  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 just went out?

So I just got an 08 510 SMR and it only has 200 miles on it. The clutch went out this morning. The lever just pulls to the grip and nothing. Going to check the fluid but it feels like nothing is in there. Looks like some oil is coming out where the clutch cable goes into the bike. Found a few drops of greenish oil on the bottom of the frame dripping off. Could this be a slave cylinder problem so soon? :excuseme:
 
if you don't see any fluid evidence yet the master cylinder is getting lower its your slave piston seal bypassing fluid, this is and has been a very common issue.

But wouldn't that leak into the bike and not on the outside of the bike.
 
yes the slave leaks into the engine, if you dont see any evidence of leaks externally that is is your culprit. It is a simple sealed system.
 
I noticed a lot of threads regarding using the 7602 racing piston to prevent and cure this problem. If the slave cylinder isn't the problem I would like to prevent it from happening.
