  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Clutch Adjustment - 1999 Wr250

I've been struggling with clutch drag issues for a while now. I've done the following:

Replaced friction (8) and steel (7) plates.
Filed the clutch basket and hub notches.
Replace the clutch cable.
Replaced the oil from 80W to 0W-40.

The adjustment screw is one or 2 threads out. If I adjust the screw almost all the way in, it makes a rattling noise from the clutch, when the clutch lever is pressed all the way in.

How do I go about adjusting it? Thanks for all your help.

Insert a flat blade screw driver in the slot to hold the shaft still and loosen the lock nut, then adjust the small center screw so that the clutch plates disengages as the arm on the short lever that the lower end of the clutch cable hooks to at the transmission is traveling through 90 degrees related to the cable. This gives the cable optimum leverage in the sweet spot of the clutch travel which gives it better feel and the easiest pull possible.
