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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Gauge problem

Installed a JD tuner recently and was at the track last weekend for a trackday and was hoping to adjust the tune. Road a bit in the wet and now my gauge cluster is acting up. First all the lights were on, fuel, high beam, battery, Etc then nothing. It alternates between the two. I checked the battery connectors thinking I had a loose connection but that's not it. Bike has sat in sun to dry out and in garage to dry out since. Any suggestions?
 
Also, when I tried to hook up my headlights post trackday I'm finding that none of the lights are working, no headlight, tail light, blinker, etc. I was able to find the 2 20amp fuses on the distribution block and changed out one fuse that looked suspicious, but that wasn't it. I checked the connection on the headlight to make sure it was tight. I don't think it's the JD tuner as I did ride the bike with it and everything was working fine before the wet trackday.
 
I would double check the fuses and the wiring around the battery tray. The ground wire on my 610 was getting frayed from the the way it was routed around the battery and tray. The battery could also be on its way out and causing everything to go wonky. These darn electrical gremlins are fun aren't they!

thanks, I found a bad ground as well and blown fuse. surprisingly the gauge had power with the fuse blown, but wasn't operating correctly.
