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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Clutch Bushing Honk Question?

For those of you who have had the clutch bushing "honk," can you describe what it sounds like and when it did it?

My bike started making a noise on a ride this weekend, and I am hoping that it's the same problem. When I am stopped with the bike in gear, as I let the clutch out to get going it makes a noise, until the clutch is all the way out and the bike is rolling, then there is no more noise. I guess you could call it a "honk," I'd call it more of a "quack" or a "hurrump". :lol: Does this sound like the infamous clutch bushing?
 
Sounds like it. Make sure you oil the new bushing ( just dip it in or use assembly lube ) as it doesn't have a pressurized feed to get oil to it right away.
 
My clutch has been noticeably noisier since I had it apart to replace the spring cup washers, it makes a funny noise idling in neutral, when I pull the clutch in it gets quieter, I also switched from 10w60 to 10w40 so I thought that might make a difference, there's definitely more turbulence in the oil window
