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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

te630 hard starting in all weather

ok.

I was trying to find out what tools and shit id need prior to tearing into it. Asking questions because I have never done it. Etc. Whatever...

I'm taking it to toy tech tomorrow because of the neutral light flashing at me. 4 hour drive to get someone with ibeat! yay!
 
Barron.........., I read the thread, May I suggest a few things ? Firstly, these are great bikes, don't lose faith. All bikes have faults, just choose which ones you can live with, then get on and enjoy it. From memory, previous reading on this forum tells me the TE630 valves wear very little and become "loose" , not tight, so unless the valves were previously adjusted incorrectly, loss of compression due to valves not having enough clearance is not likely to be your problem. This accords with my own 630 experience. How old is the fuel in your tank? Stale fuel will make it hard to start. I recommend you use 98 octane, or minimum 95. At the top right of the Cafehusky home page is a search box. It is your friend. For your next search, try " TE630 temp sensor check" Maybe the answer you seek is there. Learn and understand her and she will repay you with :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)!!
 
Sell it. I think you need a certain type of bike, and something like a WRR will be a lot closer to that.

If the bike motivates you to drop a whole bunch of f-bombs in a thread, it's time for it to go.
 
Got it back saturday. Temp sensor was culprit. Said it was basically reading the engine as being overheated so it was going into a limp mode. Starts up quick now.

re dropping f bombs: deal with it.

Glad you're up and running. Now I don't normally chime in on things like this but man, I gotta say, I think many of us are confused or just put off by your attitude. It's a bit puzzling...people here have been trying to help you- sharing experience/expertise and providing you with cost-free advice on how to attack things. Along the way some have pointed out some issues but those were warranted and understandable, and again towards the end of actually making sense of all of this to actually help you.
