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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

sprag clutch part numbers...

The sprag clutch is designed to grab the hub when the engine is stopped or turning over. Once the engine starts then centrifugal force releases the clutch from the crankshaft.

I had the same issue with mine slipping. The cause was when the bike backfires it stretches the garter spring. The wear on the clutch surfaces looks normal. Simply go to a bearing shop and buy any oil seal for a 50mm diameter shaft. Take out the garter spring from the seal and fit it to the spray clutch. Reassemble and ride.

Great idea, do you know if it's the sprag clutch when it wears down it then wears the flywheel and starter cog would that be the process ,was reading on here that changing the sprag would be enough to save these parts , have you any info on the starter motor .
Cheers

Hi Mike,

The symptom I had was the starter system would "spin up" but not turn over the engine. The issue was not the clutch being worn out, it is the sprag clutch spring losing tension and not holding the clutch pawls tightly against the inner hub. The starter motor and all other components were fine.
Cheers, Phil
