  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 WR 250 clutch seal bubbles

Hi,
After riding my bike I noticed that around the clutch arm where the seal is there is a small amount of bubbles forming and popping.

Is that just a clutch seal issue?

What are the repairs like for difficulty and cost?

Any info would be great thanks
 
If it is the seal around the clutch arm, it should be a fairly simple process, off the top of my head.

1. Drain oil.
2. Take off clutch cover.
3. Remove pressure plate from clutch.
4. Pull out clutch rod dohickey (technical term) at least an inch.
5. Remove cable from clutch actuator arm.
6. Rotate clutch actuator arm to the rear of the bike and lift it up, should pull right out.
7. Pop the old seal out.
8. Put new seal in.
9. Reassemble.
10. Add oil.

That seal shouldn't cost much, Part Number 800048856 -- looked it up on Hall's they have it for $6.50.

If you have a full Rekluse, it's a bit more complicated process as you have to deal with that to get the clutch rod dohickey pulled out enough to release the actuator arm.
 
Sounds like maybe there is pressure builting up in the tranny, check the vent hose. Oil may seep out of a bad seal, but not forced out causing the foam. That is definitely not normal even if the seal failed, I think it indicates some other problem -venting maybe??
