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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2008 te 510 electronics failure .

I picked up an 08 te 510 over the summer . Smog equip is off and power up kit installed and re mapped at the dealer as per previous owner. Great bike, put 500 miles on it riding from Unidilla,NY to Lake George and back again. Plus some off road. Any way I was out in the late fall and the bike just died. Display does not come on, no fuel pump, nothing. Key on only the headlight indicator is lit. Does any body have a clue? Is it possible the battery is failing, I have 12.2 volts. I was riding at the time it shut down,nothing crazy just a fire road.
 
Check the headlight bulb and the 20 amp (yellow) fuse for it on the right side of the bike behind side cover. My bulb broke inside and blew the fuse. My bike had the same symptoms with only 40 mies on it. I was able to replace the fuse and ride home without the bulb connected.

Another problem I have found if the main fuse is blown (20 amp regular size on left side) is the three wires from the stator melting together inside the loom (with no visible damage outside). This occurs under the tank where it passes across the frame.

Thank you. I'll check it out. That's not first time someone has mentioned a broken wire under the loom.
 
Well it's fixed. I'm embarassed to say it was the middle 15 amp fuse in the holder under the seat. My job revolves around electrical and electronics , so I'm familiar with testing procedures. It's usually always something simple that gets over looked. While my buddy was checking voltages on both sides of the fuses, we had voltage. So a few beers later and the realization that I need glasses to read the color codes on the schematic, we were trying to find a broken wire. We traced every wire on the schematic. The yellow /sky blue from the key switch supplies power thru that 15amp middle fuse to basically all the other electronics on the bike, except for the small running light. We traced the &(^$% wire back to the fuse block ,checked voltage again ,only one side had power. The fuse had a hairline break that when pushed on the right way while testing it seemed good. Take the pressure off it would open . Anyway, I still am not to impressed with how the wiring,fuses and even the cpu is protected from the factory. I will be redoing alot of the wiring and making things a little better to take the abuse that the bike will go thru. Including just washing it. This is the first dirt bike I've owned with efi and a cpu, it kinda freaked me out when it crapped out. It really is a great bike and after all is said ,I'm glad to know how I can make sure it never leaves me stranded again.
 
Under the tank. do some protecting of the Green with red stripe wire, it is connected to the fuel pump relay, the fuel pump, the coil, and the fuel injector!

Also, beef up the protection on the gear position sensor, if it gets wet in a water crossing, your bike will run like crap until it dries out.

Hey thanks, This really is a great place for info. I've always had two strokers, so diagnostics and repairs were no problem. My first big boy bike was '82 cr 250 husky. At 14 years old I had to use what ever was around to climb up on it to get her started or run down the road and jump on. I will be going over everything on the TE this weekend. I'm probaly going to heat shrink a few of the connectors and use an old tube and wire ties on some of the other componets that need to be gotten to more often. If anyone has any other tips on key areas to protect please let me know. Thanks again
 
No surprise when I was watching Dakar highlights and a Husky rider was sidelied with.....wait for it.....electrical problems. Great bikes but pure crap for wiring design and components.
 
I will try to take pictures and post them as I go thru the wiring and come up with ideas to prevent some of these issues. Like I said I love the bike but I need to trust its reliability. Let the heat shrinking begin!
