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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

SMS630 GLOWING RED HEADER

Got the bike finally.

50 miles on it. PU kit installed on day one. Removed the maze from the airbox.

Went on a ride and noticed the exhaust was very hot but didnt pay attention. Came home and let it idle for 3-4 minutes and noticed the header pipe was GLOWING red.

Is this bad? What should I do?
 
Wanted to mention that I went for a ride right after (Less than a mile) and the red went away but it was still very warm. Lot of ticking when I got off.

NOOB NEED HELP!!
 
Does it crackle and pop on engine braking? May be too lean or wayyyy too rich.

Lots of extra ticking is bad, btw... what fuel are you using?
 
Stock cans make that bike run hot seems normal as mine did that with the stock cans too...throw another exhaust on should run cooler worked for me.
 
What is your RPM at idle? Did you idle it down after the PU kit was installed?
Make sure your cold-startup lever/cable isn't hung up, it'll make it idle ~3000rpm.
Idle should be ~1800rpm.

Also, Gardezy is right on the mufflers, the factory mufflers with cats will make the exhaust run hotter than a flow-through.
(mine doesn't have cats anymore....)
 
Its not unusual to see glowing headers on the twin cam engines if you leave them idling too long, not only the 630s but the older 450/510s too.
Probably best to turn the bike off after about 30/60 seconds rather than leaving it idling for a longer time.

Do yalls fans come on pretty often? My bike just feels so damn hot!

On a better note, Raped a 2010 M3 up to 60 or so today...wooot

Yeah raping sports cars is fun :thumbsup: There's a guy here in town with a white M3 that's too scared to take on the Husky but "races" every car under 150 hp at traffic lights :rolleyes:
 
I just washed my te511 dried it off and then warmed it up for 5min . I then turned it off and as i walked away i noticed the header pipe glowing red .
Is this normal ?
 
Yep. I've seen all four-strokes do that on idle, KTM, Yamaha, Husky. On a warm day probably not, mixture is enrichened a bit from less dense air. None of them really like a lot of idling.

Let's see, a TE is street legal, so a putt around the block is better than sitting with high idle or revving. That will also tend to blow out the remaining water from everything.
