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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE-510 Starter problems. Can starter and related parts be tested?

I have a 2006 TE-510 and last time i road the bike about 4 months ago i had a electric start problem. Half way through the ride it started having a harder time during the motor over with the electric start. It was getting worse at a linear rate. I was thinking it was a charging problem and that the battery was getting weak. All the connections are good and the battery is good. I took the starter apart and everything seems fine. The brushes are good ect ect. Nothing much else to check in the starter. At this point the start doesnt start the bike. It gets stuck on a compression struck or barely has enough power to turn over. I can however start the bike with one kick with sneakers and the bike runs fing awesome. Plenty of over, valves are good. So now i'm thinking i should pull the clutch side cover and pull the starter clutch and strag clutch or free wheel as some people call it. Can i send the starter, starter clutch, and free wheel to someone to have them check the parts over to see if they are good? Is there something i can do to check the parts myself?
 
Have you load tested the battery? A weak battery can be too weak to crank over but still possibly provide enough juice to pressurize the fuel system. Then you kick the bike and the stator takes over with the battery acting as a big heavy capacitor.
 
I didnt have it load tested but i'm showing just over 12.5 volts and i even put a battery charger on it and had it on the 40amp setting and it didnt make a bit a of difference.
Here is another thing i forgot to mention...the starter sometimes free spins but it will always catch again. One time i went to kick start it after trying to start it and while kicking it over the first time it turned the electric start over at the same time. The kicker always engages.
