoms sound almost identical. thanks heaps doug much appreciated mate. how did you find this in the search section? I posted 'wr300 clutch issues/pictures/shift issues' etc etc but this didn't come up

I knew it was the 2010s that had this problem so I went page by page backward until I found it, I figured it would be post 2010. The searches rarely work for me unless you can remember who started the thread.
 
you guys are bloody geniuses. kids at school so thought id have a crack at this. 27mm nut came off relatively easily with bar jamming up rear wheel(in steel sprocket under swingarm not against spokes!), then inner clutch cover & sure a bloody nuff that f*#kin screw was loose! hopefully that's all it was. thanks again everyone will report back this arvo if I get it all back together in time. also see why water pump hose leaks. I ground off the lateral ridges but not the barb itself so will do that & hopefully no more leaks
 
she lives again! changes gears fine & no oil or coolant leaks(as of yet). wasn't that hard at all just needed time to have a go. getting to it next time would take 30 mins I reckon! as far as the screw goes I couldnt get it right out like it had damaged threads on the end(got tight as backing it out). didn't wanna risk any further damage to threads to Loctite it so just done it back up as tight as I could. fingers crossed she holds!

as far as clutch adjustment goes I got the lock nut off on end of shaft(10mm nut) & adjusted it as far out as I could but clutch still wants to creep in gear at a standstill. not too bad but ot how it should be. riding it tomorrow so see how it goes. spoke with oldscool on here & he said maybe a warped steel. them & fibres look ok but didn't measure. at 222 hours reckon they've had their day anyway so will order a whole new set of both steels/fibres. if that doesn't cure it then ill file the fingers on the basket as they are slightly grooved. try plates first as its easy & really theyre due. overall everything inside looked brand new(bearings, gears etc):thumbsup:

anyone got a good cheap site for plates/fibres(ebay, bills, halls)?
 
Looks like the seal for shift shaft is leakin a bit:( is there any way to clean inside without dismantling again(like fork seal mayb has bit if crud stuck in it?). I'll order a new one when order clutch kit then do it all at once if no good. Not leakin much just a few drops but makes a mess. Is it a special husky only seal or can you get from anywhere? Got a feelin I may have bn a bit rough reinstallin n grooves of shift shaft spline may have cut it
 
I'm resigned to the fact cover will need to come off. Might try get old one out with screwdriver but prob damage somethin
