I am Fxxxing pissed ********************************************************************************!!

[STANIMAL]

Is it me or are the 630's sub par ? Just came back from a ride (barely made it home ) my hydraulic clutch went out again ! Aside from going out at 1k miles , this one went out at 1400 miles . I bought this bike thinking that crap like this has been sorted through the 610's years of production and testing .

As much as it pains me to say this , why doesnt Yamaha bring the wr450x to the states ?

Looks to me to b e one-off. Never heard of that happening.

My master cylinder leaked a lot. Replaced it once and rebuilt the new one. Seems to be holding up so far, but the 630 doesn't get as many miles now that I have a second bike.

I am guessing Husky didnt do anything about it ?

..my hydraulic clutch went out again !..

Does that bike have the standard Bremo brake the other Husqvarna's and several other bikes have?

 

[LandofMotards]

What do you mean it went out? Lost all fluid? It's a hydraulic clutch couldn't it just need bled?

Yep.

I'm around 11k miles on my SMS, only real problem was my fault for dumping on the shifter and bending a shift fork.

610's had cable clutches. 7602 now has clutch slave pistons for the 630. Try one of those with some fresh Magura blood mineral oil and you should be good. Are you using mineral oil in the clutch?

I failed.

While true the brakes have nothing to do with the issue.

The issue is a clutch on a 630, which presumably is a Magura. I'm fairly sure as XLEnduroMan mentioned, the earlier versions of that bike had clutch cables, and the 630 had hydraulic Magura clutches, and I am also fairly sure 7602 designed an after market slave for a reason.

...my hydraulic clutch went out again...

I would call 7602 and get their input after you determine if it is a slave or master cylinder issue.

Problem is that nobody can offer any type of assistance because he just said "my clutch is broken."

We don't know if it's the hydraulics, or the plates, or if he broke the lever.

And, he said it "went out" before, but gave no insight to what happened or what he did to fix it.

 

[STANIMAL]

Its the hydraulic clutch . The slave went out and I just ordered a Zip Ty unit .

I ordered the whole slave , just need to use my existing piston . And yes , I only use the Magura fluid. Just frustrating to deal with crap like this when a bike has 1400 miles on it .

There is another option besides the Zip Ty slave, that doesn't include a piston. A member here posted about the Oberon out of the UK. It is a new slave with a twin ring piston. Sounds like a winner to me.

It was under warranty for the replacement. The rebuild was on me, as the warranty had expired.

About what you will pay for a 7602 piston and a Zip Ty Slave, am I right?

Just a speck of grit could have been the cause of that. And if it´s a faulty unit ... blame the Krauts at Magura. I didn´t want to keep the Mickey Mouse reservoir on the bar so I changed to a box type Magura unit. Result was that I couldn´t ghet ASV grips that fit. .

Which reservoir?
On the SMS, the clutch is a box res and the brake is a remote round plastic res.

No , thats about $200 , the Zip Ty is $100 .

I hear you man...it is frustrating so more than understandable. I love the 630- don't get me wrong there, it's more than a pleasure to ride- and I of course expected it to be a little more issue prone compared to an Asian bike. Still, in the first few thousand miles I also didn't expect to have an issue w/ the hydro clutch, nor an issue w/ a fraying/frying wiring harness (section of it), nor a leaky radiator (and leaks here and there in general), sprocket bolts coming loose, head bearings needing immediate attention, clutch washer issues which are bound to emerge, etc. Now of course not all have all of these issues, but the recurrent theme is that most do. I just expected/hoped it wouldn't be quite as prone to niggling issues and, in the big picture, banking on it being most durable where is counts most- the engine/trans itself (in terms of durability/longevity w/out major issues.) In the end I still deem it as worth it- the bike is a blast and no other dual sport I've had closely compares to it in terms of great power to weight ratio, torque and in general great all arounder status.
