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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I just got my bike back today and there seems to be a tick in the clutch and now my brake locked up what would cause bolth these


because it seems to me the dealer rode the piss outta my bike I forgot to check the mileage
 
Locked up as in the wheel stopped spinning?

Sure you didn't have a sprocket bolt come loose?

It could be that the clevis and the round lever stop are not adjusted right.

That's a posibility.

I made an oversized cam stop so I could get the pedal as low as I wanted it without risking damage to the master. I'm 6'4"...

Check to make sure the cam stop isn't stopping the pedal before it completely releases the master. There should a small bit of pedal travel before it starts to compress the cylinder.
 
If you replace the top jamb nut on the master with some spacers (washers), you can lower the pedal a good bit, just make sure it doesn't bottom on the peg mount instead of giving you full braking pressure.



Once you lower it you probably need a bigger negative stop (cam) to keep the pedal from snapping up under spring force, trying to rip the master cylinder piston out. You need to set the cam carefully so that it will stop the pedal before it pulls on the master cylinder clevis, but doesn't compress the master cylinder. There should be a tiny bit of dead travel / slop. That's why the clevis is slightly slotted.

I also had to shorten the stud on the master piston a few threads with a grinder so that it didn't interfere with the rear of the pedal.

Here's the factory cam stop next to the larger one I made
