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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Maybe this will help with battery issues...?

I have a 2011 te310 and once before I had an issue like this but over the weekend it became a bigger issue. It seems the battery has been bouncing around in its holder and finally the positive batrery wire broke at the terminal lug at the battery connection. This of course left the bike seat in the desert till I temporally fixed the lead.

What it did the first time was bounce around and shorted to the frame and while riding the bike started to sputter as it cut in and out. I had put a longer heat shrink sleave over the wire but it I guess was moving around enough to finally break.

So hopefully this will give others something to check.

I used from velcro behind the battery to keep it in place and also used some cardboard on top of the battery so the seat smashed down the battery allowing no movement.
 
Make a slit on both sides of the little plastic fins that are there to hold the battery in place. Big enough to run a zip tie through it. Then zip tie it down. Other wise the battery can bounce around like it did on you and do far more damage than it has. Like destroy an air filter while riding or the battery itself.
