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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

310 Difficult To Start

My 09 TE310 had been sitting for about a week and did not want to start. I actually ran the battery down once. Charged it and eventually got it going. Runs fine and starts fine after that. Has done this once before. Normally starts fine unless it sits for awhile. Any thoughts??
 
Sounds like it either has something draining the battery ( a draw ) after you turn it off or maybe the battery is getting weak.
 
I guess my post wasn't clear. No problem with the battery. It ran down because I turned over the engine so many times. Seems to be a fuel problem. Almost like my lawnmower that I have to prime to get it running first thing in the spring. Maybe it is the fuel pump, but it runs fine and starts fine unless it sits for a prolonged period, although a week is not really that long.
 
How old is the fuel. It can loose its oomph in short time, especially in the heat.
 
my opinion on fuel stabilizer: good for steel tanks, which will rust if left empty.
For a bike with a plastic tank, you're better off to just drain all the fuel out if it will be sitting for a while, then start with fresh stuff when you're ready to ride.

I always drained the float bowl on carbed bikes, what about this new-fangled FI bike ?
 
Nope. Also the only fuel injected bike I've owned that puked gas out of the fuel pump when you disconnect the line from it. It is impossible to remove the tank without making a mess plus that 90 degree plastic elbow just feels like its going to break when you're pulling the hose off it.
