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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE310 Clutch problem.

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and although I'm not actually a Husky rider, I'm myself posting on behalf of a Japanese friend who has a TE310. Huskys have become pretty popular here in the past few years, partly due to the number of supported riders in the Japan National Cross Country Series.

The bike has developed a curious problem related to the Magura clutch. When running there appears to be no pressure in the system and the lever feels spongy (the same sensation as when there is air in the system). However, when the bike is switched off, the pressure returns, although it is far from perfect. I suspect that pressure maybe building up in the crankcase due to a blocked breather, but that is pure speculation. Also, after studying the schematics I can't find the breather pipe! Any suggestions much appreciated. The poor owner had to drag his tired, heavy old DRZ-400 round a demanding enduro course last weekend and it damn near killed him.

Hi and thanks for the update on Husky machines in Japan ...Maybe your friend can post some pics of the racing there and some results ..

I don't have the same bike as your friend but the slave cylinder on the clutch has been known to give issues on past bike ... My bike had to have the o-ring changed on the slave piston ... Many here change out the piston and o-ring as a package ... The thread posted by Indorider has some good information ...

That breather piper should be coming out the back side of the top of the valve cover ... It will either connect from the valve cover to the airbox or to the frame ...
