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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have an 05 SMR 510 that has had a few hiccupes lately. Sometimes after I shut the bike off and I goto to restart, the starter button does absolutley nothing, no relay clicks either. After looking at the bike a little bit, I noticed there was originally a clutch safety switch. I want to see where in the harness it went to verify the wires are touching each and not loose (switch was removed).

If anyone has an idea of what else it could be, feel free to share. I might pull the starter switch apart and make sure theres no frayed/broken wires in there as well. I also checked the ignition path and didnt find anything out of the ordinary.

Thanks
 
The beauty of the harness for the safety switch is that they use opposite bullet single wire connectors to attach the switch assy to the harness.
You simply remove the 2 wire switch pigtail loop harness and plug the 2 male fem bullet connectors from the main harness together to close the circuit permanantly and eliminating the clutch switch and eliminating a potential out on the trail or race course fail point. Just keep the habit of of pulling the clutch when starting, its a good idea anyway and of course dont press the starter button when the engine is running.
