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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

New TE 630 owner - filter cleaning question

Hi All,
I bought a te 630 with 2000 miles on it and changed the oil and filter, following the online shop manual.
Two issues came up with cleaning the filters on the left side of the engine:
1) It seems that the orientation of the filter #9 is reversed in the diagram on page D12. I put it back the way I thought it should go.
2) Filter #10 was extremely difficult to remove. It seemed like its diameter was larger than the opening I had to pull it out of. I ended up getting a hold on it with some needle nose pliers, bending in the mesh a little, and twisting it out. I reshaped it and barely managed to get it back in there after cleaning it. Is this a common experience? In the "15 minute Husky oil change" video I watched, this screen just slid right out. Could mine be the wrong size?
Anyway, the bike is shifting a lot better after the oil change and going into neutral much easier than it was before.
Thanks!
Jonathan
 
Here you go- we've been through this (on filter tube orientation):

Now on needle-nosing it out...dunno...probably didn't need to do that. Yes- it's very tight (like O.D. Of outer screen is close to equaling the I.D. of opening) but, what works for me, is to stick a finger snugly in the tube and gently jiggle until the end of the tube clears the opening and comes out. Takes a little jiggling but it should clear fine, but it is annoying.
