Installing the oberon clutch slave on the 2020 Husqvarna 701 enduro LR is a must. A key weakness of the 2020 Husky 701 LR is the clutch slave o ring. It can leave you stranded. Installing the Oberon clutch slave is the best way to create reliability without giving up the smooth clutch feel of a hydraulic clutch. While I'm at it, I will be adding a billet case saver from NiceCNC for peace of mind and much better off-road mud management. The OEM sprocket cover is a mud collector that just needs to go. The new unit is strong and light and looks great. Both are necessary upgrades that will help turn this 2020 Husqvarna 701 enduro LR into what could be the ultimate adventure bike without going full blown Rally conversion. The goal here is to build a bike that can go anywhere and do anything...better than my GS or other 400-500 pound adventure bikes that are so popular these days. ...Well at least that's the goal of the 30 plus modifications that are planned for this Husky 701 enduro.
I hope this video is helpful, I'm always delighted to get your questions comments and feedback.

I have several of the NiceCNC bits for my SMCR, and I am very happy with the fit and finish. I have some KTM PP, some SM project too, the Nice CNC quality is good, just like the look of some of the other brands.

My concern with when I installed the case guard is unless the chain guide is EXACTLY the correct thickness you may have incorrect clamping force on the clutch slave. That billet aluminum won't be flexing. If the chain guide is too thick you don't get proper clamping force on the slave. If the guide is too thin the aluminum will be trying to bend to clamp the chain guide in place. It all depends on a factory frame welded part for things to align. For the factory case guard that frame weld does not need to hold a tight tolerance.

I don't have a concern here, because the fasteners do not bottom out, so we are able to correctly torque the screws to 7.4 ft /lbs. (10Nm) Also worth noting that this update has been reliable for over 10,000 miles of riding so far. Thanks for the comment!

@@dualsportgarage You missed the point entirely. It has nothing to do with bottoming out. The factory guard is plastic with 2 bolts. It flexes so the two bolts clamp properly. The billet is three bolts. It doesn't flex. Unless all three mating points are exactly correct in three dimensional space the rigidity of the guard will prevent something from clamping properly. In my case if I finger snug the two clutch slave bolts the plastic guard won't fit in. So if you loosen the other bolts to force it in, the billet guard is trying to keep the top clutch slave bolt from clamping. Unless the whole thing can bend enough in the middle to let the bolt clamp down. Hope that makes it easier to visualize.

@dualsportgarage 11 ай бұрын

Okay now I gotcha, sounds like something is not seated properly, because I found that all mating surfaces matched perfectly with the plastic guide in place when I did the install...and this case saver is effectively the same design as most other popular chain guards for the 690/701, so I don't think there is a design problem...not trying to question your work, but I'm concerned that your clutch slave may not be seated fully or perhaps the rubber seal is pinched which has happened to other riders I know...not hard to do because the mating surface has a very sharp edge... it is easy to catch and cut the rubber "donut" on the edge. (...that rubber seal is replaceable if that were to happen) Hope you get it sorted.

@@dualsportgarage The clutch slave is too low, not too high. The chain slider is too thick essentially. I have the Vanasche BTW. The likely scenario is tolerance in the frame weld point. That the guard designer can't control.

I never put a gasket on dry, always soak it with whatever fluid your working with. But it may be not matter, just saying.

@dualsportgarage 2 жыл бұрын

You are definitely not alone… whether to install gaskets dry is a healthy debate… Each of us has our own personal experience that informs our decisions…I have several decades of racing, only having installed dry gaskets …obviously that makes me comfortable with that approach… But I’ve also reached out to a couple of manufacturers to get their feedback on the subject as well which I will add to this thread… In the end I’m not really trying to change minds… because each of us has our own riding style which contributes significantly to how our machines perform and last…with that said I’m gonna say keep doing what works for you…as long as it’s on two wheels it’s all good.

Installed mine last night and replaced my engine oil today,when I let the bike idle for a few minutes oil is dripping from the bottom of the slave cylinder,would this be,a bad seal?

@dualsportgarage 2 жыл бұрын

if you’re sure the clutch slave is leaking there is a chance it was not seated properly…in which case I would remove and inspect the clutch slave, gasket and o-ring for damage or defect… if they all look good then reinstall it careful to apply good even pressure on all sides so it seats properly inside the opening (o-ring needs to be all the way in the bore) this way the gasket gets good pressure all the way around the flat surface of the engine case… this is best achieved by completely lubing the o-ring and tightening each bolt a little at a time alternating bolts so the O-ring does not get hung up on any one side by accident. Good luck!

It could be done without the one direction valve?

@dualsportgarage 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, it could… this was just a precaution. But if you’re careful to retighten the bleeder before you release the clutch lever each time…you should be able to avoid drawing air back into the clutch slave.

Do you know what oil was used by the factory with the original slave? I understand you can use either mineral oil or brake fluid.

@dualsportgarage Жыл бұрын

Hi , The owners manual calls for Dot 4 or Dot 5.1 (not mineral oil). I can't say what was used from the factory. Dot 5.1 is basically a newer version of Dot 4 with the same glycol base but Dot 5.1 has a higher boiling point 260C vs 230C. Never use Dot 5 or Mineral Oil in this system these are not at all compatible. You can however add Dot 4 with Dot 5.1 as they are perfectly compatible. Hope that helps, Thanks.
