  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 WR360 Problem with shifting gears up

Hello everyone! ive searched alot of forums but they had some differences from mine and couldnt really find an answer. soo thats why i make this new thread.
Ive started to occur problem with shifting up on my WR 360 1999. with or without clutch it just doesnt wanna shift up at high rpms. when iam at low rpms it works. or ussualy when i go high rpm. let off the throttle and quickly shift up. Then it sometimes work.
but if i give it full throttle and try to shift its no chance. Ive read that it could be forks. but wouldnt that shift at all then?
- shifting down is no problem at all.
- changed oil (10w60) = no change
Thank you all!
 
Don't use full throttle to shift up.
Or let off slightly then ease it in to gear.

That's the wrong oil like I've said before 10w40 or thinner will be off benefit to getting up to working temperature faster.
 
Yep! i never use full throttle as its not neccasery and i always shift with clutch. was just testing out how will it react while this problem.

Okay i will try The 10W40 then and see .) thank you
 
my 99 360 is hard to shift sometimes
I change the oil and use a synthetic oil it seems fine
usually Maxima or BelRay
 
Alright thanks! The shifting isnt grinding or hard or anything. It just simply goes through without getting the gear up (I lift the shift lever and nothing happens, sometimes)
 
I've got a 6 speed out of a 360 in my 07 wr250. I was having a little trouble shifting and upon inspection the hook that grabs the pins on the selector had a groove? worn in it. I replaced it and cured the shift problem.
 
my 360 always shifts excellent, and i usually only use the clutch downshifting. i just let off to up shift. check under the clutch case to make sure everything is tight..
others are correct, try using a motorcycle engine oil around 30w or 40w..will work much better
 
Found it out! anyone with the same problem check this out. And big like and thanks to WVdag for tiping it out!: "the hook that grabs the pins on the selector had a groove?"
It was worn
