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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Rear Brake help!

New to me 2010 with only 8 hrs on it. When I push rear brake it requires a much harder than normal push to get braking and very hard to lock it up? Tried cleaning the disc, and bike is like new but this brake issue concerns me? Front you just touch and it is super.
Thoughts?
 
just went thru the bleeding process of opening bleed screw, push brake, close screw, let up brake. did this approx 20 times.

brakes still feel like you must apply more than normal pressure to get rear brake stopping?
has me stumped?
 
Caliper seems to slide free on pins, fluid level good, pedal adjusted, but still need more than normal push to activate brake ?
would my 20 or so pumps of brake, bleeding fluid, be enough?

a real mystery....
 
I'm not sure what your brake line is made of, because I have seen SS, plastic and rubber on different models/years Huskys.
If the hose has been crushed it can be restricted on the inside and look good on the outside. I have seen it before and the symptoms match your's.
