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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Clutch cable rubbing

nev.. said:
When I got home from work today I rerouted my clutch cable behind the frame. Much more relaxed, but there are a couple of spots where it will rub against the radiator hose when the bars are on full right lock. Does anyone foresee that being a problem when the hose gets hot ?

My cable is also worn, halfway through sheath wall. They didnt bend then oem bracket..it is straight. I have slipped some plastic tubing along the length of the oem bracket, its length is just short of the bracket and expanded the end of the bracket so the tubing that i slipped over acts like a roller. Play in the clutch cable is satisfactory. Thanks to you guys who bumped this issue.I had missed it. If you have a Terra this forum should be studied.
There really should be a dealer directed set a classes that are obligatory to attend (lol) before you turn the key. I suspect if ktm hadnt bought husky out these issues would have been corrected with future builds.

I just re-routed straight up the left side. No worries at all now.

Good idea....doing it today. Actually is quite taut around bottom of radiator in oem position.

This forum should be filtered for all the good ideas, warnings, printed and sent to every dealer that can be bothered to still support this bike.
I guess if production had continued ,the success of this bike, compared with the anaemic if not expensive alternatives, would have forced most of the glitches to have been corrected. With earnest Iwould trust.

Checked mine today, yup! POS factory clamp not doing anything except cutting into the cable sheath. I replaced the clamp w/a heavy duty Harley clamp, and put a 6" piece of shrink tube over the damaged cable.
