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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hot start in gear with clutch

I find my 09 510 doesn't like to start in gear with the clutch pulled. This is hot start like if I stall it on a trail and need to get going again. If I pop it in neutral (clutch in or out) it fires right up, but in any gear it takes maybe 3-5 seconds before it'll fire and stay running. The clutch has little free play (MEM Clever Lever, but did it with the stock lever as well) I guess the clutch isn't fully disengaging but it seems like the adjustment is good...maybe bleed it? Could it be the O ring failure I've read a little about?

Not a terribly huge problem, but annoying.
 
Sounds like clutch drag to me. And it's a real "drag" if you have to find neutral in an uphill stall situation. I think that's always a difficulty w/hydraulic clutches. You can't just take up some cable for fine adjustments. Does your lever have a reach adjustment? If so,you may be able to adjust it a bit further from the bar to alleviate the problem
 
My 08 TXC250 clutch drags and causes it to be hard to start when in gear ... If I use true synthetic oil, it helps stop the clutch from dragging so much and the starting in gear is better ...

The bad o-ring issue causes the clutch lever to feel very weak and you'll start getting very little clutch dis-engagement ...
 
Thanks, guys. I may ask Steve at MEM to make me a longer plunger for the MEM lever to see if that would alleviate this. Might just be the nature of the beast.

I do have some adjustment, but it's adjusted now to give max disengagement when pulled.

I'm already running full synthetic oil
