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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

bike sounds like I am chasing a jar of change

I will call today about the factory warranty, I will also try to capture the sound on my gopro today and post it up. You are right that it is just business and if it helps someone else not have to go through this then it is worth it. But, I will call the dealership and see how they handle this issue. If I continue to get jerked around, I will post up what shop it is. If they handle this properly then I will save them face.
 
Loose heat shields on the pipe will make a similar sound. But yours sounds like it might be louder. Check you oil filters for any debris then go over the running engine using a large screwdriver to listen with. Cam.
 
you are correct it is 12 months on the 630. Although they may try to deny due to PC5, exhaust and power up.

Warranty


Model Year 2012 - Motorcycle Warranty

All non-modified 599cc and under 4-stroke Enduro and Supermoto models come with a six-month/unlimited mileage warranty against manufacturing defects and workmanship that covers parts and labor. This includes the TE250 / 310 / 449 / 511 and SM449 / 511 models.

All non-modified 600cc+ displacement Enduro and Supermoto models come with a one-year/unlimited mileage warranty against manufacturing defects and workmanship that covers parts and labor. This includes both the TE630 and SMS630 models.

All other Husqvarna motorcycles are sold as off-road competition racing bikes. Due to the extreme demands and severe conditions these machines are subject to, no comprehensive warranty can be offered. A limited 30-day warranty is offered on all bikes against manufacturing defects and workmanship. This warranty covers parts only. Includes: All Motocross, Cross-Country and 2-stroke Enduro models: CR150; TC250 / 449; TXC250 / 310 / 449 / 511; WR150 / 250 / 300.
 
Well I will give the warranty a try, but not sure if they will cover it due to the modifications. But worth a shot. On a brighter note I just found out I live about 20 minutes away from Uptight Husky which I have heard great things about.
 
Sounds like a plan! Whatever he comes up with as the problem and the solution I will post it so others can be led in the right direction. Thanks everyone for your input.
 
The dealer I purchased several Husqvarnas from would submit any defects/problems to Husqvarna for warranty coverage that were not
a direct result of the mods. I would assume most dealers that treat their customers properly would do the same.
 
Well, after my laundry list of things I looked at on the bike today (thanks everyone for pointing me in some sort of heading), I have cured the noise. Throttle side bar clamp bolt to the top of the triple was loose, so I tightened that up, adjusted the chain (not much needed), took off the carbon heat shield on the pipe (replaced after test ride with new grommets), greased all the parts that I could. Adjusted the head light. Checked every nut and bolt on the bike once again. The sound has now vanished****************************************! I did however notice the lower chain guide was tweaked just a bit and was wearing on the inside much more so I bent that back into place. So my guess would have to be it was a chain issue rubbing up against the guide, why it sounded like it came from the front is the real kicker. I wear an Arai xd3 helmet, if you know this helmet it has a very large open chin bar on it. So the sound came in from the back and was reflected back to me off the visor. I noticed this all when I took a different helmet out for a test ride and could actually hear the back chirping instead of the front. I feel like a complete idiot:applause:, but I just got back from another test ride and the noise is gone. So the real question is, who wants to go ride****************************************
 
As long as you didn't overtighten your chain, Husky's run loose. Did you make sure you still had some slack with the suspension compressed? Too tight can stretch the chain and wear out the guide quicker, and could even have kicked it back. I'm sure you know what you're doing, though ;)

Lots of times it is the simple stuff, glad you did not bash the dealer. :D

+1000 huskies really likem loose... since George is so clise to you you really should swing by and meet him..its a pretty amazing gift for a husky owner to have such a guru in your backyard... I swing by at EVERY opportunity and Im 3000 miles away... hes a great old school no BS racer and wrencher...
 
Chain has about 2 and a half finger play. Is that to little or to much. Didn't know they run loose so thanks for the heads up. I'm going to take it to George still and have him give it a good once over. Rode to work today and I didn't hear any unnatural noises which made me pretty happy. But when I get home today I am going to adjust the clutch. It let's out right off the knuckles (not much give, kind of an all or nothing clutch). But other than that all is good! Side note anyone know of a good powder coat shop. Want to get the rims/hubs/spokes done.
 
My favorite chain trick with a new bike is to compress the suspention and line up the CS, pivot and axle with a stick. That is the point of max tightness. Adjust your chain to have a bit of slack at that point then uncompress. THe trick is to MARK your bike somewhere to show the chain slack. I typically file a groove in the plastic chainguard or other. Then you are set for the life of the bike. Glad your noise wasnt and expensive noise. Cam.

Do yourself a favor and chop that thing off...
I've always preferred 2-finger clutch levers.

There was a recall on the clutch push rod. If you have difficulty finding neutral at a stop you most likely require the replacement. My girlffriend's SM630 was an early production model and shifted entirely different than my TE630. After replacement of the clutch push rod everything was fine.
 
I have a hard time with neutral, have to go from second down to it. I'll get that looked at. The levers are going to be on my to do list for this weekend, got to cut them down and add two finger dips in them.

I notched mine on the mill. I didn't cut down my brake lever, even though I usually just use two fingers. I've got it set so it doesn't touch my knuckles, and I didn't see a reason to chop the rest off, other than the ball end for handguard clearance.
