  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 lever question

i have a 2009 450 smr and it has the hot start on it above the clutch lever. can i still put a shorty clutch lever on it? anyone have any good clutch levers in mind, i was looking at righteous stunt levers.:cheers:
 
I would think you can replace the clutch lever, I just sawed my OEM lever off to make a shorty out of it.

I think the lever above the clutch is a compression release.
 
I usually make my own custom levers for all my bikes. Cut the lever down to the size you want. Then grind some divits into the cut tip. Go buy yourself some JB weld putty. You can mold yourself a curved ball onto the cut end so it looks professional. Once it dries, just sand it down smooth and paint, or have it plasti-dipped. Comes out great and saves you a few hundred dollars on those absurdly priced replacement levers.
 
I'm not sure how you're saving a 'few hundred dollars' on a lever that costs $65, but all the power to you, if that's what you want to do. The other difference with the MME lever is that the pivot point is also changed, so the clutch pull is lighter. Of course, the throw is a little longer, so some may not like it that way, but it works great for me.
