  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 won't grab

got this bike 5 months ago and have road it twice. once when i test road it and once to school about 10 miles. so my bike started running like shit, after 5 minutes out on the 3rd ride after checking valves, check timing, new battery fresh pc5 tune, changing the spark plug and making sure it has the correct gap, i finally have it running right. Now I'm you can imagine my excitement since its been about 5 months since i bought this thing I'm so excited to take of and go. Grab the clutch, put it in gear. boom dead. the hydraulic clutch feels like it has no pressure. Ive never felt with a hydraulic clutch before, so now i don't know where to start. could this be a simple problem? anyone have any advise.
 
I indeed did and its low I'm just wonder where it would have went i stored the bike in my heated basement all winter, i road it to the gas station half block, 2 days ago and had to walk it back because it kept dying i fixed that stalling problem yesterday. i don't see any fluid anywhere on the bike ill bleed the system see where that puts me. the only problem i can't find this SAE 10 mineral oil it calls for anywhere around.
 
Is the handlebar under the master cylinder dirty and oily?

If there is no dirt or oil any where along the clutch oil line, it's probably leaking into the motor.

First thing, get some baby oil at the drug store, it's mineral oil and I've used it for over 12,000 miles. Put a little in the master cylinder and pump the handle, see if any bubbles come floating up. If they do, just keep pumping the handle until you start to get some feel from the clutch back.
