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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Sm 610 no brake lights or horn.

Hi I'm wondering does the cdi control your brake lights? Is there anyway of testing your cdi to make sure it's working? And does anyone know where I can get a new rev counter? The large capacitor inside has sheared off, or anyone know where I could get a new capacitor so I could solder a new one in.
Thanks
 
On my 07 SM the Capacitive Discharge Ignition unit does not "control" anything but the ignition.

The fuse for the brake light (on my 07) is behind the headlight. Make sure that's good (and that you have power when activating either switch), then look for continuity through to the tail section. My bike has three harness sections: Forward, mid (engine breakout harness), and tail, with connectors at each end. The brake light wire changes color (again, on my bike) at every harness connector. My brake light wire rubbed itself through and shorted in the forward section, where the harness goes between the left radiator and the frame. So look for that if you have power at the fuse but keep blowing it. If memory serves me correctly, the horn and brake light are on the same fuse.

Also: I'm jealous of your CBR125. I want one. ;)
 
the brake lights seemed to come alright by itself, but only after i checked all the switches and all the wires and found everything ok, closer inspection revealed the bulb contacts slightly worn and corroded, so new bulb and all good. the wee cbr looks great but sadly lacks power and is geared badly so in top gear you just dont have the torque to hold your speed or even get to top speed, unless downhill with wind behind you, lol great learner bike though.
 
Glad you got it sorted.

I want a CBR125 mainly to race on all the kart tracks around here (and because nobody else has one that I know of). It just seems like it'd be a riot.
