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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Start problems 2000 te610e

Hi, new to forum and new to single sylinder bikes.
I´ve recently got myself a 2000 te610e, sm-rigged. I now have a problem starting it when its not warm... First start of the day a pain, and I have to use the nearest slope and roll and jump it to life. It starts instant and like a charm when its warm though...
The starter motor turns, the battery seems ok (not checked it though), and sometimes I aaalmost got it but then it farts and nothing. The choke lever is pulled all the way back and I give it a couple of twist on the throttle before attempting to start. There is no mechanical ratlle or anything coming from the engine, no valve-clicking and it is running strong through the revs whem warm

Anybody else with similar problems and ideas of what`s wrong?

Mine starts great in warmer (around 60F) weather when cold using the following procedure: choke full on, three twists of the throttle in about 5 sec., and NO throttle at all. It usually will start right up.

The problem I have is when the bike is warm, it takes a while to start (will ONLY start with closed throttle) or when it is about 40F or colder outside. I have been too lazy to dig into that as it is mostly warm, and I just got used to a longer no throttle hot starts. One time it was really cold out, and the only way it would start was by taking the cover of the air box off, and using my hand as a choke when starting!

Bike runs a bit lean when cruising at part throttle, but going to a one step hotter plug masks/cures the surging. Stock exhaust, twin flow filter.

Would love to hear about fixes. I was thinking of going to a bigger idle jet
