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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I'm a brand new owner of a 2008-2009 sm 610 ie, and here's the situation: Today I went out for a ride, without checking the engine oil level.
I drove aprox 30km with a few pauses, during them the engine had time to cool some.
Suddenly, as I was riding it, the engine died on me. At least that's what I think.
Then I started to crank it up, but I heard only a click, without the starter engaging. I repeated this move 3 times, still nothing.
Then the power went out, the instrument cluster had no activity, it showed me only a blue surface.
When I put it on contact, I didn't hear that "preparing" noise what you hear before the engine cranks up.
The I realised that engine oil is leaking from the right sided engine cover gasket (as you sit on the bike).
I pushed it home, I bleeded the engine oil, and I collected a quantity of only 0.3l, plus what I lost on the road while pushing it home.
As i saw it, the oil didn't look burned, it had the usual colour of red-orange-brown.
I noticed that the engine wasn't hot or overheated, the coolant wasn't hot, but warm, the radiator as well.
I paniced, so I filled it up with oil, but there was no change, it still didn't start.
Tomorrow I will try to crank the engine manually with a wrench by the flywheel, after I open up the side cover, only tu rule out the possibility of engine scuffing/jam.

1. Is there a sensor/switch which turns off the engine if the oil pressure/oil level is too low in order to prevent further damage?
2. Did I scuff/jam my engine?
3. How much oil does it require without filter change?
4. If it's not scuffed/jammed, then why do I have leaks in he cover gasket and why do I get a blue display when I want to start it up?

Help wanted! Any sugestions? Pls tell me it's not s cuffle****************************************!!
 
From you're description I would ay that it's more likely a charging system issue and that you ended up with a low battery. Check you're voltage at the bat when it's not running and if it needs it charge it up, then after you get it started check the bat voltage again it should be about 13.7V when running at a fast idle.
 
The battery is ok,i guess.It stareted the engine normaly.

I'm stil not sure of the oil problem. All of my friends say that the engine has cuffled.
The repair manul say that it takes 2 L of oil. I'we only colected 0,3+the lose on the way home.
Is there oil in the frame to?
