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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Clutch?

I have a 09 WR300, I would like to lighten the clutch pull a little. I saw something on here one time about changing out the clutch lever for a different one to lighten the pull. I can't find the post though. Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated.
 
The clutch perch used on about every other bike (CR, YZ, etc) can be used. It will pull easier but also pull less cable.
 
I don,t have any problems with the clutch on my 300. I think it´s very smooth and not heavy at all. it´s not as light as a hydraulic but not heavy. If you just keep it lubed and no bends on i´the wire there shouldn´t be any problem.

I made an extension that puts the pivot out an extra 1/2". Its for my WR250. There have been a few posts where guys did the same sort of thing but I had to search a while for them.

Ballard's here in Australia sell a pivot assist clutch perch and lever which made the clutch pull on my WR300 really light. It's on page 64 - 65 of the catalogue. I'm sure you'd be able to get something similar in the US.

Don't forget to keep the cable lubricated. Get one of those lube injectors and give it a squirt with WD40 every couple of rides. It makes a big difference.
