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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE450 2008 help request for fitting Gear Lever return spring

Hi Guys
As from last Summer I am a proud Husky TE450 2008 owner and enjoying the bike in and around Madrid Spain.

The bike appears to have been reasonably well maintained but quite well used and the other day the gear lever return spring snapped. A friend and I removed the crankcase cover and removed the gear lever shaft along with the broken spring.

New spring was €3 so very little pain there, however fitting the new spring is what I need help with. Below I hope you can see how we have mounted the spring to the shaft.

... and all being well below you should be able to see how the spring needs to push against the pin.

However the spring exerts no pressure on the pin as it is spread wider than the pin is, and this leaves the gear lever as floppy as it was with the broken spring...

Obviously I have something wrong so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone had this before and can help with how to place the spring on the gear selector shaft?
It can't be hard but for the life of me I can not think what it it I am missing....

Many thanks in advance.

Greg

It looks like you need to swap the spring legs round to the other side of the flat metal piece on the selector arm. The spring legs should then be parallel, and touch the pin above.
So withdraw the gear shaft, pre load the spring so as to be able swap the legs over, then reinsert shaft.
 
Brilliant - thank you so much Mr Tetley that makes a lot of sense - I shall try this at the weekend.
Strangely it doesn't refer to this in the manual but I don't think it mentions the spring either!!!
