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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Help Needed Please: 2014 Tr650 Terra Won’t Start

Jean Brutus

Husqvarna
I just purchased a 2014 Husqvarna TR659 Terra with 9250 miles that wouldn’t start. Previous owner who’s the second owner said he was driving on the highway when the bike died like it was running out of gas. Since then he couldn’t get the bike started. So from some background information, I learned that the bike had an EJK on it pn9110038. The second owner removed and gave it to a friend. When the bike died the EJK wasn’t one the bike. Now I have the bike home, I started looking around and saw a few wires that are cut (attached pictures) and also the O2 sensor wasn’t connected (as per the EJK manual I read).
1) does anyone know what these wires are for? Where do they go?
2) could the bike have died because the O2 wasn’t connected without the EJK?
3) could the ECU Be dead?

What should I be looking for?

Four wires going to the O2/lambda sensor wiring harness connector, wire colors are black, yellow with a blue trace, red with white trace and brown with a white trace.
 
What is the location of the 1st pic taken? If the wires are yellow/brown and red/white I think it is the purge solenoid. The blue/yellow and yellow wire might be the crankshaft position sensor. Coming out of the right side engine case, below the rectifier, is a blue and a white wire that go to a connector. The other half of the connector is where the blue/yellow and yellow wire are attached.

Yes it’s yellow/brown white/red located right under the tank. What is the purge solenoid? Can the bike run without it?

As far as the wire below the rectifier (blue and a white wire that go to a connector. The other half of the connector is where the blue/yellow and yellow wire are attached) that is connected properly!

The second picture I figured out they the 3 wires that were cut went to the kick stand switch that doesn’t exist anymore. So they bypassed it by shorting the yellow/green and brown/green wire together but leaving the blue/brown not connected. Since the were all supposed to go to the kick stand switch, I decided to short them all together. See pictures.

I reconnected the O2 sensor. See pictures
