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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What was the last thing you destroyed on your 610/630?

Since I got the bike in May I've gone through...

1 Left hand rad
1 Right hand footpeg hanger (and lost a nice Ti peg in the process :( )
1 Nav-tower
1 Right hand hand-guard
1 rear brake lever
1 speedo cable
2 headlights (I've since fabricated a nice polycarbonate shield)
1 set of left hand tank plastics
2 temp sensors
1 MAQS sensor
1 tail light
1 right hand fork leg protector
1 exhaust end can (the spare that's on is a bit loud! must fix that for next season)
 
The last thing I destroyed on my 630 was the best thing there was about the bike: the almost immediate quick start whenever I pressed the button. I took the bike for its annual service and when I got it back, I had to keep my finger on the button till I almost expected the battery to pack in. Pulling the start lever was no help. And it´s been like that ever since. Eventually it starts to pop a few times and then I can get it running. Just don´t know what they´ve done to it.

Quite frankly I wouldn't be giving much thought to what they've done to it. I'd go back there with it and politely tell them it wasn't this way before you had them work with it and that you fully expect them to get it sorted. Just be clear w/ them that it's not your problem, it's theirs.
 
Think I´v e found it. They´d played around with the JD Tuner and re-set the lower (yellow/blue) buttons. If it´s not that, I´ll take it back. It runs ok. Just won´t start.
 
The JD tuner has nothing to do with starting. The tuner only kicks in after the bikes been running for 5 sec.
 
Yes ... have just found that out. So don´t know what they did. Apart from the lengthy starting process, it takes a short split second to get on the power again after I turn the power back ... especially when going faster (as if it weren´t getting fuel for a second). `Tis a bugger and I´ll have to make an appointment to take it back.
 
Check the enricher cable were it turns in to the throttle body. Mine got pulled out once and wasn't running right
 
First I busted my kickstand in half, and no I wasn't using it to mount the bike. I went to my wife's family's house for Christmas and went outside for fresh air to see my bike on the ground, kickstand hanging by a thread. And I guess because of the fall my speedo cable quit working. Other than that nothing much has gone wrong with my 610.
 
My left passenger peg bracket sheared off at the upper mounting bolt hole. I use them frequently for standing on long rides. Last ride I stood up and crunch it gave way. Zip tied it to my kickstand so it wouldn't dangle and finished the day's ride by leaning the bike against trees when I dismounted. I plan to weld the brackets up stronger than stock and continue using them in this manner. Much more comfortable for standing at high speed than using the rider pegs.

My speedo.
First time i have left the bike sitting outside in heavy rain.Next day the display doesn't read right.
Pulled it apart and a small amount of water inside.Dried and put back together you still can't read it.Looks like a trailtech will be on order

Trails, wet rocks, street tires... it was graceful and the bike is fine. Thought it was just a bad sprain, this was on July first, no such luck...
 


Rear tube. 3rd gear pinned on the rear wheel into a square edge "baby head" sized rock / It jumped out of nowhere right in front of me. Was at @ 25psi attempting to avoid pinch flats. 180 mile day in the VA / WVA Mountains @ 90% off road.
