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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Finding Neutral?

thanks, but i am referring to a 610 which does not have the hydraulic clutch.

i found this online

"With a properly adjusted clutch, there should be a minimum of 1/8" to a maximum of 3/8" free play between the end of the lever and the perch, with the lever at a released state. If the clutch lever is tight against the perch without any noticeable play within the cable's pull from a released position, the cable needs adjusted to allow slack in the cable which will allow the clutch full engagement. A clutch cable that's too tight could easily cause a clutch to slip since the cable will not allow the clutch to fully engage, and this should be addressed before continuing."

so if neutral is difficult, the clutch is not engaging properly so the cable needs to be loosened?
 
clutch cable just snapped whilst i was playing with it so hopefully a replacement should sort out the problems.
 
I find getting Neutral a little difficult but as the others have said if you select it while rolling to a stop it will go in 9 out of 10 times.

Sometimes its a real bear so I just end up turning the bike off with the kill switch, start it in gear with the clutch pulled and ride off once done.
 
Selecting neutral is a knack with these bikes. A good cable well adjusted and lubed, fresh oil and a bit of finesse helps but it can still be a bugger at times! I have discovered that blipping helps when coming to a stop. If at rest it can also help to raise the revs when seeking N.
