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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fitting a Pro-Oiler to a non-ABS TR650 Terra

I've used a Pro-Oiler on my Tornado for many years and it's worth every cent over and above the Scott-Oiler, which I had used previously. So when I picked up Moe, 6 weeks ago, it was a no-brainer to be fitted with one as well.
The hardest part was working out how to pick up the rear wheel sensor pulses, and feed them to the Pro-Oiler. I have a copy of the wiring diagram of the ABS model, but none has surfaced so far for my non-ABS model. The link below shows how I went about it.

I wouldn't recommend splicing into the bikes sensor for your oiler. It could weaken the signal too much and give you dramas e.g. erratic speedo operation. Try looking at fitting an additional sensor utilising the bikes tone wheel?
 
Excellent write up. Hmmm, don't have the signal we need, no worries, well just whip up a little circuit to modify it so it meets our needs. Love the collective talent on this forum.

Speedo works fine. The circuit I knocked up is high impedance, and the dash doesn't know it's there.
I thought about adding an additional sensor, but decided that that part of the bike, on this kind of bike, is too exposed and will probably get swiped off in a river crossing or mud filled rut. The existing one is well protected and anything I add wouldn't be as secure.
I've yet to calibrate the oil flow. I'll let you know what table I end up using. For now it's #12.
