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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Brand new to this forum as I am brand new to Husky (well since 1977). Just bought a 2009 TE 450. All was fine. Swapped cash and pink slips. Rode to the store. When I came out, no lights, dash, etc. before I start ripping into this thing with an ohm meter, looking for shorts and blown fuses, is there something I should check first ? Has this ever happened to you ? Hopefully it's something simple. Your $.02 please. Mutt
 
I have just fitted road gear to my te310 (indicators, number plate light, horn etc) and it started blowing the dash/lights/horn fuse instantly, went through 3 in 5 minutes trying to check where the problem was. When I had quickly attached the horn it was oriented in such a way that the bare connector (hadn't insulated yet) was able to touch the metal rad guard and was grounding/shorting out. Bent the bracket forward a bit to check and sure enough no more blown fuses.
 
Will be the main fuse. Bottom one from memory and is a 20A. Had this happen to mine when riding in the wet.
 
20 amp is reasonably strong, replace it, if it goes again you will need to trace your wires (take the tank off) and look for a bare patch where the plastic insulation coating has rubbed through. Realign the wire and put some insulation electrical tape over it.
 
I would go as far to say that these models were notorious for rubbing through wires in the loom. Suggest first removing the tank and looking for bare/severed copper.
