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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE450 fried ECU with short circuit...

I made a HUGE mistake and possibly fried a connection in my ECU. Obviously I hope it's just a fuse but I have a bad feeling...

2009 TE450

I was attempting to use an OBD2 cable to plug ibeat into the bike while the semco cable is in the mail, and I think two of the pins I inserted into the bike's plug may have shorted out.

The bike was running with a poorly made connection between the obd2 cable and the bike when the cable slid off the front fender. The bike died as soon as it happened and the key doesn't do anything but turn on the taillight anymore... I looked at the connector after it fell off the fender and two pins (#5 and #6) looked like they were touching or could have.

I'm still going through the fuses but are there any other electronics to check besides the ECU itself? Pretty sure I fucked this one up badly :/
 
I would not assume that yur ecu is gone. These things are build for bad condions and are protected from a lot of things. Seams wierd that you dont get anything but the back light. The ecu does not control all the light circuits and stuff. Thats a good sign that you may have melted a wire or something simple. I would start buy troubleshooting your main power circuits that power everthing and work your way to the ecu.
