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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc wr125 crank question

So I recently bought an '09 wr125 that needed some work. I just got the bottom end back after having the crank rebuilt and new main bearings installed.

It rotates freely in the normal direction but when I try to rotate it backwards, it moves freely for a short distance and then seems to "catch" on something.

I'm assuming this is not normal? Any ideas on what it could be?
 
Did they true the case halfs,,normally when you bolt 2 halfs togather you have a slight varience or it could be just a tight new bearing issue... Drop 2-ST oil in the 2 small holes in the case where the cylinder bolts down,,that will lube your new main bearings,drop a small amount at the rod bearing,,lube all these bearings and see if the crank turns free in the other direction...:thumbsup:
 
yep they trued it up and it's not crooked in the cases.

I pulled the clutch cover and it was the kicker gear catching and engaging when the crank was rotated in reverse. i pulled it out and re-installed it and it's okay now.

Unfortunately the cover gasket tore :(
