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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE610 2008, TAT preparation valve adjustment

Appreciate answers from those who have adjusted valves on the TE610 MORE THAN ONCE.

Bike has 3,000 miles on the ODO.

Just going through the bike in preparation for the TAT in two weeks, besides a few bolts missing here and there, I really can't find anything wrong. Timing chain tensioner is at 5 clicks.

I adjusted the valves on this bike at 600 miles and really don't feel like the work involved to strip down towards where I can get to them this time around. For those who have done this a few times, did you see much change in 3,000 miles after adjustment? Also, do I really have to replace the spark plug again?
 
I did the first adjustment at about 500 and then checked them again at around 3000 and they hadn't moved. Of course every bike is different so if it's feeling like it might be lacking some of the power that it used to then it's probably time. If you have a irridium or platinum plug it's likely still good for many more miles.

Thx Rajo
 
Rule of thumb, if you do not ride her hard and she fires up fairly quickly they usually pretty right to go
 
While I agree mine also had not moved much on the 2nd adjustment, do you wanna have to try and do it on the trail? Every bike is gonna be different and a little extra time spent doing the prep goes a long way to making sure you have less to deal with later.

Thx, after the TAT I will be about 500 miles over the service recommendation, so should be no biggie. Bike is being prepaired and really don't understand why some complain about these, everything still looks new and in perfect condition. Some common sense things not in the service manual, make sure the counter sprocket is removed, cleaned and re-assembled with high pressure grease at least every 500 miles and don't adjust the chain as in the manual, or per drawing on the swingarm.:eek:
