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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hate to make this my first post:
Bought a 2008 TE610 last week. It was a tad neglected and dirty, and had an oil leak on front of engine, but it ran perfectly and started cold and hot with zero issue.

Got it home, started to clean it and getting ready to diagnose engine oil leak, and after washing with hose and lots of water: NO start.
Plug area seemed really wet, so took plug out, it was soaked with water, and found the front valve adjustment cover needed a new gasket. Ordered the gasket, put it all back together today and same symptoms. Cranks great, no start.Sounded like it was gonna start at first, It did give a backfire or two, but back to square one.

It must have dried out by now. Took tank off again to check all connections (only one electrical connection gets disconnected, right). Fuel lines were full.

Picking up new Iridium plug tomorrow, but any help would be appreciated!
 
Yes, one plug going to tank.

These bikes are known to get water in the throttle position sensor plug or even the TPS itself. The coolant temp sensors also crap out and act like your symptoms. Maybe water in the temp sensor plug?

Good luck!
