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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My '06 610 Speedo stopped working.

I suspected the pick-up cable but the odometer still works?

What is up with that?
 
It happened to me, too. My instrument has a blue background light; yours should have the amber light, so maybe there are some other differences and maybe what I did won't work with yours.
Following a piece of advice read on forums, I disconnected the battery cables and, after some minutes, I connected them back. The speedo has been working properly since then.
Someone suggests that you also connect the two cables to each other to create a short circuit, but I didn't try it and I suspect it could damage the bike (but I don't know much about electronics).
 
Makes sense.

The speedo is a mico-processor like a computer.

Must need to be re-booted!

No, I wont short it!
 
Don't short it.

It's a known "random thing" (without explanation) and widely published about the 610 dashes.

Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery, count to five, reconnect and you're on your way. You *can* disconnect both cables and put them together (without the battery connected at all) momentarily, but it isn't necessary with these systems.
