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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I am the happy owner of a TE630 with 13000 Km and 1.5 years old.
I have been searching the forum for answers to my question and I found some threads but i am still confused.
Starting a few weeks ago my clutch started to fail. When inspecting the magura reservoir next to the lever i found it empty. No apparent leaks along the whole circuit. I filled the reservoir, took out the air, and back to riding. But after a couple of days the clutch did not work and the oil had gone again. So i decided to inspect the lower part of the circuit, the slave cilinder. When i took out the three bolts the oil started to pour from inside. So i removed the circle clip and looked at the pieces inside, the cilinder that pushes the clutch with its o-ring and a spring. The o-ring was apparently ok i cleaned everything, rebuilt, re-bleed. My problem is still there. After a couple of rides or a couple of days the level goes down. What is worse is that the oil maybe actually getting into the engine...what do you suggest ?
 
Sounds like you need all new seals in the slave.

I believe ZipTy (if I remember correctly) makes a double-sealed slave piston.

Thanks for your reply. I could not find the double-sealed slave piston you mention in the ZipTy web site. But i found the following: http://www.oberon-performance.com/acatalog/Husqvarna.html
possibly the best& long-lasting fix.

Yeah, that doesn't look like a bad deal. That's probably the way I would go if I ever developed that problem. As it is, I know my seals are holding up just fine because I have to bleed my master on a semi-regular basis as the clutch wears and more fluid is displaced into the reservoir.
