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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Speedometer/Dash Issues

Anyone find a solution for a water damaged shorted out speedometer/dash on a Terra? Only BMW would tie their speedometer to the ECU so that the bike would not run if the speedometer was not operational. Especially crazy with the Terra being an adventure/dual sport bike that would see harsh conditions.
I ordered a new speedometer that matches my VIN number from Austria for nearly $1000 back in December, but here it is April and I still haven't received it. In the meantime, my Terra is a 400 pound paperweight. Grasping at straws, but wondering if someone has figured out a way to fool the ECU so that a aftermarket speedometer, like a Trail Tech Voyager, could be used and that the bike would start. I'd love to get a refund on the $1000!
 
Did you have a chat to the mob in the Philippines who do dash repairs? They can be found on Facebook.
