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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Out of the blue my 610 decided not to start. At the same time my meter died, so I got impatient and tried to just jump to the starter positive, which gave me a big arc.

So think it was the starter, I decided to pull it, manual says pull it to test it & it says to pull the two bolts by the Negative lead, and I can move the starter to the rear about 1/8 inch but that's it. I can't rotate it or pull it further as it hits the right case.

So how do you pull it?

Further, Why do I even need to pull it to test it. The book says there should be continuity between the poles& there is so what do I gain by physically removing it except billing a customer hours

. So I'm thinking I should be able to reconnect it and try to power it. If it spins I have a short somewhere in the + cables to the relay, right? And if not it would be a dead short in the starter itself... which means what? Rewire or is there a diode or something in there?
 
So I broke down and called Bill @ BMP & he saved the day. Turns out you have to loosen the stator cover just a little to get a little play in there.

Long story short the starter is fine, the bike is fine, I'm a complete moron.
