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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I went for a dinner run tonight after work. Thought a ride down to the lake, dinner on the dock, and about a million bugs on the way home sounded good. I stopped for fuel because I was on the short side of a half gallon left (actually put in the 91 octane this time instead of the 87) and off I go. About 6 miles into my ride I notice that in the upper rpm of every gear (say close to three quarter and over) I am getting a bunch of vibration that I can feel through the bars and my ass. Speed doesn't seem to matter, just rpm, but I really can't tell that the same is true if I'm in neutral. Any guesses?
 
I was kind of thinking motor mount or pipe also but found it strange that I had just rode it home from work an hour earlier and it didn't have that issue. Nothing goes wrong slowly though, guess I will just have to give her the once over and see what I find.
Thanks!

That happened to my 06 around the 4K mile mark. I got lucky and caught it before it totally shred. Make sure you get a motion pro gear jam to use when you torque it up. DO NOT use a screw driver or some other item to jam in the gears else you could break off a piece of the gear and then you are really screwed! There is a large thread on this form back in 07 time frame. It is a easy fix but you'll need the new key and the proper sized socket and a gear jammer to fix it, if it is this issue.

When you pull the right side case, grab the nut on the shaft of the crank gear, if it is loose, then guaranteed you need to replace the key and torque properly. While to are at it, check the clutch basket nut as well. Mine was also not to spec. Been a solid bike since I fixed that.
 
I will pull the right side case this weekend. Been through the carb (lectern with about 800 miles in it now), found a very small amount of fine dirt in the bowl so I cleaned it out (whole carb). It ran great for a bit but then started stuttering in the high rpm range, no vibration now, more like a choppy/intermittent stutter, runs fine if you don't push it. Also has crap for power in 6th. Anyway, I will pull the cases and check the nuts/key. Thanks.
 
Apparently the problem was a wee speck (or several) of trash in the carb. After some cleaning and readjusting it seems to be running good again.
