Starting over the summer (out of warranty) the 610 just cranks and cranks before it fires. WILL NOT start using the cold start/choke lever. I have to leave that off and keep cranking until it blubbers to life. Once running it won't rev-up quickly. Again choke lever doesn't help. Although it does shoot some gnarly flames out the exhaust if I do use it. Once the bike warms up it runs fine. I checked the valves per Tasky's possible cause of the problem. I could give up and take it to them but where is the fun in that??? 08 TE 610 w/Leo Vince (dealer installed). Approx 1700 miles.
Temperature sensor? If you have access to Ibeat plug it in and see if any faults show and also watch to see if the sensor reading increases in a linear manner as bike warms up. Dave
I don't have access to Ibeat. I suppose that's a dealer thing. The temp sensor is an interesting theory. I've noticed that once the bike starts the rad. fan runs non-stop.
Just throwing a wild idea out there. I know in my Jeep with injected engine, if I have the check engine indicator come on, it goes into limp home mode & the fans turn on running nonstop. Could the Husky have the same limp home mode setup & you have an indicator out? A quick scan could save you lot's of headaches. Wish you luck.
There's a few people on here with Ibeat as well as dealers. If the fan is running all the time then it does sound very much like the temp sensor. The bike won't fuel correctly if the sensor is u/s. You need access to Ibeat or to take the bike to a dealer with Ibeat. It will save you a lot of time... Dave
I just had pretty much the same symptoms you described on my TE450; very hard to start, won't fire at all with the cold start on, once running the engine seems fine but the fan runs immediately. Mine also turned out to be caused by the temp sensor which Husky Sport have just replaced for me. My bike is powered up and iBeat also showed that the blanking plug which fits in place of the O2 sensor was bad so they replaced that at the same time. Starts up fine now!
Doh Just posted a new thread on the same subject Doh. Where is the temp sensor at? Thanks in advance. Is it item number 34?
UPDATE: My 610 is showing the same symptoms as before. I have ordered another sensor from Hall's. Apparently they are on back order !
