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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2007 TC510 kickstarter problems

Hi guys, like the title says i just picked up a 2007 tc 510 and took it out for my first ride, it normally starts and runs with no problems. it cold started fine and then I took off on some trails and had to stop, I shut the bike off and when i went to re start the bike while it was hot it did not want to start, i tried kicking it over probably 20 times with no luck. thinking it was flooded i left it for a few minutes before trying to kick it over again, the bike kicked back hard (hurt like a SOB) once and after i got the feeling back in my foot it kicked over and started fairly easily after that. when i turned the kick starter in so that i could keep riding it started making a clicking sound. when the kick starter is out in the starting/kicking position it is fine, no noise and the bike will start no problem. then any time i either turn it in to ride it starts clicking again.

the engine itself is still running great, I am just very concerned (possibly a little paranoid) about doing engine damage to this bike. after this happened i rode the remaining mile or so out of the bush with the kick starter out and packed up the bike for the day....

anybody have any ideas? I dont think that its anything serious but i REALLY like this bike...its a gorgeous bike and i would hate to wreck it or do damage. how much work is it to pull the kick starter apart on these bikes? I have mostly just worked on 2 strokes before and with the limited parts availability of these bikes i dont want to get it apart and not have access to what i need for parts20130415_203805.jpg .
 
Have you looked at a parts diagram for the bike yet, there are some available on a thread in this 4st section.

The damage has already been done, you are gonna have to take the case off, if it is clicking, something inside got moved off of its perch and it hitting the spinning gear that it is not supposed to be hitting.
 
take clutch cover off and inspect.as said these bikes are prone to kickstarter related major damage as in broken inner cases!$ouch$!dan
