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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just got 7k valve adjustment and it won't run!

I picked up my Terra from the dealership last night after having fork seals done and the valve adjustment done because the wrench light turned on. I went for a short ride when I picked it up and everything was fine. This morning, I let the bike warm up for a good 10-15 minutes and when I stood it up off the kick stand, it stalled. Restarted it and went to go and it stalled again and this time the engine light came on. I parked it and will be contacting the dealership this afternoon. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice as the dealership doesn't seem very knowledgeable about TR650s.
 
Well, crisis averted. When the mechanic reassembled the bike he routed the wires and plugs from my EJK different and one of the plugs had come loose. It was good that I went back in because in the course of our conversation, I realized they didn't have much information about the TR650 at all. Like how to even check the oil. I let the bike run for 20 minutes or so until the fan came on and then checked it. Waaaaaayyyy too much oil! They got it sucked down to where it needed to be and I was on my way. For any issues in the future, I may try the BMW shop instead.
 
Wow, Glad to hear that your bike is fine..the post heading made my stomach sink. I tried the BMW dealer in SA and they would not even contemplate servicing my TR650...

All the best
George
