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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Seeing oil around the spark plug area, wondering what the most likely cause is before ripping it apart? Any thoughts? I presume its a gasket that needs replacing, but not sure which one... TE610 2008.

Mine did the same but not that bad

It's the inspection covers over the valve tappets above the exhaust.

There is no gasket...just use silicone.

Check your valves while you are at it.
 
oil is probably leaking around the bolt threads that hold the valve covers on, i used some indian head gasket shellac on the threads, sealed it right up. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks so much for the replies! Puts me at ease a bit. For now I'll clean up the mess and top-up. I'm due for a valve inspection soon...

It's the only thing I hate about this bike.

It's a greasy oily Italian.

When I bought the bike, the first valve check I did, I had to scrape off the oily dirty mess covering the entire front half of the cylinder head with a screwdriver.
