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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

G'day all, I just read a post in an OZ site that may interest anyone who is picking up or has bought a new 09 TE 450.

" A good mate who works at the local husky dealer as a motocycle mechanic just took delivery of a 09 te450 and was just finishing off the run in process and there was a large amount of smoke from under the seat after a panic (visons of a bushfire runing thru my head) seat removal we found the battery scorching hot and the battery leads melting all the insulation off them we tore one off to stop the dead short.
The problem the two battery leads run thru a piece of sub frame on the L/H side of the battery and it rubbed thru the leads
so if you own one or know some one that does get on to the routing of the battry leads a few zip ties and some heater hose may save loss of a new bike and a bushfire we were lucky this happened around a toolbox who knows what the result would have been on the trail "
this is cut n paste of the thread. I hope this saves someone some heartache out there. I thank also the original poster opf said article fror bringing it to light.
