    Action shots?

    Please excuse, this is not my Husky. It IS my 1974 250 CZ black frame. This is me, back in 1974 at Carlsbad. Yeah, I've been doing this foolishness for awhile....

    701 Oberon Slave change

    Well, I left it alone, and then tried it. I haven't pulled the piston and seals out of the M/C as yet, but it seems to WORK. So, for now, I guess I'll leave it alone and ride it. It drags very slightly (not enough to creep forward with the brakes released.) Well, I'm bamboozled at this point...

    701 Oberon Slave change

    Returned the "Magura Blood" as it's the wrong fluid for a 2018MY.

    Throttle Rocker "cruise control"

    I use "Go Cruise" throttle lock. Works pretty good and it's transferable. It's also only $20....

    Chain Lube

    I use tthe political card stock I get in the mail. I must get 50-60 every election. I use the cards to deflect the over spray, so it doesn't hit my rear brake rotor. I also use Bel-Ray Super Clean chain wax. It reduces chain "fling."

    701 Oberon Slave change

    I was going to start the process today, but other things got in the way. I opened up the M/C cap and the gasket is HUGE. It's about a quarter inch too long now, so it has swelled bug time. I put the lid back on as I didn't have time to mess with it today. Maybe during the week. Oh, here's what...

    701 Oberon Slave change

    It's a 2018. With the "crap" M/C from Magura. Never had problems like this, with any hyd clutch or brake system in 50 years. (Ok, so most of those may have been cable, but still...) It's only had 2 M/C's so far, both OEM stock units. Should be receiving the "rebuild kit" tomorrow...

    701 Oberon Slave change

    Well, now I'm hearing that I need a "rebuild kit" for my M/C. So, I ordered one. It also appears that the fluid I used is NOT compatible with the seals. Some say, I need the "Magura Blood" fluid, so I have that on order too. Now, to wait for the parts/fluid to arrive, then try again with another...

    701 Oberon Slave change

    I'm finding that some Magura rubber seals swell when using DOT 4 or 5.1 fluid, as the cap recommends. So, I rammed fluid from the slave bleeder to the M/C. I now have a "lever" but it doesn't "feel" right. Feels like it's spongy. I tried putting it in gear and pulling the lever. It does...

    701 Oberon Slave change

    Thanks, I'm thinking the same. It's been replaced before, but I dunno if the mechanic used the proper fluid or not. Seems the M/C lid gasket is swelled, so the seals may be as well. Off to order a rebuild kit...

    701 Oberon Slave change

    Hi all, I have a bit of a problem. I changed out the OEM slave to an Oberon unit, and am having trouble getting a firm lever after refilling the M/C. Usually, I have good luck using my miti-vac and pulling fluid thru the slave nipple. Try as I might, I could not get the fluid to pull thru the...

    Ride Pictures!

    Now y'all are probably wondering why I stuck a pic of my brother's Husky in here. Well, he bought this bike new, back in 1970 (or so.) He died in June so his kids sold the bike this weekend. To a collector, they said. It's a WR360 Enduro. He removed all the lights/horn and stuff, Like many...
