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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Te630 Low End Stuttering And Now Not Starting

Hi All,

My 2011 TE630 starting stuttering a couple of weeks ago, I thought it may have always been there(wasn't sure as doubt crept into my mind), however now the bike won't start. I just rode it 3 days ago, it had that low end hesitation, I went from 3 to 4 on the green on my JD tuner. Took it for a test ride and half way up the block the bike died. I tried to start it to no avail. I thought it may be a finally gone dead lithium battery. So I purchased a new one. But nope, bike just won't start. Just turns overs. Even if I spray starter fluid in the intake it just cranks. So what I haven't checked yet is 1) spark 2) compression. I will have to rule those out, but I have no idea how to test and see if it is the ECU. Any suggestions on the "checking process" would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
Ok, checked the spark and I do see spark, very black plug however. But I can't imagine that in and of itself would indicate a "no-start". One thing I am realizing is: "How do I adjust the JD tuner with the engine off so I can back out the idle and low end fuel mixture?". Any ideas are appreciated, I am feeling a bit stumped as I have fuel and I have spark.
 
So after replacing the spark plug and killing my battery. I finally got the bike to start. I got it to start by just "slightly" pulling the choke/fast start/cold start lever/enrichener lever(whatever you prefer to call it). I de-tuned my JD Tuner back to all stock settings(4 across the board) and figured I would begin anew. Once the bike warmed up, it starts no problem. I suppose it is time I checked the valves again. My last check was only 900 miles ago and I only have 2900 miles on the bike. Previous owner didn't really ride it. One item of note as I run through the previous owners notes on the bike is that he wrote down "Repair Auto Descompression(Hardstart)". I feel like this could be path for me as I notice the bike has a very hard time cranking over particularly when I pull that lever - it is as if the exhaust valve doesn't open - the engine practically stops during the starting process. This website seems to be a good way to keep a journal. LOL
 
Quick update: valve check as the logical next step and everything checked out. ER=.18 EL=.15 IR=.12 IL=.13 Before I took the tank off and check the valves I tried to start her up to no avail. Decided to pause for the night and will check on the Auto Decompression tomorrow. I gave it a quick wiggle this evening and noticed the decompression(cam) moved back and forth. However, I didn't rotate the engine and watch the valve. Time to hit the sack....
 
Just an update: I ended up taking it down to Motoxotica in Vacaville Ca. They confirmed what I suspected - the auto decompression cam. The bike once again runs fantastic.
