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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

08 te610 and electrical accessories ?

the heated jacket uses 76 watts, how much extra juice does the 610 have?

Also I switch the 30/30 headlight bulb to a 60/60 and on low beam the light seems dimmer than the 30 watt:confused:
 
You should have plenty to run you're vest. I believe that the FI 610s have a 320w generator. The FI fuel pump eats up some of that but even with the fuel pump charging system and a 60w light you should have a good 100w to play with for accessories.

:cheers: thanks
any idea why the 60/60 looks dim on low beam?

My guess would be a bad connection The factory wiring is very lightweight and somewhat fragile The spade connectors on the light socket are a common problem.

I just went through this while fiddling with lights and had the wires going to the headlight mixed up. Had ultra bright hi (because both hi and low were lit) and a dim low. If you pulled the wires off while changing the bulb, it may be your problem.

When you did this was your high-beam indicator on all the time? I think I may have done the same thing.
 
thinking either the bike doesn't have enough juice on low beam for a 60w bulb or the bulb is faulty.:excuseme:

thinking back I did remove that tiny bulb thinking it would save a watt or two. could that be the problem?

PS the jacket liner heats nicely
 
If you swap the blue and black wires, in Low beam switch position both headlight beams will be on and be dim.

Switching the hi/low switch to hi, as I recall, switches to only high beam.

When I got my used 610, the gnd/hi beam (blue=gnd) wires were swapped in the connector when the Acerbis Cyclops was installed. Easy fix :-).

And I beleive the high beam indicator was on all the time until I sorted it out.
 
The bike has plenty to run a 60W bulb plus some accessories. The SM610 comes stock with a 50 or 60 watt bulb. The high and low beam run together on these bikes. If the bulb is dim, you have a wiring or system problem. Take some voltage measurements.

Also what does the high beam look like? Dim also?

high beam is very bright, that's what makes me think the bulb is defective. maybe because I removed that tiny little secondary bulb:excuseme::confused:
 
The 5 watt bulb is independent of the headlamp fuctioning. I also use it to power my GPS.

Take a good look at your connector, including the connector blades and crimps, take voltage measurements, swap bulbs. Also consider the handlebar switch, maybe it is crusted up?
