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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Rekluse install problem

AA Class
Im installing a z-start pro on my 11 wr 300 and with the thrust washer on the center clutch still contacts the basket and does not spin freely? Would it be ok to shim until it clears? The bike only has about 10 hrs is all at this point, so the washer and basket are in good condition. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for the help
 
Not sure how you did the install, but I found the instructions lacked a step to include the "return spring carrier" without the washer, then the C150 spring over the Spring Carrier. The rest of the install was fine and the clutch has worked great on the few rides I have taken with it thus far.

Hope this helps.
 
If I remember correctly the WR250/300 had a seperate message on the instruction sheet to leave a certian part off when installing the throw out/thrust bearing parts. Can't recall which part. I'm at work right now so I don't have the instructions handy. Do recall reading this message?
 
We had the same problem same bike ,after hours of research and rekluse sending a new inner hub ,still had the same problem.We found a .020in. shim and placed it between the basket and hub and it worked perfect.they seem to think its a clearance thing on the husqvarna side,but I think husky changed some small thing on 2011/12 on only that needs a shim now or .020 more meat on the basket.billf
 
Installed one on my 11' and had to use both the 48 and 65 spacer plates to get the gap right.
 
My mechanic, Evan Yarnall at Solid Performance, did have to machine something to make it work. Rekluse told him some Huskys had a different spec in there. Italian manufacturing is a colorful sometimes.
