  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 wont go into neutral

My 2004 TE450 will not go into neutral when warm. It goes from 1st to second without finding neutral. Is that a bearing, gear or shim maybe?
 
I find mine is like that as well, especially when it is running. When it is not it, it is easier. I think it has something to do with my slight clutch drag
 
sitting still or moving??? Hard to get any motorcycle to neutral, sitting still & engine running. I can find "N" very easily while still rolling to a stop or kill the motor & "N" is there.

Make sure the drive chain isnt too tight,beleive it or not we found this to be the problem many times,also oil level too high.We really havent had this problem with the 04-10 motors?Air in the clutch or some aftermarket levers do not adjust correctly and a worn clutch basket can do it also.Hope it helps
 
My 07 TC 250 is the same way - tough to find neutral when running. Most time i just stall the bike and use my hand to get to neutral so i can kick it again. Thought that was just normal for the type of bike - My street SV is sure easy to find. Just the way they are made i guess.
 
My 09 510SMR is finding neutral easier as it's run in. My only gripe is that the digital display is about 2 secs behind me engaging neutral. No big deal but so used to an immediate green light saying dump that clutch.
