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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

510 engine disassembly?

Was wondering if anyone pulled the head on an 05-10 510 bikes? Can you pull the head and cylinder with the motor bolted to the frame? Or does it have to be removed?
 
I have pulled my head twice now, by removing the cylinder studs with a vise-grip. It's not recommended but I haven't had any problems, the procedure does generate some iron filings at each stud from the vise-grip grinding.

Mee also, but i was taking off those radiators+gas tank....Maybe some little things also, but if you take off that you can see what to take off
 
I'm a little confused. I've had the cams out and re-torqued the 4 studs. Those 4 studs don't just run through the head and cylinder down into the case? You can't just loosen the studs and slide them out vertically?

Here is my engine, in the frame, with the head off, and you can see, there are no cylinder studs in the pic, they were removed up throught the head.

Why do you need to use vise grips? The studs don't just get loosened from top with the Allen socket and pulled up and out?

The studs are lock-tited into the cases. When you spin the big allen head nuts off, the cylinder studs stay in the engine cases. The vise-grips are used to unscrew the studs from the cases. It's not a fun or easy process, but for me, it beats the hell out of pulling the engine from the frame.
 
Ah I see, Gotta replace my base gasket so ill see what route I wana take when I decide to do it. Thanks for the info and always looking out
 
Pulling the motor only takes maybe an hour and makes working on everything so much easier, I've pulled my 450 motor a few times now, it gets easier every time plus its a good time to lube the swingarm.
