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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Clutch Question's.

Some of you may have followed along with my other thread regarding the debris found in my engine.

While I had everything out, I decided to replace a couple of parts that had some wear marks, including the clutch control rod. The original clutch rod was mushroomed at the end, so it was about 1/8" short-- maybe less.

Once I had everything buttoned up, I put my bike in gear and was pretty pumped to go for a spin. The problem came in when I dropped the clutch while in gear, and nothing happened. The clutch was not disengaging.

I got to thinking about it, pulled the clutch cover, and noticed that the clutch discs were slightly loose when the clutch was not engaged. I pulled the clutch back apart, cleaned up the old clutch control rod that I had used as a gear shim/ jammer (d'oh) and stuck it in. That fixed it-- discs are now tight, and I got a good ride in today. :ride:

My question is this: Are there clutch discs from other bike manufacturers that fit the 510. I'm thinking that someone replaced the discs with some thinner ones, and shortened the control rod to make things work properly.
