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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

smr 450 clutch problem

hi guys i just got a 2008 husqvarna smr 450 and already have an issue. when the bike was off the clutch pull felt really good but then when i started the bike it became way to soft. i started pumping the lever and the pressure came back. when i drove after that, for like a mile the pressure went down but the clutch was still engaging and disengaging. i just kept pumping it once in a while, while driving. i put the bike away and the next morning i noticed that there were a couple drops of fluid under the bike. today i found out that the fluid is leaking out of the clutch slave cylinder. i took the slave cylinder off and there was a bunch of fluid sitting there. and i think its coming from the clutch push rod (or control rod, whatever you guys call it) because when i spin it a lot of fluid starts seeping out. the bike runs really good and doesnt have any other problems besides that. what do you guys think i should do. and im only 17 and dont have so much money even though i know that these bikes can become money pits sometimes but there one of the best to ride. and i am pretty handy mechanically which is pretty unusual for a kid my age these days.

i know this is a lot but its my first time here. so thanks
