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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So i put an after market clutch lever (msr) and perch on my bike and ever since my bike is overheating. I have played with the adjustment on the perch and the mid cable adjuster and just have had no luck. Any ideas? I am thinking i need the shorter clutch cable from earlier-I think 07 to 03 or something like that were shorter.

The bike had never really gotten warm before and now it overheats on any long climb.
 
Do you have free play in the cable? The only time my WR ever tried to get hot was when I was practicing full lock turns for about 30min, I was really working and slipping the clutch. WRs just don't get hot like KTMs do so there's probably something up with your clutch free travel adjustment that's causing it to slip.
 
yeah, my bike previously only got hot if i was intentionally feathering the clutch on technical rooty climbs so overheating every time now tells me obviously something is wrong. on my last ride i made sure there was lots of free play at the lever and if anything it was worse. i think i need to look to the mid cable adjuster...could that be so far out of whack that i am getting constant clutch drag?

I wont be doing any testing anytime soon since i also broke my left wrist on my last ride.

slipping clutch can overheat a bike
 
Dude, you know that all of these threads you're responding to are from 6 months (or more) ago, right? While it's a nice gesture, I don't think these people are still having the same trouble with their bikes almost a year later.
