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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Valve Check With Engine Still In Bike?

Hi
Is it possible to check valves on Terra 650 when the motor is still in place or do I have to get it out of the bike?
In the work shop manual it is on the bench.
Hell lot of extra job!
 
yes, engine can remain in the frame. Take the exhaust cans off and tilt the subframe down to lift the front of the tank. Then you can remove the airbox. Cover the ECU so you don't accidentally short it to the battery.There's a hidden bolt on the bottom right side of the airbox that needs to be removed. Be careful to not break the studs on the airbox for the drain tube and engine vent hose. Don't pinch any cables when you move the subframe.
 
Thanks CarstenB
I managed to remove the red valve cover by sliding it backwards.
I will now continue and even remove the cylinder top.
Would you say that this is also possible with motor in the bike?
