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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Clutch Cable Departed from Lever

Decided to ride for a few hours after work this evening.. got about an hour into my ride and the clutch cable sheared at the lever making for an interesting ride back.. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this previously? I did notice the clutch becoming a bit less bitey but i assumed it was just due to a new bike breaking in so I had tightened the hand adjustment up top on the bars a bit.. Is it possible i went a few too many clicks?
 
If you overtightened the cable, the first symptom would be a slipping clutch, not a broken cable.
 
Mine was frayed with only 3 strands of cable left when I looked at it a few weeks ago. Same spot. It made it 2 yrs, so no complaints. But, one of those things I will keep an eye on from now on.
 
Same thing happened to me,thank goodness I always carry bailing wire and MacGyvered it to make it out.
 
Mine did the same thing last week at Hatfield McCoy, at the bottom of a black trail. Fun fun fun! That cable lasted a year.
 
My throttle cable on my cr 250(husky) did this. I learned my lesson and with every bike now ziptye a spare cable alongside existing one.
