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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

X-lite Rekulse EXP issue

I installed a Rekluse EXP kit in my '10 TC250, but I'm having issues with not being albe to totally disengage the clutch with the lever. It helps the auto clutch to disengage at idle, but it will still take off if you rev the motor with the lever in.

Once under load it doesn't seem to do anything when you pull it in, so you can't "fan" the clutch out of a turn and it's not slipping.

With the engine off I can hear the pressure plate moving inside the cover when I pull the lever, but it has very little effect on it above idle.

I did the break in as they suggested and reset the gap to their specs, but I haven't been back in there to see what's going on or if it has changed.

Anybody seen anything like this with the EXP's?
 
I have over 2000 race miles on mine (on a te250) with no problems. Perhaps you are low on clutch fluid and not getting complete disengagement?
 
It's not low, but I possible could've gotten air in the line when I had it on it's side doing the install.

Did you use the stock thick spacer washer behind the hub when you installed the Rekluse hub?
 
Yeah, I just wanted to make sure I read that right. It said use the stock parts unless noted.

I guess I'll recheck the gap and then the bleed, to see if there's any air in the system.

Do you have that much time on one set of plates ? That's great if you do. Makes me feel good.

Yes, original plates. That clutch hooks up real well, not much slip.

Cool. I've never had a problem with clutch wear with the Z-start pros I'd had, but they made such a big deal out of it in the EXP manuals it had me worried.
 
It wasn't the bleed. Bled the clutch and it still did it. Had to end up going to the one turn five tick setting to get it to stop.
