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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Headlight not working???? All other lights fine and bulb is fine?

Hi gang,

The bike has a trick dual sport light system. am I correct in believing that the headlight does not run off the battery? Should there be power coming from the bike's engine too to run the headlight? I am not seeing where the engine electrical power would come in to run the headlight? Any help would be appreciated. What am I missing?

Bulb is tested and is fine. Fuses have been tested.

Thanks for thinking about this with me.

If you have a 2008-2010 (maybe earlier) TE 450 than you'd have the same switch block as me.. which burned out the contact points for low/high beam which caused the headlight (but no others) to fail.

Its very easy to remove and inspect and it should be immediately obvious if it has failed. You will see carbon deposits and maybe melted plastic.

Thanks. Switch is fine. I am not getting 12 volts at bulb connection. Working backward, I see the headlight wires go into a trick dual sport switch box. 12 volts are going into the box to run all other lights, horn etc... The inside of the switch box looks like a computer board. Maybe this failed?

Can I run a new power line from battery with it's own switch to headlight to bypass the trick dualsport box?

Does the headlight run off AC? or DC?
 
Problem solved! Dale, the owner of Trick Dual Sport called and helped me get sorted. It all went back to my original question about ac or dc. He helped me wire in the ac power to the light's control box. He was very helpful and I am very pleased that the light is now working. His lights by the way are pretty sweet how the signals are all integrated.

Best,

Andrew
