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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What's this wire for? I bought the bike a week ago and took the headlight off and saw this wire is all burnt up.
It's on a 2011 husky 630.

Looks like the two horn connectors. Do you have a working horn?

Maybe something rubbed it and it shorted out.
 
Looks like it might be for the horn? Anything not working, like a turn signal or brake light when you grab the front brake?
 
Don't listen to RDTCU, he has no idea what he's talking about.:lol

We must have been typing at the exact same time. Too bad you gave such a ridiculous suggestion.
 
You gotta be quick ;)

My guess is that the previous owner dumped it at some point and smashed the horn into the steering neck.
 
Ya theres no horn ha just called the guy and he said it started smoking so he ripped it out any reason it would all of a sudden burn up ? Thanks for the helps guys !!
 
Probably pinched the wire and it grounded, figure it would pop a fuse before toasting the wire, though...
 
FYI the horn is normally attached to the lower triple right behind where your finger tips come together in the picture, and there isn't a horn in the picture there ;)
