Anybody done the 650 mile check up on their 2010 te510 themselves? Local dealer wants $325 to do it, and I'd rather kill an afternoon, save the money and do myself. I've done vales etc,.. on cars but never a bike. I assume it isn't much different, but wanted to see if anyone had some key pointers of surprises I may find. Also, does anyone have the specs for the valve gaping? I lost my pdf that came with the bike that had that info.

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 am a motorcycle mechanic
I would do it my self if I were you
save your clams for other parts you want
There is not that much to it by doing it your self it will put
you more in touch with your bike, like a zen thing
I've got over 3000 miles on mine and the valves are still in,
Besides you should be doing this every 500 miles. Go for it
But you still want to check the valves.
