• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Hydro clutches for the WR250/300 ready to go...

Hi Kelly,

I couldn't find the kits on the website and I'm interested but have a few questions. What's the best way to get ahold of you guys?

Email is usually the best as we are a small company spread across three locations. (Sales/ Manufacturing / inventory) We do have them.

BTW we are int he middle of a HUGE site upgrade with lots of cool new stuff and a MUCH better layout.

Thanks,
Kelly

I do not ride a 250 at this time, but in all honestly, how is the pull when compared to a stock 250 with the clutch arm if my mind serves me correctly 3/16ths or 5/16s of and inch. On my old ones it pulled like butter with this mod and still did not stall. Thanks

I always took my 250 Huskys (Last one I did was and 04 I believe) and cut the clutch arm and made it either 3/16ths or 5/16ths of and inch longer. I think it was 3/16ths. Back then the stock clutch cable also was not the best and I was using a motion pro terminater clutch cable. Bike still did not stall and the thing pulled with one finger! If the hydro unit has a hard clutch pull, then I see no advantage to it. Has anyone used this setup? Does it pull like butter?

mine is "almost" light enough for just my pinky to pull it in. Seriously. When you first put it on it doesnt feel that much light until the engin is running and it gets even smoother and easier

thats what i needed to hear mate!
 
We have a couple of customer complaints with these clutches and some recent changes from the maker as well. There are 2 different complaints we have had. #1 The clutch cable holder (part of the main case) has to be drilled out to a larger size to accept the new slave cylinder. #2 the set up on some bikes drags on the main case and is noticable on the pull of the lever. There has also been a substantial price increase as well on these units. If it still sounds like something that you want shoot me a PM and I will help you out. Mike.
