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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

06 TE 510 battery issue's

06 TE 510 battery issue's.....
Well my 510 left me dead on the trail today.....
The battery just would crank anymore.....
I say anymore as, I stalled the bike like 10 time's
in about 15min..... so I'm pretty sure I just ran the battery dead....
I haven't been keeping it on a tender and was wondering if:

1) is this normal .....

2) do huskys stators have a low out/put and should I always have it on a tender....

3) does the 510 have a auto decomp. problem I need to be aware of....

4) or am I just a shit/head who can't ride or maintain his bike
:eek:
 
The TE's stators have a pretty high output, you might like to clean it at the next oil change. There is a thread in here somwhere for that.

If the restarting was prolonged each time then it is likely to draw a lot of power, the batteries do not seem to spin the engine over extremely fast.

A tender is a very good idea to keep the batterey in tip top shape

The last question is if this the original battery then its done a pretty good job, my 06 battery was replaced 18 months ago.

Just make sure your terminals are clean and the battery is attached to the leads correctly.
 
I have the same bike with original battery & had the same thing happen last year. I chalked it up to my less than stellar riding ability & going so slow on a tight trail that it never had a chance to fully recharge. When I had to use the kick starter a few times, I ended the trail riding day. It was fine after that.

P.S. my gearing was too tall for the tight slow trail & my idle set too low, so I don't blame the battery in any way. It started right up with an easy kick every time even being hot. Which is a godsend as I've got a weak right leg :thumbsup:
 
Thanks

Yea we couldn't kick it over at all..... so I'm wondering why it wouldn't start with the kick starter..... any ideas:excuseme:

did you try the HOT START button??? or the manual decomp lever???

I'm guessing that repeated starts after slow going flame outs, or drops do two things, 1- slowly drain the battery & 2- heat soak from the engine & exhaust close to the starter make it harder to turn over.
 
you have a YTX7 battery in there, no?

That is a 4 yr old battery on a big bore bike with high compression.

The huge battery on my '06 610 just died and it is twice the size of the 510 battery.

I'd look at a new battery.

I just bought a turn-tech for my '10 250
 
THANKS EVERYONE....
I was hoping there wasn't any other issue's, aside
from me running the battery dead and not keeping
it on a charger...... I'll be getting a new battery
and charger/tender.....

and Yes R-LITTLE it's a YTX7S that served me and my bike well

Yea we tired everything.....my friend got a quad and jumped me in
two min..... I just can't understand why it wouldn't kick over.....

was the battery that dead
problem with the decomp.

it did start with the kick starter once or twice and then .... you guessed it, I'd stall it again:eek:

If your battery gets weak on the trail you can do a combo:

Do quick kick while you are using the starter. I did this in Baja when I had a battery terminal issue resulting in a weak battery.

It would usually start in one kick.

cheers
