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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Problem with clutch on 2008 Te450

Hello! Bought my 2008 Husqvarna Te 450 2 weeks ago and have tested it 2 times. Today when I took it for a short spin the clutch felt weird, released really early but I thought it was because i had adjusted the lever after last time riding it. But then I checked the reservoir and it was empty! :doh:

Where should I start checking? Some seal has obviously started leaking. Didn't find any marks of where it could leak. My friend has also this problem on his 2007 Ktm exc 125 and what I remember he hasn't fixed it yet but I think i will give him a call later today.

But I would be very happy if someone could tell me where to start or something!
 
I would just give it some more fluid and prime her and see how she goes. It is only 20 minutes of your time. it probably is a seal/ring issue but you never know.
 
i would it straight back...thats why you buy new from dealers, to get support and warranty.
 
It was the o-ring, clutch works fine now.

Pete I'm 18 and going to school, no way in hell i could afford a brand new bike. I rather buy one second hand and learn how to fix it than taking it to the dealer every time somethings wrong :)
 
Was going to say either the O ring or the clutch piston snapped the retainer ring out of the slave cylinder bore and the piston then was "walking" further than designed and fluid escaping past it.
