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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fan Won't Shut off

Recently on my friend 09 te510 it wouldn't start when cold but when warm fired beautifully. So first thing i did was check valves they were perfect. We discovered the spark plug wire connect was slightly loose. And this for this for the most part fixed the problem. But now for some reason his fan stays on like the bike is running really hot. He just installed an uptite Y hose to keep it cooler and the fan still runs. Anyone have an issue similar?

Thanks Drew
 
Yes- this sounds like the coolant temp sensor shorted internally-It is located near the ACCT (automatic cam chain tightener) on the left side of the cylinder. If you have a multimeter or ohm meter- you can insert 2 long sewing pins into the connector plug following the wires into the plug- they should make contact with the internal contacts of the plug. Then hold the two leads of an ohmm meter accross- there are values recorded in the "referance" section that tell you the normal range of the sensor.
Or... you should be able to disconnect the plug while cold- and it should start better and the fan should not run- since unplugging it will now cause infinate resistance- (the oppposite of a short) and it will run fine at start up but poorly once warm- and the fan now won't come on... Or you could jump a wire from from one of the sewing pins to the other and it would be a perfect connection which would run fan and tell the bike its is at running temps again- add a switch and you just eliminated the sensor's need- (don't add the switch just get new sensor) being sarchastic but explaining... for field use only.
then replace with a new sensor. I'd keep one in your daypack or toolbox too.

Mine hasn't failed yet but this appears to be a common sensor to fail- so I keep a spare.

:thumbsup:I love the things this guys says. Hes a badass
 
:excuseme:With all the water temp sensors being replaced multiple times,myself included,has anyone or Husqvarna come up with a reliable replacement part for this obviously defective part?One would think that as these parts are being replaced under warranty,that someone within Huskey/Bmw would be tracking this defective part which seems to be occuring more and more frequently?The dealer that I deal with can't keep them in stock,because they are replacing so many of them:excuseme:
 
My hope is that Husqvarna has been notified and they are correcting the problem or have already- Then all we as consumers have to do is sort through the the supply of sensors and find the good ones... by buying them and replacing them... that's what I see happening short of a recall. Maybe it appears more common to us since we are paying attention and reporting it, or maybe we are just the first to identify the problem. This is just a bad batch of sensors- not a design error- just a blad day at the sensor factory Husqvarna contracted with- .....(all in theory)
