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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Living with a 2010 Husky TE 510!

Well I hope you get it worked out. I know how frustrating this can all be. You get so fed up you dont want to spend time on it anymore when it gets you no where. Id say follow bbcmat advise and put the bike totally stock and run through his list. These bikes arnt pieces of crap that have many problems. Every bike model will have its few bikes that run into problems. Ive seen guys on here with over 15k miles from his 06 te510 ( basicly same motor) with norm maintenace. I have around 2000k miles on mine with no problems.

Keep your head up kid ;) and try and work through it. If you do get to the point and give up, setup the bike stock before you take it in for easier inspections.
 
Ditch that 1 way valve on your gas tank and run straight hose. Those things can be a pos, not vent and pressurise your tank.
 
Bikes are just mechanical devices ... I call 'em can openers sometimes because they are just mechanical devices, same as a can opener and this helps keep it all simple ... Sometimes we get ~lost in them when having multiple issues and look past the real problem ... Going back to a base line sounds like a good idea ...

If you step back and look, most the issues you were having were mostly known or a ~derivative of a known issue ... we might have cloaked a known issue here in some manner or created something new ...
 
Maybe you've done this but I don't recall seeing it,replace the coolant temperature sensor.I've had all kinds of crazy stuff and finally did that and all seems to be ok since then.My bike exhibited the same symptoms,start run die when you give it gas wouldn't start,cooled down started right up when it got up to temperature and you stopped would die and not restart. just a thought not expensive either
 
Any update on this? My 510 recently did something similar and frankly I'm worried about taking this bike farther than I'm willing to push it!
 
top read.. i have a 09 510 with about 4000 hard ks on it now and havent had any problems at all bar fork seals and flat fronts oh and the rear shock early in its life... its all stock with the pu kit.. running strong and i have never had to kick it yet so i wont mod it and hopefully it will stay a good thing... good luck with it and hope you get it sorted.. cant help thinking that we are using you like a guinea pig in a lab.. lol.

This is what your dealership is going to see - a new bike that has been Frankensteined to the point where it won't run anymore.

Extremely good comments, Mat.

I'd suggest you get it as close as possible to stock, running clean, then make one change at a time in a controlled manner. It does not matter how smart your are; what does matter is the process you take towards two wheeled nirvana. Seek help as necessary. Good luck and report back what you learn.

"A new bike that has been Frankensteined. "

So a new headlight, an exhaust and a Power Commander Frankensteins the bike!?!?

;)
 
Didn't mean to dismiss you Mat, I was just being a smart ass since I had a good idea what the issue was (got a call from the service department).


Thanks to everyone for all the help and the ideas. I have to say that all the input was excellent and offered very rational and efficient trouble shooting procedures.

Got the bike back today and the problem was an intermittent electrical contact between the coil and the spark-plug wire.

I guess every time I pulled the plug and checked for spark or tested the coil the movement reinstated the contact making everything seem fine and run temporarily.
Once reassembled and ridden the bike vibrations or the position of the spark-plug wire broke the contact and killed the bike.

No wonder I could not find it and it drove me crazy. Hopefully this is the end of it. I have not had a chance to do a full test ride since it started raining right as I got home w/ the bike. (Note: It has not rained in 4-5 weeks!)

Now back to the regular scheduled programing.
 
Those intermittent problems are the worst. I know the hair pulling that results from it from my other hobbies. Hope that's it & ya happily ride off into the sunset :thumbsup: :cheers:
