• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

84 240 WR clutch actuator device upgrade?

The Magura hydraulic clutch conversion certainly does make for a very light and predictable clutch, I rode this animal twice today and can honestly say that this is the shit! As mentioned earlier, it is not period correct but wow, what a difference it is to my 400 which I rode back to back. Detail pics to follow.
 
I bought a Chinese hydro setup of a thumpster or something .
Looked the same as that setup but.
It came up short in the travel and ended up leaking at the seal around that thin rod.
Went back to the cable cause i couldn't justify the around $200 bucks for a real one.
 
Hi,

I have these two coming in the post, $32.58 U.S for both, my mate Mike and I are going to see if

we can fit it to his XT600,

I bought this slave cylinder because it came with a hose with the correct 90 degree end for the

master cylinder end.


I found another slave cylinder with adjustment on the end of the rod, if the first slave cylinder

doesn't work we will try this one,

I am probably still looking at another 1 - 2 weeks before I get them, I will post the outcome.

:)
 
I measured the clutch cable outer at 1200mm so I assume you would need that length hose like the one you linked to for use on a LC Husky. .
 
Hi,

Yes 1.2 meters, I figure we can easily shorten the hose if needed.

Like Dukkman said, I hope there is going to be enough travel in the slave cylinder.

It is worth a try because at the moment I have about $40 Aus. into it and even with another slave cylinder,

that is only about $55 Aus.

When the parts turn up I will keep you all posted of the outcome.

Hi Dukkman, try using Automatic transmission fluid instead of brake fluid in the master cylinder.

:)
 
I should begin by saying that I am very interested in building one of these, blown up four strokes are plentiful and cheap, and I was amazed at how well this package works!
The hydraulic clutch is a Magura and has a stroke of 10mm, I measured an old clutch cable at 1200mm and it has a cable joiner attaching the slave cylinder via a short length of cable.
It works brilliantly with slight clutch drag, lever effort is much less than the cable setup though.
I've seen some on eBay with a slave cylinder stroke of 15mm, which may eliminate the drag assuming the rest of the clutch is set up properly.

Hi,

" The cable joiner attaching the slave cylinder via a short length of cable ".

Did this come off the pit bike?

Do you have a link for the slave cylinder with a 15 mm stroke, if we need it?

:)
 
No, this is a Magura kit adapted to this application.
I'll dig out the link to the Chinese kit with the 15mm stroke.
 
Hi,

Thanks for that.

I just measured the travel on the clutch arm of my 570,

it looks to be about 12mm.
