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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Bigger clutch axle then normal TC 610 !?

I wanted to change clutch on my 610 engine I had 2-3 old clutch baskets from other 610s I tried with. But the axel was too big to get any of them on.

Could the lower part of my engine be from a 400 or something? (I know the frame is a 1990 WR 400)

I dont quite know the year for my engine, I think its 1996-1998.

Any of you guys heard about some model with a bit bigger clutch axle?

As you can see from the pictures my clutch also looks a bit different then stock. Maybe some home made stuff. I would at least like some new plates.. But its like my local dealer cant even get those. As you can see my plates are like 100% triangle shaped. (Bad picture of the plates actually. But you can see on the inner hub thats its made for triangle shaped plates.) Where stock is a bit more "square"

Show us a pic or two of your bottom end. The 80s transmissions will swap into the 90s models so it is puzzling as to what is going on.
 
Are these okay? - Or need something else?

(it has an aftermarket oil pump and hydraulic clutch. Just if you see something on the pictures and you are like: "What is this" :-) )
 
Hi,

It looks like you have a aftermarket billet clutch basket.

With the clutch metal driven discs, 4 strokes are steel, stock two strokes are aluminum.

Was the owner racing the bike and wanted to save reciprocating weight by using 2 stroke

aluminum clutch driven discs and pressure plate?

Cheers, Dave.
 
i would say you have the 87-88 husky style, since you have a 6 bolt clutch. im sure this was used up into the italian four strokes but not sure how long. the 86 and earlier look the same but are smaller diameter and 5 bolt clutches
 
See above,

I think Justintendo is right!

You have a 87-88 WR 2 stroke clutch setup.

Cheers, Dave.
 
Dave. I am afraid it's me who has to ask those questions. And you guys who I hope can answer it :-)

But it does look a bit like the one you linked. The wholes are a bit different on mine. "Fully rounded"
Also if you have the time have a look at the other pictures in this thread. I think a have a picture of every part of the clutch now :-)
I would just like some new plates, as I think 2 of my metal plates are a bit bent. And the clutch does not engage after I put it back together. I just dont know which kind to get.

I almost take it for granted that you already know this, but, if you don't, this should be useful.
The name of your bike is "610", but its engine is actually much more similar to a 570 engine than to an engine of a 2006 610, for instance: it's the old 610, with the clutch on the other (left) side.
AFAIK, the 610s made until 2004 have Ø 23 mm clutch shafts, while the newest ones have Ø 25 mm shafts. So, when someone gives you a 610 clutch basket, check the year.
 
Hi Sund,

O.K, you have a pic of two driven discs, 1 metal with a cable tie and one aluminum.

I take it the aluminum one came out of your bike?

If it is the aluminum one that looks like a two stroke driven plate, you can get them in steel from different suppliers.

Steel is better will last longer and not contaminate your oil.

Count how many you have, different models use 1 more or 1 less.

Good Luck,
Dave.

I m sure theres another shaft available- the clutch up to 1992/93 is the 6 bolt pressure plate version which uses a different basket, hub etc.
I m searching parts for it- so far all i know is i ll using suzuki RM 125 1982 steel plates, still don t know where to get the friction plates from.
