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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE 630 Clutch bushing at 7440 miles

Just for info, this is what my clutch bushing looked like at 7440 miles:

And the result... I think, I haven't installed the new one yet. We'll see if that wobble is gone.


"Problem screen" looked fine:

Good to see your screen is fine. My new one is at around 2500 miles and, given my luck last time, I'm thinking I want to check it for peace of mind.
 
So the spring retainer thingies. Not totally hammered, but definitely something that requires attention.
And unfortunately, unless they are in really bad shape it is hard to see how good or bad they are until you take things apart.

I lucked out and got a set when I bought the bike last year, because from what I understand, Dan is out and isn't planning on making a new batch.

Old vs. new:

A rear wheel cush hub is the fix.
The springs aren't engineered to handle the power pulses on hard surface riding.
Don't forget that the hardened washers wear on the soft aluminum clutch basket too.
The stock spring spacers would live a long life just like your transmission gears and bearings will with a cush hub.
I have no dog in the fight.
Good luck:)
 
I replaced the basket bushing at ~8k miles, but I'm at over 15k miles on the stock spring spacers, they're still holding up, and I do not ride gently.
I've got a set of the new beefy ones to replace them with, probably this winter.
