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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Possible to add a keyed ignition to a 2000 TE610?

Hi guys,

I'm seriously considering a sweet looking 2000 TE610. Is it possible to add a keyed ignition? My reasoning for this is that the bike will be parked in my (somewhat) secure underground parking stall. I want to add the ignition so it's a little bit more difficult for the bike to grow legs. Yes, I know it's easy enough to steal by loading it onto a truck, but a keyed ignition would make me feel a bit better, especially when I'm catching z's at a busy campground.
 
I'm quite sure it is possible. Physically mounting it could be done in a quality manner or in a quick manner, depending on how much time you want to spend and how talented you are. Electrically it is quite simple if you only want to engage the kill switch when the key is turned off.

If it were me I'd forgo the keyed switch an put a hidden switch somewhere and parallel the kill switch, it would be easier to have a schematic.
