• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 TE250 Clutch issue

I just got a stock spring as previously mentioned. It was $36 CDN (I too am in Canada). Really hope the new springs help you guys!
 
Good to hear. I have one ordered but apparently it was backordered but I'm told it should be here next week. Fingers crossed! Why are so many of these things coming warped from the factory? KTM should put out a recall...
 
Make sure you let your dealer know the problem and solution so that KTM track it. It's the only way they can track down the root cause and investigate manufacturing discrepancies.
 
Sure enough, I just replaced the belleville spring with a new OEM one and the drag seems to be gone.
 
Same here, ordered the OEM Bellville spring, installed it and problem solved. bike is 2014 TE250
 
Well I just went from one issue to another. Got my new spring a while ago and waited for weeks while my dealership tried to get husky to cover it, to no avail. And when they weren't prepared to cover it themselves I just took it home (for the 20 minutes it takes to replace it). However I just bought a new inch pound torque wrench specifically for the bike and it doesn't work the same way as my big one. My big wrench clicks (audibly and you feel it give way) where this one doesn't really do anything. Upon further attempts with I do notice a small click but barely!!! Anyway needless to say, I stripped the threads right out of the base which the spring retainer bolts into. What a joke. Now does anyone think a helicoil would work fine or could that offset the balance of the clutch?? Not sure how finely tuned these things as. Going on 2 months without riding now.....torture
 
i just did a first trans oil change, 50/50 10w30 and atf type f. what little drag there was is negligible now. btw a 2014 tc250.

That sucks. You could always use the empoxy form-a-thread to make new threads. Really those bolts aren't torqued in there that tight from my memory. I didn't even bother with a torque wrench, just used T-tool.
 
Hey Guys thread dig sorry, just found this while looking for the problem with my clutch, Hopefully the new bellville spring I ordered will solve the problem, got one with the new clutch pack from ktm but I have tried everything and still dragging. BTW I'm on a 14 te250.

I'm also riding a 14 TE250. The new spring fixed the problem instantly. My bike was brand new at the time. If you took off the clutch cover and pulled the clutch you could see that the clutch was not disengaging evenly. Being that your bike is a couple years old it could just need a proper bleeding of the clutch master/slave cyl.
