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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Te 630 shifting problems at 1275 miles

You can see a lot of the shift mechanism by taking the clutch cover and clutch hub off. You may get lucky and see a problem there. My 630 is one of the best shifting bikes I have ever owned but getting into neutral takes finesse.
 
For the gears that work, yes, the shifting is almost imperceptible--just the lightest snick into the next gear. I'll take a look inside and see what I can fins.
 
yes,number 14. I dont remember if you need to remove clutch or not but i would definetly check that(its behind cluch cover). It could be shift star clutch mechanism too. If all screws are tight, then it could be safe to use your way. Not guaranteed... usually something more expensive will break if motor is used knowing that everything is not right.
See what willie said before,check and see.
 
I didn't find anything that seemed off. I attached a small bungy to the shift lever to apply a small amount of down force, not enough to move the lever. With it in place, the bike shifted fine. I left it on for about 1500 miles and then removed it, and the bike continues to shift fine. I'm believing something was slightly out of tolerance and with a few miles from new it worked itself out.
