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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

First, I did search the forum on this for a bit, but no firm answer. Road about 200 miles yesterday on 90+ deg heat in Michigan. Luckily only when the day was done, would my 510 with approx. 5,500 mile not turn over or crank at all. tried jumping the wires to the clutch switch, but no luck. Starter does not try to engage at all. Bad Starter switch or relay? any input appreciated

...and the battery & connections are good? What is the voltage bike off and running?

You're right- take a hard look at the starter relay.
 
Yes going to go with the relay, fuses all good, pulled the starter and ran 12v to it and it ran fine. I think Halls will have some in stock today

sounds good. I should point out that you could've jumpered the starter relay (use something big) to test the starter motor- a more rigorous test.

also, the relay should not have corroded connections, melted/heat stress, or pitted contact points. fairly easy to eyeball.

don't forget to check your battery voltage; bike off, and bike idling (>12.5v, 13.8-14.5v)

good luck.
