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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

HARD starting & fan runs all the time

My TE 630 has just started experiencing the HARD starting thing.
The bike turns over just fine, has 0W40 Lucas Motorcycle Synth in it and no warning lights.

The fan is running as soon as I get the bike bike fired up and idling; it's 0 degrees Celcius in my garage.

Do you think the temp sensor would be the culprit?
 
Yep, and that would explain the hard starting too, no cold-startup enrichment. Have you tried using the little "choke" (cold start) lever over the clutch?

Hard starting can be fuel pump not primming up to the required pressue.

Sounds like the temp sensor is broken and giving wrong feedback to the system. A friend with same bike SM 630 had the same problem, fan ran as soon as ignition was switched on, and the bike was hard to start when cold. As soon as he ( and I ) got the tempsensor replaced, everything was as it should be.
