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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have recently removed the discs/plates to measure, they are all within spec and have no odd burs or blemishes. The basket isnt all notchy where they contact it either like some pictures ive seen on here. I adjusted the screw/nut at the center that sets the pushrod length for the actuator arm. It is about flush with the nut and i wish it was a bit longer..but it is very close to 90deg when the pressure plate breaks loose. i dont think this is my issue..I have installed a new motion pro terminator cable and adjusted it also. I have just been living with the drag for years and am finally trying to get rid of the excessive drag when the clutch lever is pulled..is it even possible? I have never been able to push the bike in gear with the clutch lever pulled, let alone start it in gear.
I have physically pushed the actuator arm all the way to its limit just to see if it was possible to disengage the clutch enough. I was still unable to push the bike in gear while pushing the arm....Is there hope? Someone show me the light. What do i need to do?...aside from not trying to push my bike..!
 
the problem is pressure plate gap, if ANY of the plates are a little distorted from ANY heat
besides just replacing the clutch check the parts for flat
 
Gotcha. Good call. I'll pull it back apart and check. Ill report back. U say ANY heat...does that mean it'll just happen again?
