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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anyone removed the left side engine cover on a te630

I need to remove the LT side cover so I can repair or replace it.. There is a second casting that is fastened by the same bolts..It looks like it hold the starter motor.. Is this straight forward ? looking for any advice or tips please..Thanks.
 
The outer cover comes off by itself, just be carful of the wiring that goes into it. Inner cover and starter will stay on the bike, no worries. Takes a little fooling around to get it to break free, be carful not to tear the gasket so you can reuse it. That's the way the 610 is, yours should be the same. Make sure to keep track of the bolts!!! They're all different lengths.....
 
Thanks.. figured but wanted to make sure I didn't open up a can of worms.. Is the magnet on the magneto holding it as well??
 
Yes...... and while it's apart, clean the magnets the best you can, they can pick up a lot metal from the oil and short the impulse sensor over time.
 
Done.. I had to give the cover a bit of a whack on the backside of one of the 3"tabs" and it started to move..
I have cleaned it all up and have found the small dent/crack from impact...I am debating whether to JB weld for temp repair or take it right apart and have it welded up.. The damage is on the outer edge of the cover so there is alot of clearance for the magneto etc..Any thoughts on that.. Any idea how much for the cover?
Thanks again for the info..
I am getting to know my new bike rather well..
 
Just curious...how did you crack it? Glad to hear you're making progress. If pressed for an opinion I'd say go ahead and have it welded or replace rather than the JB. I know JB works well often, but if you're anything like me it'll gnaw at the back of your mind wondering how long it'll hold up.
 
Hit it going up a rocky climb.. Waiting for my Hyde Skidplate.. Knew damn well I shouldn't attemt the climb without the skid plate but did anyways..
I will post pictures later.. for anyone that cares.
