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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Lightening clutch pull TC 510

Anyone found a way to lighten the clutch pull? Better pivot levers? I single finger clutch all the time and gets hard on the dude.
 
Didja move the perch inboard as far as possible? This puts your clutch farther out from the pivot point (ok, that's obvious- but I had to say for future readers).

if you could find a bigger slave piston (magura, right??) maybe you could get the slave cylinder bored. I often wish I could find a liner and smaller slave piston for my brembo, to increase the travel. My clutch effort is pretty easy, just not enough travel. I wonder if there are any different slave cylinders available for magura or brembo that would fit on our bikes.

OTOH, if you want your problems to go away without doing anything- take my shovelhead for a ride: the clutch takes 2 men & a small boy. (riding in traffic sux) ...your current clutch effort will feel laughably effortless afterwards.

good luck
 
Ya the pearch is moved. I think i will make myself a MMC style lever and see what happends. I can 2 finger all day but sometimes the really technical stuff needs 1 finger finess!

What!!! HD engineers did that...... (Sorry, had to, hate HD)
 
Take a look at a Clake. They make a product called One Light Clutch that replaces the stock cylinder and lever with theirs. They advertise that it reduces clutch pull effort by 75% and doesn't add any extra lever travel like the MMC style lever does. They are a little pricey, but they get great reviews.
 
Once of Scott Summers setup tips on his 2008 510:11 You can remove two bolts/springs out of the clutch (on opposing sides), so you go from six to four bolts. This reduces the effort at the lever about 30 percent, and after 12 hours of racing we've seen minimal wear on the plates and no perceived slipping.

 
I did this on my 08 510 and did not like the feel...but it is free and worth a shot, OP may like it just fine.
 
Ya was thinking of trying that. I ride some really rough stuff and beat the crap out of the clutch. Not sure i want to do that.
