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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Newbie 98 te 610 owner needs help!!

Hey guys,

nice to meet you all, and excited to be a part of this site.:thumbsup:

I just bought a 98 te610 and im just getting to know it.
my knowledge is very limited and I'm struggling to just do
routine maintenance on the thing.

The biggest problem im having is that my bike seems really different from the manual.
one big difference being that the kick start is on the left.

Im already running into problems on my first oil change.
I took both drain bolts out and a bearing came out of one?:eek:
and I cant seem to find where the oil filter is.

Maybe my bike is a different model?:excuseme:
I'm sure a lot of you guys are laughing at my questions, but its all good.
Ill take all the ridicule as long as I can get some good advice.:notworthy:

Here are some pics of my engine. Any help is hugely appreciated.

Well, it looks like a `98 to me, with maybe an aftermarket case cover...:excuseme: I'm sure someone with more knowledge of the older models will be able to help you out here:)

I have a 98 e-start.
I believe this is where the oil screen is but...
how do you get it out?:banghead:

Actually I wouldn’t worry about that
It’s not the style of this place at all, one of the perks of an adult populated site is that people concentrate more on helping each other and less on being smartass

Would love to help you but don’t know anything about your model :excuseme:
Hopefully you’ll get your answer soon enough

:cheers:
 
I know nothing about your earlier model, but here's a thread over at ADV rider that might be of some help.

There is no separate oil filter, just the pipe shape screens. You have to keep it clear when change the oil.
