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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Opinions about the autoclutch..

So...Will an EFM or Rekluse alleviate my rear-brake-stomp-induced stalls on my TC450?
 
Had never heard of these auto clutches until recently and know nothing about them will they hook up hard enough to lift the front wheel still

No different than a non auto clutch, when engaged its the same.

Back on opinions...you know what they say.

I hated my Rekluse when I first installed it but it grew on me, now I don't think I'll have another dirt bike without one. I also run a left hand rear brake and did away with the clutch lever altogether but there are certainly times I wish I had my lever back but not enough to give up the LHRB.
 
There are a number of advantages to the auto-clutch. Boils down to most people are faster in tight and twisties with one ... and even better with a left hand rear brake (I just plumb the hydro clutch to operate the rear brake).

Having basically used one for most of my off-road experience I have found a couple of big picture draw backs. I can't ride race speed without one. Too much fine braking control with the left hand rear brake means that I have rarely had to just go ahead a throw a bike into a turn faster than I really want. This has slowed my learning curve - it's taken a lot longer to learn to ride at the next level of speed where you pitch the bike in early on the throttle looking for the time and place for the rear wheel to find traction to drive you out.

Was it difficult to plumb the hydro clutch to the rear brake? Sounds like something I would be interested in doing once I get my A/C.
