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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE510 clutch failure to disengage

C Class
A friend of mine has a ´05 TE510 for sale. I like the bike but noticed that the clutch does not fully disengage and neutral is hard to locate. I asked the local Husky dealer about repair cost and he said anywhere from $400 to $800 labor and parts depending if the problem is the hydraulic pump or the clutch plates or both. Another friend has told me that it is a common repair to just add a ball bearing on the piston at the end of the push rod for a simple fix. This rod runs across the motor from the pump to the clutch. Supposedly many KTM´s have the same problem. Has anyone tried this fix with a Husky?

Edited: Mechanic pulled the rod and installed a washer on the end of it (on the clutch side). Problem resolved,
