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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE/TC Husky clutch question...

Husqvarna
A Class
Being new to husky clutch my question is about the fluid. Its stamped on the cover dot4or5 but husky says mineral oil based only nothing that says brake fuid..WTF? shop says bel-ray 5 brake fluid others say magura blood only I'm lost...help!
 
this will turn into an oil thread. Fast, BTW you will get 20 different answers to this.

I am and aircraft technician/engineer/mech guy this is my take.

Magura Clutch= use Magura Blood (its red mineral oil , probably with some sort of proprietary additive). I would also not be against using whatever type/brand fluid the owners manual calls out either, because that's probably what KTM/Husky fills it with during assembly. (I have used Motorex mineral clutch oil, when I did not have access to the blood.)
You can easily get Magura blood from your dealer or order it online.
That is my take use the OEM stuff, the stuff that the OEM (Magura in this case) used to test and qualify their equipment. It's on my work bench shelf. Along with all the other oils I use..........and never talk about for fear of the Oil Thread Mayhem that will ensue
 
Use what it says on the top cap.... don't use dot 3....

When it says mineral oil on top cap you don't have to use the magura blood (that's high as heck) theres a few different makers of m/c mineral oil.... I've used baby oil in a pinch (its mineral too)..... lol

just to clarify.... what bike is this on?
 
Well my thinking behind using mineral oil and not brake fluid is, if the slave cylinder seal fails you don't have corrosive brake fluid inside your expensive engine.
Mineral oil is the safe route.

That's only what I've thought the reasoning behind it could be
