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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Thought i share some Info here regarding Clutch adjustment.
I found my clutch very soft and almost spongy on the Lever. I had a look and found the Clutch was worn , not a lot but enough to do the SHIM adjustment.

So my clutch always seems to drag and not fully disengage, making it nearly impossible to find neutral while running. Would this procedure be something which may cure the problem? My bike has about 1000 pretty easy miles on it. Thanks for the feedback!
 
Mine would drag too. Then I put the oil recirc kit on it and run 1200 to 1250 CCs of oil in it and all is good as soon as it warms up.

it did help a little bit with CLutch drag... most improvement i got with the MOTUL 300V 5W40.
I also checked a thread on Trials Central out about clutch drag, pulled clutch apart and found that the Husky clutch is pretty spot on regarding the Clutch drag post on Trials CEntral. (BETA clutch drag)

Helmut, I've been experiencing clutch drag off and on for quite a while. I'm running the oil recirc kit with about 1200cc of Mobil 1 0-40 and I'm wondering if changing out the shim would help. FYI, my lever auction is not mushy like you described. Do you know the thickness of the stock shim? My original post is here: http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/my2013-te511-clutch-not-disengaging.39505/
 
I would venture a guess that it will measure 3.7 -3.8 mm based on the optional chart sizes of the other disk.

That's what I suspect as well. I called a well respected dealer in the US and spoke to someone in their service dept that rides a 449 and he speculated that I needed a thinner shim which didn't make since to me. Maybe I didn't do a good job explaining my issue to him. I will not name names because he tried to be very helpful over the phone but I'm betting he was mistaken.
