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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Readily Available Clutch Lever Alternative?

Help!

I broke a 2008 TE610 clutch lever at the hinge pin. Unfortunately, I can't get a replacement delivered until next week and I was hoping to ride this weekend.

Does anyone one know of an alternative lever from a common bike that might be available at the Albuquerque Cyclegear or a non-husky dealer that would work?

Nearest Husky dealer is 500 miles away!

By the way - after riding 50 miles home without a clutch I realize these bikes only need one for starting out!;)

Thanks in advance,

Howard
 
Howard,

I Replaced mine with and ASV lever and perch with the hot start that is controlled with your thumb. I use the hot start for the choke, I added a wave washer between the hot start lever and the perch to give it some friction so the choke will not return on its own.

Note: You can have my old lever and stock perch if you want?

Good Luck

The KTM's, ATK's and Aprillia that us the cable clutch will work.
But it may not make the clutch safety switch work right. From what I understand you just connect the wires to over ride it.

Edit: went and found the info I posted some were else.

ATK and acouple others have also used this same clutch lever.

Okay I had the same problem with the clutch lever.
I found out from the Domino's web site that, lever for KTM LC4 620SX should fit.
And the local KTM guy did have that. The only difference was that the plastic part at the end of clutch cable wouldn't fit. So I have got rid of that and put the lever. It works OK.

Now there are several options which are foldable and should be more crash resistant like

WOuld this fit straight forward to the Husky original handle bar?
Did anybody try those?
