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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

98 TE610 ignition problem solved

This is my story, I hope it helps somebody. I bought a 98 te610 kicker, not running, with no spark. I was told the magnets on the flywheels on these get loose eventually(factory defect) which ruins the timing and HAS to be fixed. I'm sure this is true. However, this was not the problem with mine. I know this because I sent it to George at Uptite Husky and he told me the magnets were fine. As it turns out George is a good honest guy. He even sent my flywheel back on his dime. Thanks George. Anyhow, by this time I had done enough research to take the next step, which probably should have been the first step(it's cheap), which was to check the resistance on the coil which checked out O.K. But I still had no spark. So I ordered a cdi unit, but not the original, it was a later model cdi coil combo which solved the problem and was much cheaper than the origional cdi that need a seperate coil. Long story short, the cdi units can be the problem you have and there is a less expensive alternative to the originals, which are upwards of $250 USED. In going this route you will eliminate one component in your ignition system by combining cdi/coil and reduce cost of parts.It's late and I'm tired.Goog Luck. Mudbone:D
 
i know that the ducati set ups changed 96 or 97, they made them a little simpler.
my 96 had a control box behind the headlight, my other newer bikes dont.
 
yes, but they changed them sometime in the years 96 or 97..
the coltrol box would get hot, and the bike would quit,
the 2000 610 i have doesnt have a external control box..my 96 350 did.
both were Ducati, the early ones had a natural flywheel, later had a dark grey flywheel.
 
The 95 ducati ignitions had a tech bulliten on them for insufficient grounding. The CDI box was mounted to the steering stem and grounded to the same. The ground had to go through the steering bearings and grease, not very consistent as you are riding and turning the handlebars. The simple update was to simply run a jumper wire from the CDI ground on the steering stem to the frame. The 95s were very hard to start because of this. Just thought you would like to know.
 
thanks..
i got that same info back then, they also told me to vent the fairing,,{headlight} so that air could cool the box...
still to this day, it has a vent cut above the headlight bulb..
