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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

hydraulic clutch bite point

Hi all. I have a '13 te449. Is there a way to adjust the bite point of the clutch?
To fully disengage the clutch I have to pull the lever almost to the handlebar so can't do single finger operation due to pinching the fingers on the grip. I also can't really move the lever further out due to my fingers being to short. Any suggestions on how to remedy this? Thanks
 
You may have air in the system from a leak or bacd seals at master or slave. There s no way to really change engagment point. Try bleeding the system and see if you can get it back to the mid point of the pull. Also cut your clutch lever to the size of 2 fingers. I did this and LOVE it. No more pinchy pinchy.

I agree with the bleeding suggestion as a first step.

you might consider an adjustable lever like this Brake & Clutch Lever Set for sale on ebay at a reasonable price ($55):

edit- even cheaper ($18-$24) but a little too feature-filled for me:

will replace fluids and bleed first and then maybe levers if I still need them. Thanks for the advice. :-)
