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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Mr tr 650

I just got a TR650 it doest shift smoothly between 1st and 2nd gears the rest are smooth as can be any one else have this issue previous owner had since 1,000 miles till 10,800 and claims this has happened since he got the bike and that this is the way Most BMW engines are is their any truth to this also look for a different set of cans if any one has any used aftermarket ones that don't have the converter thanks Mr TR650 in VT
 
yeah, the shift from 1st to 2nd is quite a long lever move and the shift can be clunky. Try to lift the shift lever a tad when still in first and before you pull the clutch and then shift quickly into 2nd. Shifting got much smoother on mine after i switched to Penrite 4ST oil from Castrol, not just on the Terra.
 
Mine's always been clunky. Solution has been to pre-load the shifter with some upwards pressure before pulling the clutch.
 
Check your cush drive, ....after 15000k's mine had become lose, I tightened it with a strip of bicycle inner tube between the blocks, made it tight and now its much less clunky on the gear changes.

Did the same with good results.
 
Thanks for all the info I changed the oil and it's almost perfect k&n filter and brisk plugs made a big difference and due to the harder material it's made of no problem with sucking sand just greased the edges with bearing grease
