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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

sm610 - rear turn signals failed

Hi! 2006 sm610

My rear turn signals failed recently. The last thing I did was take the bike apart to install a fuel screw into the carb. then later that night while test riding, I noticed the rear left signal didn't work, and later, the rear right one stopped working.

I swapped the rear bulbs into the front signals and they both work, so it's not dead bulbs.

I'm going to take the bike apart again and look for any melted wires but Im putting this post to see if anyone else has had this same problem before, or knows if it's related to a particular fuse, or who might have any hints as to what's going on.

ps--the rear red brake light works fine.
 
Turn signals on dirtbikes are always problematic. First thing I changed out cause they don't like being smashed in the dirt. But in your case it seems to be a loose wire. Take a look at the schematic in your owners manual, there are 3 wires for the turn signals - left, right, and the return line which is either +12v or ground - that is the one that is the issue.


You switched bulbs around so it seems you have the right mind set about how to approach things...
 
I got a electricity tester and traced it to a loose connection in the place where the wire was soldered to the bulb connection head and also just bad bulbs.

thanks guys

easy fix
