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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

No Headlights

So last night I was leaving from work and noticed I head no head light for the next 25 miles. Not the bikes fault. When I first changed the oil I made a mental note to watch the wires that run between the filter housing and the chain front sprocket guard. The night before last night I changed my oil in a hurry and crimped the wire. In return it blew fuse#2 a 15 amp fuse. if your high and low beam go out with your horn and brake light this will be the problem. I do give Husqvarna props for putting the running lights, the emergency little light above the head light on a separate fuse or I would have had no lights. Although, the emergency light is barely manageable. I just rode behind another car for most of the ride luckily.
 
Thanks for the heads up. Good stuff to know, both that that wire crimping can kill the lights, and that the little flashlight bulb is on a separate circuit.
