What could cause a clutch to stop working? Never heard of that.

It always amazes me when top-maintained factory bikes can't make it through a 20 minute race.

On a hydraulic clutch, it could of been the piston seal in either master or slave cylinder.

Those rockstar huskies sure have a lot of small problems.. remember that round last year I think it was Anderson lost a seat and Zacho lost a number plate? Looked like a Rockstar yard sale on the track 🤣

Where does it say that there is no reason?

There is always a reason.

Usually the piston and seal fail in the slave cylinder.

When I said no reason I meant like a crash. I meant no reason as it was a mechanical.

Did someone hit the bike? The line and master cylinder are on the side of the motor where it could pretty easily be hit.

Huskies are pieces of shit based on the US factory team the last few years. Or they just have a loose program. Either way, this doesn't surprise me.

I had one go out with the stock Magura slave cylinder. They run (or did run) the Rekluse slave cylinder, so it's not the same as what went out on mine.

Hydraulic clutches absolutely have feel. I never understood people saying it’s either all the way on or off. Not the case at all?
