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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Toasty stator on the '07 te450

Got to try to start the "new to me" bike this week-end. It was hard starting, many series of cranking, some backfiring and so on. Reluctantly it started and then I found out there's no lighting power from the alternator. Yes the bike suffered overheating from the P/O .... radiators crushed and empty. And in places the motors external wires sheathing on stator wires and the GPS wire look toasty.
I pulled the stator and yes, the yellow and white wires are melted off the coils. The six coils look sound, just the wires un-soldered/melted from the coil "tangs". The exciter coil and BLK/RED, RED/WHT wires look ok and measures right, 15 ohm's. The trigger coil, RED & GREEN wires is messed up ...all bubbly and windings separating from the core.
Maybe that's why the bike backfires? ( Poor trigger timing signal to the ECU)? Looking for a reason for the hard starting and backfiring, I'd feel better if I knew for sure the 100ohm's it's reading is not right.

So, even if I were to fix the lighting coil by soldering the wires back on, it'll still need a trigger coil. Is it available separatly from the rest of the stator? Anyone have a spare?

Thanks, Dave
 
You have to buy the whole thing. Its not cheap, and it comes with a flywheel, although they might be seperating them out (rumor).

You can put an 08 unit in there and have more power if needed.

Wish they used a higher temp solder, or not, maybe this is a Husky way of saving the motor when it overheats. KTM uses a higher temp solder.

anyway, sorry for the bad news.
 
Regardless of the cost bad news, thanks much for the info. Is the 2008 stator a bolt-on? Can reuse my '07 voltage rectifier?

So, did I use the right terminology for the coils and what-not? (was a bit unsure).

As for the starting issues, does it sound possible the trigger coils the culprit?

I see TrailTech does "custom" re-winding of stators for Kawasaki 450's. Wonder if they'd redo a Husky? ( Or if they just do the big lighting coil...not the small trigger's).
