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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Thank you very much. My 09 310 with 9400 miles recently had this FAIL come up. Broken wire right at the Tilt Sensor. The sensor was not very well secured and I'm sure the vibration from 3 years hard trail riding caused it to break. I secured it with zip ties. You may want to do the same.
In my case, it was just a broken wire. Fixed the wire, problem resolved. The bike ran fine it just always had the FAIL indicated on the display. Normally when switching on the ignition, it cycles SEL2, FAIL, SEL1, ODO 0.0. Which means SEL2 or map2 in the ECU is not activated, SEL1 is. SEL2 is the reduced power slippery mode. You can switch to SEL2 if you have the mode switch mounted.
