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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Total fuel pump failure

I've seen pumps fail due to the wires being pulled from the connectors when removing the tank.
If you can find an cheap Aprilia RXV pump......

Hey Jim,

I have an '09 TE-510 and was out on a multiday excursion when my fuel pump packed it in. At roadside I traced it back to that, but as it was still under warranty, didn't go in any deeper and let my brother go get his truck and haul me and the dead bike out. My bike had 2000 kms on it roughly.. At the shop they replaced it with a new one out of another moto, and when I was pulling the fuel pump assembly out of the tank I noticed immediately the problem. There was 2 wires with plugs on them that sit right in the fuel and one of the wires did not have any support plastic on it and had simply broken off, thus killing the pump. As the new pump had already been put in my new IMS tank and installed on the bike which was now running fine, I didn't bother to fix this dead pump and try it, but I'll bet it would have run again no problem. If it ever happens to me again in the woods, I'd pull it out again and check the wires. You may want to on yours too... that may be the issue. Good luck, Pete SS
 
Yea, checked those out and they are fine, interesting though, have not heard of that yet. Thanks for the input.
By the way, did they let you keep the pump...Doubt it, sure they needed to send it back huh?
