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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi Everyone
I am new to Husky's and new to this forum. I just purchased a street legal 1995 wr? or is that wxe/wxc? The bike is in wonderful shape with a recent rebuild top to bottom. Clean plastics and many upgrades. The bike starts and runs well. The problem I am having is the lights do not work. I bench tested the lights and they function. I have checked all connections and cleaned all grounds. Continuity seems correct. I tested also by passing the switch and it still failed. When I test the single wire coming out of the voltage rectifier the voltage reading is jumping from 0 to 18 volts. I have not worked on a bike with lights but no battery and not sure how it works, do you think the rectifier is bad or maybe the stator or magneto any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Jeff
 
If the thing your calling a voltage rectifier only has one wire, it's probably a voltage regulator and your setup is AC. The regulator's job is to limit voltage output to protect your bulbs. Disconnect the regulator and see if the lights work and replace it if they do.

If they still don't work, it's probably your stator.
 
Hi Jeff,

If you are reading 18v coming from the regulator then it's faulty as it should only output something like 14v at whatever rev range and like Uranys said, a fault reg and you pop lights very quickly.
You may have a faulty switch block, you could run a lead direct to the yellow wire that comes from the regulator and into the green/black wire block (this basically connects to another wire which is the main power lead from the stator).

If you pm your email address, l can send your the manual with electrical schematic.
 
Hi and thanks for the info,
I used a fluke meter instead of a medium grade meter and the stator showed 20vac at idle and 30-90 vac while using the throttle . Still getting incorrect voltage when the rectifier is connected so I believe it is the rectifier/regulator. I will let you know when I get the new one in.

thanks

Jeff
omygewed I will pm you so if you can send the manual I would appreciate it.
