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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Worldwide Speedo Failure Register

Sounds like my old bicycle computers. The contacts and internals would corrode and stop working. You could buy new 3032 batteries all day long but I'd open them up and scrape the debris off the contacts and use DeoxIT contact cleaning pen and got them working again. If the speedos can be disassembled easily, I'd try thorough cleaning. Hopefully the lights and other components can be replaced and the entire assembly is not a throwaway.

I don't understand why there's a headlight lamp that is always on. Kind of a waste of space, IMO.

In Australia its law to have head light on at all times to meet ADR requirements. You can't import or sell a bike in Aus that is road registered without a working headlight/lamp. I found this info in a manual for a suzuki dr 650 I had when I was looking for a button on the hand controls to switch it off.....no switch off button only high and low beam.
 
My '12 TE 310 speedo has stopped working. No power, Nothing! :doh:! The thing is it will be the second speedo unit fitted to this bike since new as the dealer who sold me my te310 second hand(ex demo bike, yep I took a gamble) said he had to replace the original one because it was water damaged. After reading through some of the Chats here on the forum I have come to the conclusion that the original speedo units fitted by Husky are very unreliable. After looking at other after market units it seems the Trail tech Vapor speedo units could be good, although they don't show the Race map settings like the original husky speedo does which is not a big deal, they always start in Map 1. Has anyone fitted a Vapor speedo unit to their 2012 Te310? I assume they don't just clip into the original wire harness. Any problems encountered? Is there a better alternative? Any help greatly appreciated.
 
my wr125 & 300 both had off switches on headlights, ktm do too. Hondas don't. think it has more to do with voltage regulators/output. crfx's need the light on to relieve some power output I believe or they fry the reg/rec. you may be right bout the adr thing just sayin

Yeah, I get that. We have that same law here. But that still doesn't explain the light on the dash that's always on. The headlight would work just fine without it. No other bike I have owned has a lamp on the dash that does nothing except indicate that the headlight is on. High beams, yes. Regular low beams, no.
 
Picked up my brand new 2014 TE449 yesterday. Rode her home (about 50ish miles) and I noticed the odometer / speedometer were still zero. I've seen mention of the sensor magnets coming dislodged, but I can't seem to see any problems, but I'm not entirely sure I'm even looking at the right thing. I called the dealer, and they said they've seen a lot of these bikes not have the sensor installed? WTF. So why didn't they check it in the first place was my question. Oversight I guess -_- Anyway, searches have left me with nothing, so if anyone can point me to exactly what I should be looking for, that would be great! Thanks!
 
Yeah, found some clearer images of where to look. I was, indeed, looking at the wrong spot (more the hub than the rotor itself) Thanks for the reply!
 
When I got my TE449 the wire from the sensor ( magnet on front brake rotor) was not plugged into the speedo. You might check that.
 
I am in New Zealand and have a 09 wr250. I am assuming it is like the Australian models and comes complete with everything for Road compliance. I bought it with only 150km on the odometer and with all road gear apart from headlight and speedo removed.
Is it normal for the speedo unit to loose all info (apart from odometer/total distance) every time the motor stops running.I have found no mention of a battery in the manual.
If in fact this is how they operate they are next to useless, stall on a ride and distance or time is lost!
Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Sounds like the battery might be dying, or the voltage is dropping to a point where the dash loses power, causing the disconnect. I've seen people mention this problem before. A lot of guys end up running the newer Lithium batteries. They are much lighter and hold the charge better than a lead/acid battery. I've used Shorai batteries in my streetbikes. They are fantastic.

What battery?
 
aint no battery in the WRs vustadumas! gwynfryn i replaced the battery in my stock speedo(cr2032 i think like scales/calculators use-10c piece size) but it did nothing. they are hopeless units. buy a trailtech endurance 2, swaps straight over with connections for pick up & mount holes the same. just need to earth it & run red wire to power(yellow wire under tank). EZ & much better unit for under $80-just buy the actual speedo unit itself not the whole kit with the speedo cable. thank me later

Hello guys.
I`ve got a 610 SM, 2007 year of manufacture.
My problem is that the speedometer doesn`t read above 90 KM/h.:mad: When i reach 90km/h it just goes down to 35 km/h then 7 km/h and after that it reads 0. Can you help me ? What could be the problem ?
Sorry for my bad english.
 
2011 TE310. Approx. 2800 miles. Everything on my gauge cluster works fine except...... My hour meter stopped working at 99.30 hour. Weird.
 
2009 TE250 speedo is dead after a weekend of wet riding. It got to almost 6000km. Where in Aust can I get a Endurance II speedo only?
