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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Well that's what I thought. I have a 2013 TE511 made all the upgrades and I love my bike well I just got my new supermoto wheel kit in now I can have the best of both worlds with one bike anyway put my wheels on went for a ride parked it for a while went to start it all that happened was solenoid click click hum Battery?, wiring?, starter? nope all checked out so I put it in 6th gear pushed back and forth with the clutch out to get the piston to move tried the start it again it fired up fine with the exception of and grinding noise but it stopped almost instantly and I went merrily on my ride today I go to start it again starter was very sluggish and would not start hooked up jumper cables it started then cut off I went to start it again and the starter just spun but not engaged took off the starter it was fine opened the side cover up OH NO the 6 bolts that bolt the flywheel to the freewheel had came loose and ground the stator and the inside of the flywheel to bits now I'm buying a stator/flywheel ass. 450.00, freewheel ass. 175.00, flywheel puller and insert 150.00
I guess I'm just sharing this experience because it is easy to check your flywheel bolts but expensive to fix when it goes wrong has this happened to anyone else?
 
Not me yet... also a '13 511. Even with upgrades, seems like the dealer should try a warranty claim on it.
 
I do agree I can't imagine it being anything I did but it is out of warranty and I have made a lot of upgrades as well so I don't expect a lot of support.
 
Ouch**************************************** That sucks man. First i have ever seen / heard off.
 
I think I remember reading that was an issue in the 610 bikes. I feel pretty confident in the collective experience in this forum on the 449/511. Thanks for being here guys.
 
Just an update, when I received my generator assembly it came with the one way bearing assemble bolted to it which is what came loose and caused my damage but I am telling you this because when I checked the bolts they where extremely tight and the had thread locker on them as well
 
One of the O rings in the starter housing on mine was displaced, a year after purchase I live in the desert, I think a wetter climate it would have failed much sooner. The brush assy seized from corrosion, no repair kit available so $$ for a new one. I live in the desert, I think a wetter climate it would have failed much sooner. Bummer on yours.
