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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2009 Husky TXC250 Clutch Slave O-Ring Replacement

Over the past year I've had to keep filling the clutch master cyclinder reservoir as it kept loosing fluid (mineral oil). Finally got around to doing something about it. Ordered clutch slave o-rings from Zip-Ty Racing.

Replacement was pretty straight-forward, removed the front sprocket cover and its mounting bracket to access the clutch slave. The o-ring on the clutch slave piston looked in ok condition, but the outer o-ring for the clutch slave assembly was damaged. Filled and bleed the system with new mineral oil. Hope this fixes the leak for awhile.Clutch Slave Removed.jpgClutch Slave Piston - New O-Ring.jpgClutch Slave Housing New O-Ring.jpgOld O-Rings.jpg
 
M-Coupe99,
Your 3rd picture shows the bare slave cylinder....the photo depicts a shiny spot on the right side of the slave cylinder wall.
If the shiny spot is light from a camera flash...your cylinder might respond well to a new oring.
If the shiny spot is bare aluminum & the grey coating has worn through from piston wear........I'm afraid your repair will not work.
I have been down this road myself.
Good luck!

The shiny spot was from the camera flash, the cylinder wall looked uniform throughout. Hoping if nothing else it will slow the leak if it doesn't stop it completely.
 
Good to hear the cyl. wall is looking good. Worth a shot to try a new oring then.
Inexpensive repair.
Uptite George used to sell a double seal x ring type replacement...not sure if these are available anymore.
All the best,
Bugs
