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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

630 Clutch Master Cylinder Leak...AGAIN

I'm on my second Magura master cylinder. The first one was replaced under warranty. I had a weekend ride this weekend. This morning before work, I discovered a puddle of clutch line fluid under the bike. My master cylinder is leaking again.

I'm pretty sure my warranty is expired by now. We only get a year in the US, right?

What's up with these things? Is my luck really that bad or are these Magura master clyinders really that lousy?

Are there any aftermarket options that are more reliable?

Can I take this thing apart and clean it up, or am I going to be replacing my master cylinder (or the guts) twice a year?

I love the feel of a hydro clutch. But the constant leaks make me wish I had a cable.
 
I'm pretty sure it's the piston again (same as last time). I haven't had the chance to take a closer look yet. I just noticed it on my way out the door this morning.
 
If it's the piston, your best bet would be to get a rebuild kit and have a go at it. Perhaps the oem kits had a faulty batch of rings or something, such that even a completely new MC under warranty netted the same problem.

If it leaks after the rebuild, then it's time to get a Brembo. They aren't cheap but really high quality. (I'm not sure if there is an aftermarket Brembo with a built in reservoir.)

I just installed the rebuild kit and bled the system. I'm waiting on new sprockets & chain before I can go ride it and see if it worked.

Has anyone fitted a Brembo up to a Husky?
