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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

SMS 630 Tank removal

Yes. You can even pull it without removing the shrouds. Just turn off both petcocks, unhook the fuel crossover line and drain/vent hoses in the front, pull the bolt at the neck and the two behind the "630" badges that go into the radiator mounts, then two more bolts at the rear of the shrouds that go into the frame. Tip it up and unhook the fuel line and pump connector and that's it. This is how I do it since I have a couple inserts in the tank that spin, so I just pull it with the shrouds still attached.
 
Good info (about not having to remove the shrouds). Remember to make double sure that the fuel line is properly connected (snaps on tight). If you don´t, it´ll come off (like mine did in a motorway tunnel). :eek:

My TE doesn't have those. Typo or unique to the SM?

I prefer disconnecting my fuel pump line at the throttle body side. That connector at the fuel pump just doesn't agree with me for some reason. The other end has a big fat button for my fat fingers.
 
Thanks guys job done.i noticed though the idle was high after, 2900 rpm so went to adjuster under airbox but didnt bring it down,but remember mechainic saying where i had bought it from they had adjusted start lever on adjuster at lever end.I slackened it off and down the rpm came.But still think i can some more yet.How much free play is there?.Once i have set it there i can then increase it properly at idle screw adjuster under airbox.Seems much better now.
 
The bolts i'm talking about go through the shrouds on each side, not the tank. I pull them and leave the shrouds on the tank when i pull it.

ETA: I could be crazy, maybe they go through the shrouds into the tank...have to look...

I disconnect the fuel pump hose on the throttle body side.

I have real problem "Disconnect the hose (13) from the pump (12). Where the hell is the ring (14)?

May be I should try disconnecting the hose from the throttle body side - as jtemple did.

The ring is surrounding that plastic elbow where the hose enters the fuel pump. Press the ring down (toward the fuel pump, I believe) to release the hose.

At the throttle body side of the line, there's a big button you press with your thumb (press HARD), to release the line.

The reason I do it on the throttle body side is because I about broke that plastic ring by pulling it away from the fuel pump. Press "down" is a relative term that doesn't really make sense based on the orientation of everything.
 
I believe the correct translation is squeeze the ring together then pull the line, the auto industry has been using these for a while now.
 
As mentioned previously, I found it very easy to miss the "click" when re-inserting the coupling. It then came off in a motorway tunnel. Was lucky that the Berlin police were so helpful in extracting me and the bike.

The line is so tough to connect/disconnect on the throttle body side, there's no missing it. It is also more fat-finger friendly, since it's just a giant button to mash. No button mashing is required to reconnect it; it just clicks back into place.
