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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Stator cover off, clutch cover off... no what?

Just bought used '09 610TE w/ 7500mi. Rode one day and all seemed to work properly. However, I plan to keep for a couple years and many tens of thousands of miles. So it's in the garage being disassembled for the first, and hopefully last time this year.
Is there a TDC indicator other than the silly tool shown in the service manual? I want to adjust the valves.
Drained oil. There were some whiskers of steel on magnet, and found a sliver of alumium (looked like a piece of final thread from the original tapping operationin) otherwise ok.
1. How many and which "specialty tools" will I need to pull the flywheel to check cam chain?
2. How many and which specialty tools will I need to pull clutch basket and install these heavy spring washers the PO never installed?
3. Should I pull the head and check the cylinder for scoring? I don't plan to pull the engine until I overhaul it (hopefully around 25k).
4. Should I disassemble the rear suspension linkage, or just grease the zerk fittings?
5. Are the seals on rear susp linkage dual lip (You can "invert/ruin" dual lip seals by over greasing with grease gun).
6. Anyone know of a snorkle mod or other method of moving air intake higher?
7. Does anyone make a true two finger clutch lever, or one I can adjust "out" farther so I can keep pinkie and next finger under lever (on the bars)? I want full life out of the gear box so ALWAYS use clutch and it doesn't like "partial disengagement".

The biggest questions are 1, 2 and 5.

Thanks in advance,

Clint
