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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Magura Clutch Bleed (dumb) Questions

I went out to ride this morning but the clutch would not work. Found that the fluid reservoir was empty. Unfortunately, the rubber diaphragm came out with the cover and fell on the ground. Which way does it go back in? With the deep part over the hole in the bottom of reservoir or the other way? My bike is a 2010 TE310. Also the bleed kit did not seem to fit. What equipment do I need for easy bleeding? Thanks.
 
The low part goes to the outside or left when siting on bike so the suction has the most fluid over the top. Your not going to bleed it, the seal is dead on the piston. Once you replace the seal you will be able to bleed no problem.
 
Thanks Palmer84one. Got it back together. It had sucked air down the hose so I had to bleed it to get it to work. The tubing, fittings and syringes from the Magura kit just don't work. Any ideas for a better way? I will check the fluid more often now :o.
 
Very simple system. You must be loosing fluid. :confused:
1) Check the banjo fittings on the master and slave cylinder to insure they are tight, could seep and suck air. (This is where the brake line attaches at each side).
2) The seals in the master cylinder are done in. (Look to see if there is any fluid and/or residue at the leaver plunger on the hand control/perch).
3) if none of these show witness to fluid loss then you are loosing it inside to motor at the slave cylinder. Easy fix, just did the one on my 08TE450.
As for bleeding, I just keep pumping the master and while holding the clutch leaver in release the slave bleeder valve and retighten and repeat. Keep an eye on your fluid level inside the reservoir so you never go dry. This can all be done with the reservoir lid off. :thumbsup:
 
When my TE450 lost all its fluid, it was the clutch slave piston o ring. I probably could have just bought a new OEM o-ring because the slave cylinder wasn't showing any wear marks, but I opted for one of those nice extra thick pistons with the X style o-ring that are made by 7062 Racing.:thumbsup:
 
Pretty sure is leaking from the master seals. The lever was a mess. Glad you can bleed it from the master. From the bleed valve like it said in the maunual was a pain. Does the lever plunger just sit against the master cylinder or does it connect? Thanks for the help.
