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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Do you mean adjusting it at the perch? (I can help you with that)
Or are you talking about something else that I’m not aware of?

Six month, depending on how frequent you’re riding maybe it’s an old oil issue?

:excuseme:

Yeah, at the perch. I've had 3 (at least) oil changes in that time. When I first got it, the clutch engaged at about halfway in the lever pull.

When George adjusted it, it engaged almost immediately when you began to release it, AND neutral was easy.

It started to get farther and farther from the grip before it engaged, and got hard to go to neutral.

I adjusted it at the perch so it engages almost immediately, but neutral is still very hard, and it lurches a bit when I put it in gear with the clutch in.
 
I suspect that you are experiencing cable stretch. The factory cable is a bit whimpy. You might try installing a heavier duty one like a Barnett. I think they are available from Motosportz and I know Halls carries them. If that doesn't fix the problem then the next thing would be the throw out rod, sometimes the ends get wore down and don't want to stroke far enough to disengage the clutch. For that you should probably talk to George, he can tell you what right rod length is.
