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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Stalling, hard to start: '09 TE610

Hi all,

I'm not sure where to start on this recent issue: 09 TE610, about 8k miles.

- Deceleration, began stalling instead of returning to idle. I could open the throttle slightly to prevent it, but it's been getting progressively worse.

- Hard to start cold. Never had any issues before, but recently it was difficult to start cold. Almost ran down the battery last time trying to get it to fire up.

I haven't touched the Idle adjustment before, and searched around for TPS adjustment.

Is this a good place to start? I don't have iBeat or a cable. Can you adjust TPS with a meter and sewing pins like on BMWs?

It's only been 3k miles since last valve adjustment. I'm checking it again just to be safe.

Spark plug is new, shows spark.

No fuel leaks or air leaks detected.

Any advice where to begin is appreciated!

Thanks,
Sasha
 
Thanks Raaron12, good things to look at. How do I check clutch washers? I had 'the fix' done to my clutch basket 4k miles ago, never had an issue.

So far I've:

- Adjusted idle screw to ~ 1700
- Adjusted valves (2 were somewhat tight)
- Replaced plug
- Checked airbox boot for proper fit
- New gas
- Cam chain adjuster 4 clicks out

I think the idle adjustment helped, but it's still flaming out on deacceleration and terribly hard to start cold. Once it's warm it now starts perfectly, but when it's stone-cold it takes nearly an entire battery charge.

I can hear the pump working, giving it throttle will change the pitch and I can smell vapors. Tried both with decomp and without. Idle and with throttle.

This never used to be the case, it was always a quick starting bike even in the snow. I'm not sure what happened/changed.

Next I'm going to look at the following:

- Throttle push/pull cable adjustment & proper routing
- Reset TPS (finally got iBeat and cable ready)
- Check spark plug cable for proper connection

It's strange that this issue only occurs the bike when dead-cold. runs great otherwise.

Thanks,
Sasha
 
Thanks Caboose, I hadn't thought of that. After reading through some other threads it seems a common problem, easy fix too! I'll order one just to be safe & update this thread with results. Thanks!
 
Well wouldn't you know, it was the temp sensor! Thanks so much Caboose! Took 3 minutes to change and the bike started up instantly before I could take my finger off the start button.

Case closed!
 
I have had the same issues on both my 2009 610TE Hussies
After replacing the first TP sensor on the one I decided to carry a spare TP Sensor with me now days. Just makes life so much easier.
