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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Very close to cranking up the "new to me" Husky. ( I know... I've had it a month ... I'm slow). A reminder; this bike's a TE ... that came to me stripped of lights for hare scrambles riding.

Questions:
-Looking at wiring diagrams and my bikes harness I believe this bike never had a ignition key. That's fine... but so what...to start it, no flipping any switches .... just push the start button, right?

-I understand that the wire from the ECU leading to the stop button can be sinked to ground with a switch hidden somewhere ... a theft deterrent. This will stop the plug from firing, but the start button will still turn the engine over, right?

-How about using the wire(s) going to the "clutch in" switch? I'm not using that but a switch hidden somewhere wound prevent unwanted cranking. Huh?

- With no ignition switch, lights and the horn simply work off their respective switches?

Thanks, dave
