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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Could use some help about what to remove for 2006 TE610 valve adjustment. Everything. both radiators, etc. Appreciate any help offered. My first time.

Thanks
 
I do it without draining the coolant or removing the radiators, but it's tight. I think I did remove the coolant overflow bottle, but I can't remember.

My best time is 45 minutes from start to finish, inclusive. It's really not a bad job, just a bit intimidating.
 
I take it nice and easy, give myself plenty of time and dont rush.
I take both radiators off and the coolant reservoir, i dont know how i would get the reservoir out without taking both radiators off.
That gives me more room to work and do the job properly.
 
I go halfway; removing the RH radiator so that I can remove the coolant tank. I only disconnect the bottom radiator hose, and use a bungee to suspend the radiator from the handlebar to keep it out of the way.
 
I should say that I think I unbolt the radiators and shove them forward to gain some space, but I do not drain them.

However, draining the coolant and removing the hoses isn't too hard, and it does help gain a bit of extra space, which is nice the first time you do this job.
 
I just did this. I drained the radiators and just removed them. It looks intimidating, but once you get in there, really, there isn't much to it...and when you are done, you'll really understand how the hoses are supposed to route, etc. I even took the opportunity to replace some of the factory hose clamps with nice stainless steel hose clamps.
 
Yeah it may look intimidating but really it's a piece of cake. Rmove air filter, Remove gas tank and tank cover as a unit. That should take all of 5 min. Then drain and remove the radiators and coolant bottle, probably anot fifteen mins. into it at that point. Now you reasonably good access to the valve covers.
By the time you make the valve adjustments and put everything back together you wont have much over an hr. into the whole job which might seem like a bit of time for normal valve adjustment but seeing a how they rarely ever move after the first adjustment then it's time well spent.
