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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have 35k km on my TE610. Pulled the piston last night to put on fresh rings (it started to burn oil pretty bad at the end of last season). Check out the play of the big-end bearing on my connecting rod:

Is this pretty much done? I was hoping to not have to split the cases, but if that play is excessive than I may as well do it now.

Thanks.
 
I think there are measurement specifications in the shop manual for use to determine if it is worn beyond specified tolerance levels and requiring replacement.
 
The rod is supposed to have side to side play, it is the up and down play that is crucial. Does it have any ? Fast one is correct the service manual will give you specs for replacement. I think I might do it while in there if your bike has 35K miles.

There is no discernible radial play on the bearing, only axial. I'll dig up the specs and check it.

thanks.
 
For the 2006 the specs are:

Radial Clearance: Std: .26-.36 mm (0.00102 - 0.00141 in.) Limit: 0.080 mm (0.00315 in.)
Axial Clearance: Std: 0.50 - 0.70 mm (0.0197 - 0.0275 in.) Limit: 0.080 mm (0.00315 in.)
