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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2008 Te450 1450 miles Not sure how old the clutch is..

I'm having a slight problem with going into neutral.
When The engine is stopped it isn't really a problem. But when the engine is going, I cant go into neutral unless the bike is moving. Also when I am on the trail And I'm still in gear, if the engine dies and I have to restart, when i put the clutch in it feels like the clutch is still dragging and the engine doesn't want to start. Unless I manage to work it back into neutral.
Time for a clutch ?? or did I manage to wear something else out?

Thx ... Jeremy
 
There will always be a bit of drag on the clutch when the engine is not running and in gear, that is normal. if your bike actually lurches forward when you try to start it with the clutch in and in gear, or wants to creep forward with the motor running in gear, then you might have a problem. If so, try different motor oils. Some cause more drag on the clutch plates than others. Your engine oil should be clean. Make sure your clutch master cylinder is full of mineral oil and the oil is clean all the way down to the slave unit on the engine. Sometimes the piston down there wears the cylinder of the unit and it can leak.
 
I would also check the master for fluid. Check your lever free play too.

Before I got wrap around guards, I whacked a tree hard. Ever since then my master leaked a little fluid and did what your describing. I rebuilt the master, X- ringed the slave, adjusted the lever free play and it is good as it was new now.

Not full, but at the correct level, IIRC it's 6mm from the top according to Magura, Husky say's 4mm from the top I believe.
My numbers may be wrong (sometimers disease :p), I'm sure someone else here know's the needed level
 
Did you ever find a cause? This is an issue I have been dealing with on my bike for about 6ish months.
 
I have the bike apart right now, I'm doing fork seals then I'm goibg to attempt to address the issue, I think rebuilding the master and slave might be a fix, but well see
 
It's super easy to take your clutch plates out and measure them just need a micrometer. Your owners manual should indicate the wear limits of the plates.
