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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

putting an 07 te610 engine in an 09 te610

A friend has a 09 te610 which he dusted the engine on a few years back (because the breather running into the back of the airbox was not pluggeed in ).

He had it professionally rebuilt and after a few rides (1000k or so ) the top end started getting noisey (Loose vales, we figured as expected after a rebuild). We took the head off and the the intake valves where way out of spec, we had to use nearly all the adjustment to get them close to spec.. it almost seemed like the rocker arm was bent or something was not right. Put it all back together and after a short ride it got really noisey again.

Anyway a busy life got in his way and the bike has sat collecting dust. Today I saw a sm610 07 motor came up on ebay and could make a good donor or parts source if he needs it.

So a few questions ..

Any ideas on why his valves keep coming loose ? (worn came lobes?)

How easy may it be to swap out his motor with the older carbed motor ?
 
Some people have experienced a excessive rocker shaft wear.
As far as the engine swap goes, the only issue I can think of is the wiring harness. There were I think some differences in connectors and of course the FI/TPS wiring.
 
Thanks mate that seems to be the issues, a bit of googling backs up with you say, he had a full rebuild done but maybe they did not swap out all the top end ? will look into it some more.. if he picks up this spare motor cheap it might be best to just keep for parts as opposed to swapping out with his ..
