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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2001 kickstarter version. I can't find any electric diagrams on this one. i need to know if the electric system is ac or dc. I try to mount an LED running indicator light (Audi style indicators) but they act weird like running on ac. When in make the connections on my workbench powered by a 12 volt battery, everything work fine. Also, all indicators have a disco effect, no matter in which direction the switch is. They all flash very weird. They do not "run". So it look like that on the bike, ac is entering the setup.

The led lights run by themselves when connected directly to a 12 volt battery.
 
Was present, does not work. No matter how i connected it. By the way, this running lights (Audi indicators) dont need that, they run led by led until fully lit and then turn off for the next cycle. They do this as soon as you connect them to a 12 volt battery, there is no need for a relay. The electronics for this is inside each indicator. Have that said, an on/off switch will do with this running lights.

They dont run of blink fast. (they have to run) This is common with non-running led indicator lights at some motorcycles. This ones need a resistor or a special led relay.

The "blinking" seems random and fast at all 4 indicator lights at the same time. No matter if i turn left or right.

This is why i start to think that the electric system of this motorcycle run on AC. I always thought motorcycles run on DC. But then again, if there is no battery, because its a kick starter, there is no need for an rectifier when using traditional light bulbs.

But is that the right thinking, does it run on AC?
