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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc 2000 WR360 - NEW CLUTCH

AUSKY

Husqvarna
AA Class
I'm putting a new clutch in my 2000 WR360, the old one rattles worse than a old Volkswagon. A new basket, fibres & steels & a Recluse is going in.
I have some questions about the fibre plates in the stack before they go into the bike. I know that you have to soak them in oil first but.....

1- What type of oil to soak them in? Synthetic non synthetic? I was thinking the same oil I'm going to run in the gearbox?

2- How long do you let them soak for?

3- Do you have to align the coloured marks/notches on the outer ring? Or does it make any difference?

4- Any other issues I need to be aware of.

Thanks in advance

Damo.
 
i usually just get a plastic bag, pour in some engine oil, place the plates in there (dont shake- just soak or gently tip and coat them all a bit), lettum coat and pull them out one atta time when installing so that way they stay clean and the mess is reduced. im not aware of any indexing issues. if theres nothing obvious and there's no special odd plate that goes in the middle of the stack (honda) or some such just install as per the manual or how they came out.
