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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Picked up bike from Workshop , just to find out, that the starter wont Crank over.
Bike is in Warranty , but dealer was to busy to get going on it. ?!?
Bike got 2600km on the meter.
So i pulled the starter out, which wasn't really as easy as i thought.
You have to remove the Main Water hose from Water pump to Radiators.
then remove the 2 bolts which hold the starter in place. Then lift the starter out between Engine and Frame.
Without removing the Main T Water hose, there is no way or almost no way to get it out without removing the hose.
So i opened the starter and before i did that, i saw the 2 Rubber seals were squeezed out and couldn't properly Seal the unit any more.
As i pulled the end piece of , dirt and black crap came out of it. The Spoole was rusted and the Brushes were stuck in the Slide.
The Bike would only start with a tap on the starter..

I cleaned up Spool and Contact Surface with Scotch Brite. Cleaned inside aswel with Scotch brite.
Removed the two brushes and got them nice free moving again in the slides.starter1.jpgstarter2.jpgstarter3.jpgstarter4.jpg

The Genuine Rubber seals damaged and stretched, i needed s solution. I figured i take a 30mm diameter Oring and istall this one instead.

When you look at pictures, the O-ring Seals perfect. The starter itself is easy to open and Maintain.

So i installed it back on to the bike and all good.
 
Nice one. I might open mine up & give it a tidy up.
It's been underwater a few times crossing creeks...

Your repair might save a few guys a dollar or two as well!
 
yes I noticed mine the other day and since have now put silicon around the outer seals. see how that travels.
