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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello to all, joined last year when I bought this machine. I rode home today from work, and the "max" and the "battery" icons are flashing on the lcd. I have no manual for this bike. I checked the battery voltage with the bike off, 12.7 volts. Cranked it up and at IDLE the battery reads 15.2 volts. WTF. Sounds too high to me. Can anyone tell me what the flashing pair of icons mean ?
 
They'll do that if the head light bulb burns out or a wire came off somewhere and it's lost some of the voltage draw, mine used to blow a head light bulb every other ride.... your voltage at idle is a little high, find the problem and that'll drop back down... That icon means "overcharge". next time you go to your dealer, see if you can get the shop manual on a cd. They don't cost much and tell you everything.... Good Luck....
 
The headlight is out :) Strange that the regulator doesn't take care of the higher voltage created from the lack of the headlight voltage drop. Thanks for the info !
 
That's just how precise they're set up.... kinda cool, and the way I look at, the bike is telling me the light is out BEFORE it gets dark****************************************!! That's kinda cool too. Happy Trails...
