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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

On-off Light switch

On my 06 TE510 there is on/off switch on the back side of the HI-LO/horn/indicator switch housing. It is non functional. The button can be pressed in but it doesn't stay or "click" or turn off the lights.

I'm wondering if maybe I have a EU switch that has been somehow rendered non-functional to comply with US regs?

If so I'd like to "functionalize" this switch.

Anyone run into this before?

What you're probably looking at is the hi/lo flasher switch. It is a momemtary switch that flashes the hi beam. Try turning on you're lights at night and look to see if the switch flashes the high beam. It is probably not disabled because you need to use it for certain functions on you're speedo.

You are correct. it is the high/low momentary switch. Husky made the light to function in corolation to the speedo to make it 50 state legal since half the states require a light always on, and to keep people from cutting it off.

I have an 07 and am getting ready to put a switch behind the front number plate to turn it off when im just riding on trails in the day. I dont like having it on when not needed.

I will probably do it this weekend. I have to figure out which one goes to the bulb. I havent looked yet.

Thanks, found out today about the momentary high beam but didn't know about the speedo function. I'll have to read up on that speedo in my "Hans and Franz" book.

Also discovered today that the turn signals are apparently the only electric function that works without the motor running.
Had an old man moment, came out of the DMV to find the left blinker blinking away.

My horn works with engine off!

And yes I've had people pull up along side on the freeway pointing out that the blinker was blinking on the bike :lol:
