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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hard to shift through gears

Alright Did a quick search for my particular problem. Seems to be alot of jumping around with answers to any givin question I've found.

Okay heres the deal. 07TE450, While driving, it almost takes an act of congress to shift through the gears. When hot and rolling to a stop with clutch in I can find neutral easily. once I have come to a stop and in gear Finding neutral is impossible even when rocking the bike back and forth. Starting in gear bike wants to roll forward as it is started, from what I have read that is pretty normal. While engine off cold or hot and trying to find neutral to start is a 50/50 shot weather it jumps into 2nd or not.

I have no garage and it rains here in Kodiak alot so I need a game plan when I go outside to open my bike up. Where/what do I need to check. From what I have read I need to check clutch thickness * done it need to look it up to see if in specs* I need to check spring length, check bascket for any abnormal grooving that might not alow free movement of clutch pack. I'm gonna flush clutch fluid. What else do I need to check or have I missed anything?

Bike has 5000+ miles on it, not riden real hard, 60/40 pavement/dirt any other info you need to help with this I can give. I run motul 20-50
 
2 things check to make sure the chain is not tight when sitting on it.Also we have had almost exact same problems,the only cure was replace the shift plate in the center of the shift drum,it has cured 3 bikes now from your exact same symptoms nothing looks bad they get bent ,chipped or warped.The chain being tight can also cause this same problem.billf
 
Will check chain but certain it is not the problem. What would cause the shift plate to warp, chipped, bend? Is there something that I might be doing wrong in my riding technique or is it the wind blows east instead of west on monday at 900 sorta thing?
 
As far as I know the only clutch plates I know of are the plates between the clutch disks. In which case pull clutch cover, pull off clutch springs, pull out clutch pack, replace with new.
 
There is a thread on thumpertalk from a couple years ago detailing the exact fix for this problem(IIRC it has pics). There is a little plate on the rt side of the tranny that sometimes gets scored or damaged. When this happens it causes sticky or difficult shifting. It needs to be removed and replaced, or cleaned up with a file etc.
IIRC, The clutch side case and clutch basket need to be removed to access it.

You'll need to do a search on TT to find the thread.
 
You cant see any reason why they dont shift when looking at the plate,thats what made it so hard to find the first time.Like i said its fixed 3 of them.Just have to pull the clutch cover {inner} and the clutch to get at it.billf
 
Ya spent most of yesterday looking. I'll break into my "chiltons" disk for my bike and see what it says but sounds pretty straight forward.

When you pulled the plate there was nothing obvious huh? Weird is the variance just that slight?
