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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Manual Decompression lever on te450?

AA Class
Working on my 2005 TE 450.
Manual decompression lever (@ engine block) is binding a bit. Little metal locator dowell that holds it in place is slightly mushroomed at one end. Spring appears to work properly.

I'm wondering if it is possiable to remove the decompression arm for an inspection/grease/deburr/ wothout disturbing the exhaust cam ???

Any other ideas as to why it would be binding slightly? Spring returns the arm part of the way but reaches the end of it's travel and subsiquently the arm kind of binds up before reaching it's bottoming point.

Many thanks,
Bugs
 
I would have posted but I dont know if the 2005 and 2010 are similar, I do know that your bike and mine dont use the same clutch plates or starter motors. Glad you got it fixed.
