• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 cover gasket: One time use

I can't find the thread when somebody asked about it so here it goes:

I took the clutch cover off to do some maintenance during my last oil change: Check the filter, replace the clutch bushing, replace the problematic cup washers...)

I tried to be very careful with the gasket and reused it (it was stuck in places). Now my bike leaks oil. I'm not sure if it started right away since I have a bash plate. But with it off, I can see a few drops of oil on the floor when the bike sits overnight.

I'm planning on re-torquing all the bolts to make sure they didn't come out. But assuming this isn't the issue, be aware that that gasket might not survive disassembly.

Any differing experience?
 
That's weird!
The gasket of my 610 (same part code of the 630) was reused without issues for about 10 times, then it started to look warped/worn and so I replaced it, for the sake of prevention.
 
Maybe you gasket handling skills are better than mine :cheers:
The one on my bike was pretty stuck. So I might have messed it up when separating it from the case.
 
Kind of a late update, but I finally go some time to work on the bike.
As I leaned the bike over on its side I found out why it was leaking: The bolt under the oil filter was gone (it is one of the 2 that are a bit longer than all the other clutch cover bolts)
I put a new bolt and no leak overnight. So as other have reported, that gasket is indeed multi-reuse.
