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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Kickstart hitting shifter? '77 CR250

Is shifter shaft/pedal supposed to hit kick starter on down kick? I have a loose shifter shaft (another bush issue no doubt) and noticed it seems to have been caused by the kicker, as the kicker hits/stop on the shifter shaft portion of shift pedal. Is this the way it works, or what is supposed to stop/contact the kicker on the down kick?
 
I have the newer dog-leg kicker on mime and it stops against the foot peg.
I held a standard L-shaped kicker against the mine to try and eyeball it and it looks like the kicker would clear the shifter shaft boss and stop against the peg also.
 
My '77 also has the newer dog-leg kicker,and it hits the peg just short of hitting the shift lever.
It looks like it would hit if the shifter was rotated too far down.
Hope this helps.
