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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What was the last thing you destroyed on your 610/630?

Oh, yeah, I do have one airbox insert that's spun, but I can still get the filter out easily enough. Same thing with one of the tank shroud bolts, but I just leave the shrouds on when I pull the tank.
 
Got the bike back.The steering bearings replaced under warranty bow to fix it so it won't happen again.
The old notched bearings got rid of the wobble at 110kph new bearings and its back but more fierce.
 
How tight is the steering stem nut, Will?
and also, what front tyre are you running? - i found that when i put an MT21 on the front i got speed wobble (at about 110km/h aswell), possibly due to the softer knobs

Haven't checked let the service department do it all.Will go over all the work done and check.Front tyre around 20psi ,it hasn't changed since the service. Prior to bearing swap i could do 130 and all was stable.
Setting it up for the simpson in a few months so will end up putting a damper on.
 
Glad to hear I am not the only one peppering the road with bolts. Locktite or not. Anyway, had a pretty quick get off during the LA-Barstow-Vegas ride. Turns out, I broke one of the subframe bolts and the other may have spun out. (08 TE610). Fortunately, this was towards the end of the ride. After cleaning it up, then I realized that the bolts on the left and right side were either busted off or just missing. Of course I went over every bolt prior to ride 3 times, but I guess this is just part of a thumpers life. Getting suspension work done now, so they are fixing that issue before they measure me for the bike. Pics to follow later, I gotta go to work.
 
Ok i can add a tps and maf sensor to the list.Don't know how they failed.The bike backfired and started shuddering and threw a code. Complete throttle body has to be replaced as parts aren't available individually .None in this country have to wait for them to come from the factory.Another one for warranty.Must be getting close to having this thing sorted.

What have you done to the bike to get it to backfire? :excuseme:

Wow, I think that's the first case of those sensors failing. You should start a new thread detailing the failure and repair results.

Just riding along at about 30kph small backfire then missing & surging ,so i guess this is where the fueling went wrong,the end was backfire and stall.It happened very quickly.It did start again but the neutral light was flashing.Interestingly it still ran but felt like it was running hot.At first the shop suggested it was caused by washing the bike with a high pressure cleaner as there was water on the throttle body.I do not wash with high pressure ,we all know how bad that is.The bike had no water on it when the problem occurred. I had rinsed the dust off for the shop guys after the incident.Probably will never know why it failed.The throttle body has to go back to the factory.The shop never really says the actual cause of the problem when its related to warranty.I am happy that they fix it and one day when the warranty is out i might find out what's going on.One other thing the shop did enlighten me about is the temp sender switch failures.They seem to think it is caused by water getting in.The connector does not do a very good job of keeping it out.Even the replacement sender will let a little in.
 
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm --- the only thing i destroyed on both my 610TE's and the 610SM i had --Is a REAR TYRE :)
 
The 630 has been a remarkably brakeage-free bike. Mine was one of the first and there have been NO major faults. It´s been used on a an every day basis for commuting and the only things I´ve broken have been when I came off.

Doh
Only pu kit.Everything stock until warranty runs out.I do have a piggyback ecu to go on which will make things run better.

Did your dealer tweak the fueling with I-beat and zero the throttle sensor when you put the PU kit on?
If not, you're running crazy lean...
 
Update on the tps issue.Complete new throttle body fitted.About $900 if you need to buy one.The bike starts up easily now. From new it would not start unless the enricher was pulled on.The dealer is concerned about water getting into the connections of the tps and some off the other connections.The fittings were greased but there was still water in there.They have suggested next time there is water on the bike to pull the plugs and see if water is getting,bad plug seals maybe. Ibeat settings 100 105 105 as recommended by husky aus.
 
When I did the powerup, my sweet spot seemed to be 103, 120, 112 on the Ibeat settings, but that's here in the US, running 93 octane.
After opening up the airbox and exhaust, I threw on a JD tuner and added a bit more fuel.
 
Right side at the peg mount. Very disappointed.

Oopsie, what did you smack into. (And how much do you weigh? Haha)

I shredded my Hammerhead shift tip, it's so awkwardly shaped and sticks out so far, I just made my own on the mill in an hour or so, much better...
