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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Heard me a rumor - could it b true???

I rode with a guy last weekend and he had a vapor that said 52 miles and my garmin gcx said 47.5 miles. He pointed out that the GPS looses connections and doesnt account in the calculation of the up and down climbing on hills. Any ideas or theories on that one?

Thats my only worry. My Vapor up and dieed one day during a ride and the only thing I can think off was I spilled gas or something got in it. Because replacing the battery didnt help. So....

Call them, they are real good at taking care of issues with the computers.

One of my Vectors started acting up and naturally it wouldn't screw up for them when they got it back.
Justin even took it home and put it on his Yamaha for a day. Thought I got a bad battery.
When I got it back it went back to its old tricks so he sent me a replacement.
I'm happy.

A Zumo 450 with US Topo loaded on it for dual sporting has been working good for me, but the new Trail Tech sounds like just the thing for offroading.

yeah I did. they are awesome and replaced it. That was my KTM. Been wanting a new one for my WR300 but been slow buying it as I have a hand held garmin gps now. Problem with my Garmin though is its cumbersome on the bike.
 
Does anyone know why they would only be listing this for the TE400-610? Why not the 250 or 310?
 
The response from Trail Tech regarding the Voyager on a 250 or 310 is that they haven't tried one for fitment, and that they only list what they are sure will fit.

Looking at the parts catalog, I don't see any differences for the larger displacement bikes with regard to the mounting area, so hopefully that's a good sign!
 
I called and they said the main issue was the diameter of the radiator hoses for the sensor. They where waiting on schematics because the main guy at Husky quit. So I was told.
 
Interesting... I take it there's no rad cap option for the sensor?

I'd also add that the temperature sensor doesn't seem like it would be essential. It's not like the functionality is lost from the stock display.

yeah, I was thinking the same. They said the diameter is probably 19 or 22 mm. I have no clue:D
 
Well the parts catalog does show different hoses for the 250/310 vs the 450/510 into and out of the pump housing.

Although, the pump housing that they connect to is the same for all models, so I wouldn't think the diameter would be different.

Who knows?

anyone know if they're using someone else's tech, so as to make it easier to find compatible drivers for mapping programs?

can you switch it between bikes easily? i know some of their other computers have a 'bike1 and 'bike2' function, so you just need a separate mount kit, press a button to switch and you're good to go.

Standard GPX data. EZ transfer via mini SD. And they have a trail sight...
