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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

hi guys,
going to oil change the bike, prefer not to remove engine plate to get to sump plug. Can I successfully drain the bike by removing the oil line and banjo on the rhs of bike?.
 
That is the correct way to drain the oil. There will be screens inside of the the small cover the banjo bolt is screwed into.
 
husky-610,

You could but I would not make a habit of it, there is no way I would do it to my own motor.

The drain plug is in the lowest position to remove all the oil and particulates,

it has a magnet which large particles stick to, not removing the plug leaves these large particles in your motor and

they could come loose and cause damage.

By looking at the particles stuck to the magnet you may be able to diagnose future problems by the types of things

stuck to it i.e like a single ball bearing or parts of a bearing cage etc.

The drain plug is the largest out of the two plugs, the one closest to the where the oil pipe and filters are, the other plug

has the ball bearing and spring for the clutch drum detent.

Cheers, Dave.
 
I agree with DaveM that is how I change the oil on my 610 , no big hassle all that is required is to remove the sump guard ( 4 bolts ) . I have cut a hole in the sump guard to access the plug if I am not taking the guard off . Can get a bit messy how ever . Taking the sump guard off allows you to clean the grass and mud out that catches there and is difficult to hose out . My sump plug needs a 10 mm allen key tool to remove .
