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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Valve Clearance help

Hello again

Getting to know my 1999 610E SM by taking things apart and back together!
Have got starting issues and although she will start in the end, it is a long and painful process!
Will do a check list (spark plug, compression etc) but also want to check valve clearances.
Can't I just check the valves by taking off fuel tank or do I need to dismantle the cooling system as well?
Also I read somewhere that you need to drain the oil, surely this is not necessary???
I am sure there is a guide of how to somewhere on here (found the you tube vid for other bike), could someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks
Chris
 
Check your pilot jet first, easiest. It should have a perfect concentric circle when held up too light, no fuzzy.

I am not sure on the older models, but on the newer, it's unplug the hoses and bend things out of the way. You can hold things with a bungee cord or zipped zip tyes.
