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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Rekluse install tips?

I just received a Rekluse pro for my 06' TE510. I was just wondering if anyone had any helpful tips on install before I try it myself. The instructions seem pretty clear and straight forward, but I didn't know if anyone had any suggestions of things to do, try, or look out for during install. Any help is appreciated.
 
I did mine just by reading the instructions, it was actually really simple. Worked first attempt!

You should be fine.

:thumbsup:
 
I'm not sure of the differences between the regular and the pro. At least on the regular (non-Pro) version, you want to give it a good run-in (I think they recommend 20 minutes) and then check the install gap, as the mechanism will set-in and may need further adjustment (at least it did for me). Of course, this is to prevent it setting-in in the field, and needing adjustment (that happened to me). Also, on the non-Pro version, be absolutely sure that all the (16 or so) screws holding down the plate are lock-tited and tight, as they can back out.
 
What oil are you all useing with the Rekluse? The recomended Rotella or a more expensive synthetic?
 
Well I got it installed no problem, but the clutch lever does not seem to be fully disengaging the clutch.:excuseme: I can feel a little resistance on the lever and a slight slipage of the clutch when the lever is near the bar, but no full disengagement. Any suggestions?:confused:

did it work fine before? Maybe you just need to back bleed it?
 
Clutch worked fine before the rekluse install. Now It' doesn't even seem to make a difference if I pump it.
 
even after pumping, no resistance/ difference in feel till about a half inch from the bar.
 
Make sure you are using the correct springs. The instructions in ours were wrong...they included the ones for a WR and we accidentally put in the spring for a two stroke. You can get the correct installation sheet on the Rekluse website. I bet that's your problem as that is exactly what Troy's did.
 
Double checked springs while checking gap after break in, and all are correct. While the clutch cover was off, I pulled the clutch lever and saw only a tiny bit of movement on the shaft. Hardly enough to make contact with the top plate.

I think I'll try bleeding the clutch. I've heard some say that the bike should be running when bleeding with a rekluse. Is this true?
 
my clutch lever has hardly any resistance when the revs are down or the bike is not going .

start the bike put it in gear and now increase the revs , the clutch lever will expand out with more force as the clutch spins . the more the clutch engages the more pressure will be on that lever.
 
Checked the clutch plate gap today and it was good, so I reverse bled the clutch. That seems to have fixed it, lots of air in the line. I suppose it got all the air from laying on its side for about an hour. Now it works like a charm Buttery smooth!
