All 2st What did you do to your Husky today?

Replaced the clutch I killed today. 177cc's was just too much for it


(Walt had said it was due for replacement when he had my engine, guess he was right )

Fitted a DEP system to my WRE 125

OH and ever since I got my engine back from Walt I had a squeak that would come and go. Was driving me nuts as I could never duplicate it while sitting still. Finally found it when I went to replace the clutch. The tangs on the old frictions were rubbing the cover

I did ~40 miles marking out a horse enduro event with the new clutch kit and it hasn't made a peep.

I washed my 1999 today. The last race of the vintage series was a mudder.

again? no pic = didn't happen

Backdated the plastics on my '99 WR177. Picked up a '95 WXC360 & matching WXE250 parts bike a month or so, so the plastics from the '95 parts bike went on. Wanted to snag the IMS tank for my CR250 and don't have a '00-04 WR tank. Everything bolted up perfect except the 00+ 125 Silencer. 2 brackets out of aluminum and the silencer fits perfectly. I have the specs for anyone wanting to use a 00+ Silencer (and pipe) on a pre-00 subframe 125.

Still needs a Taillight, earlier blue fork guards & different headlight.

Lots.....rebuild time

Made these today at work. Love the 45mm Shiver's but I've broken the rebound screws on multiple sets. Fished them out of the top cap, then cut off the flathead adjuster portion and drilled/tapped to M4x0.7mm @ 10mm deep. Then machined some knurled knobs to fit inside the fork cap and thread into the adjuster. Need to machine an o-ring groove so debris doesn't get into the forks.

Broke the spring that returns the shift shaft/lever to center this morning Looks like the ol' KX125 gets to go racing this weekend instead.




As soon as I touched the spring one of the legs snapped off.

This bike is bloody sick~! Are you kidding me. Love it. What year and cc is this trophy. Love all the modz. You lost your mind on this beauty.

Blew a seal on the 165 front caliper at some point and waiting on the parts, so started eye balling the 300 front brake.
Was surprised it's virtually the same except a much nicer brake line. So installed it and got to ride after all today

I got the replacement spring for the shifter put in today



Then kicked it over a few times and it locked up solid. WTF So tear it all back down again and I have to pry the clutch basket out because it is wedged in there so tight.


I'm getting reallllllllly sick of your shit husky. (intermediate kick start gear). It also damaged the gear on the back of the clutch basket



It does seem that one of the teeth had broken off prior to today since one break is clean and the other dirty. Guess I should be happy it didn't get run through the trans gears too.

In the less frustrating department I redid my skid plate today also (after fixing the spring but before breaking the gears)


Skid plate v.1 seems to be holding up well enough other than ripping off the bolted on side guards so I worked on v.2 today



v.2, all one piece

Looks like plastic? What kind is it, and how did you bend it? With a heat gun?

Hey gots_a_sol, what material is that plate? It looks great.

Looks like delrin, sad news about your idler gear. Check the stub it mounts to on the cases as if that's moved it would broken your cases. also check the bearing surface for wear.

It was listed as HDPE. It is 3/8" thick.


I heated it up with a heat gun and bent it in my press brake. I got close with the side wings but had to put the skid on the bike to finish forming it (heated them then ratchet strapped in tight to the bike until they cooled)

I looked it over and the stub seems to be fine. I'll order a new bearing with the gear to be just to be safe.



So when the idler broke it damaged the gear on the clutch basket.

The damage. I honestly thought I had a billet paperweight at this point since the parts fiche making it look like the small gear is part of the basket.



Emergency meeting of the clutch baskets.




And a sacrifice was made.

I know it sounds stupid but have you counter both sets of teeth on your gears, I'm aware the 250's an 360's are different.
But if those are all from and for the same cc you should be golden.
