  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 WR 250 NO 1ST? SHIFT BOLT? OR BLOWN 1ST

Hi,
I recently got a 95-98 WR 250 motor from my Husky dealer.
It was used in a non motorbike application (eg. Buggy)

It seems to be in neutral when shifted all the way down (sprocket free-spins).
All of the other gears work, but sometimes it won't select,
unless i go the other way first eg. Up then Down.
Sometimes it won't select a few times in a row.

I have not started it, yet. (was using kick start to turn motor while selecting)

Does this seem like a loose shifter prawl bolt?

I read many other examples of this causing similar problems.

Otherwise, how likely is it that it has a blown 1st gear?
Cheers
 
Probably not a shift star problem on that motor. Could be a bent shift fork. It would be worth pulling the large clutch cover and having a look at the shift mechanism though.
