  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 wxc 360 clutch perch and cable freeplay help

Its got an option of cable location ones closer to the pivot point.
Check them out on fleabay just search 'easy pull clutch'
Ive still got domino clutch with venhill teflon cable is good but not hydro good.
 
nice info, guys, thanks! i will see how this oe adjuster works and go from there. wanted to make that work so i can give the bike a good shakedown run..the terminator does seem very smooth..
 
turns out you can use just about any perch/lever you want. the cagiva has a huge amount of adjustment in the basket. fit one of my spare maguras on it. its a little heavy but super freaking smooth. the large mechanical advantage of the older magura and the terminator cable have it workig well for now. maybe ill try something else after getting to ride, jet, dial suspension, etc. thanks for the help guys
 
yesterday was the first time it had run since the rebuild. i only rode it around my house for a few minutes but it seems ready to go out for more testing. fired up 3rd or fourth kick and started first or second after that..it was hard to start before with the kicker skipping teeth inside but now lights easily! i rode it around the house and started it wearing only my adidas shoes!..the dynoport system sounds pretty good, very deep. was surprised at how loud the intake is, it really honks when you give it a crack..
 
there was originally a cover on the intake, I guess most people considered them a hassle
but you can hear the intake
 
i figured things were going too well...having a hard time finding neutral and getting out of first gear..looks like its time to split the cases again..it seemed ok bench testing it...at least 99% of the rest of the bike is done.
 
Ah dw about neutral that means your not moving.

Nope mines a bugger to get neutral i polished the battel, the star spline etc, you dont need to split case more likly than not it will be the fingers that shift the drum around thats just behind the clutch cover side. Drain fluids and take that case off.
I struggle like almost impossible to find neutral unless the engines stopped.
 
i will check it out. when the side case is off, it shifts great, put the sidecase on it wont come out of 1st. moving or not..
 
problem was with the shifter...im using all 91 250 internals on a 93 case set. had to switch to a 93 shifter detent plastic spacer. the difference with the two plastic spacers was enough to make poor engagement with the shift drum pins..whew!
 
Good find i assumed your engine was original internals, so your saying it was the shift lever and the claw not being long enough? If i follow correctly.
 
basically, yes..it really is true what they say about doing tranny swaps on these italians...you have to swap everything! my original 95 transmission was in great shape, but most of the kicker parts were pretty bad. my 91 250 parts bike was really low hour and had an almost mint clutch basket, so i used everything from it...the idler gear caused the damage in my 95 360 motor, the boss in the case it mounts to had shifted and cracked and ruined the back of the clutch basket and any gear related to the kicker. so i got 93 360 cases and all internals from a 91 250. so now i have spares!
