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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Potential MOSS substitutes

Remove the plastic cover around the headlight. There is room under the cover to securely attach your chipped key. It can be kept there as a spare and will be close enough to the ignition key to allow an unchipped key to start the bike.

I zip tied my spare key securely inside the head light housing as well. Survived 2300km in Baja with no issues. But I can't find a damn key cutter that will cut me a key. Either they won't because the original is chipped or they say its a special cutting die. Any suggestions for key cutters around town?

HA, I know where I'm getting my next Terra now.

I was wondering since our ecu can program 10 keys, if an rfid without key could be programmed or if it was proprietary to Husky/Magnetti Merelli. If a chip could be purchased cheap and programmed, that could be glued or epoxied to the bike, with no fear of a drive off, should someone find the spare, since it is public knowledge now.
 
I have done some digging on trying to find someone to cut and program an extra key. I found Absolute Lock and Key, located at 18 Lily Pond Drive
Camden, ME 04843. He thinks he found the key an APRILIA ZD23RT5 TRANSPONDER Motorcycle/scooter key but he needs a key to confirm the RFID chip. I only have one key because I lost one. :banghead:

Fair enough. But my chances of forgetting the spare key and losing the main key are greater then having someone read this forum and decide to snatch my bike. even if they did get the idea in their head, Vancouver is a pretty big place :)

Until the time someone figures out how to clone our keys, I'm happy with having it hidden and secure on my bike.

While riding down in Baja a couple months back I very nearly needed to access the spare key, until I checked my helmet :doh:
 
Does anyone know if a MOSS is available in Canada yet?

Ive seen threads about people sending their dash and ECU's to Husky NA for updates. Anyone have experince with this and what would be the process.

Any news on Rixxer or the AFixed tool?
