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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

06 TE450 E-Start Trouble

C

COAL RUN

Husqvarna
A Class
The Starter on my 06 TE450 free wheels and does not turn the motor over about 80% of the time, I can put the bike in gear & rock it (backwards) then it sometimes engages. Kicking the bike over then hitting the e-start seems to have no effect. Any ideas what could cause this? I have had this bike for some time & this just started last weekend.. Thanks for any input
 
I haven't seen what the starter clutch looks like on a TE, but on most bikes, the strater clutch has a few one way cammed bearings (sometimes spring assisted) that grab a shaft in the engine. If the starter motor is spinning, then components of the starter clutch are getting worn out.

yea, I pulled the starter expecting this to be on the starter shaft but you have to pull the side cover to see how it all works, hoping someone will post up that has had this issue before so I have an idea what to look for. Thanks
