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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2011 te310 battery leads

My positive lead was worn through and earthing on the frame.
I might be the only one, but my bike has 40 hours on it & it has been a bit inconsistent power wise lately, things came to a head doing mx practice when I hit a jump face ( safe as jump ) and it just died. Back in the pits I found one of the cable ties holding my battery had broken, but the real discovery was the positive battery lead was worn through & earthing on the frame.
I'll do a proper fix tomorrow at an auto electrician, but about 8 wraps of electrical tape & I was back on the track, what a difference, it went really well.
Might be worth checking if you've got an x-light.

When I first got my bike I noticed that the positive lead looped back towards the front of the bike to the solenoid and was resting on the frame. I took a piece of rubber hose and split it from end to end and slipped it over the positive cable. That was 1500 miles ago and no problems yet,09 TE 510.Simple solution. You may also want to stuff some coarse cell foam under the tank just in front of the airbox to help keep dirt ,mud,slow down water if your blasting through deep water onto/into your air filter and a small piece in the bottom of the air box for same reason.
 
I have 2011 TXC250 with about 50 hours on it the same exact thing happened to me on the trail this past Monday. The positive lead had worn through the cable sheath and was arcing on the frame. Thankfully I found the problem, the battery was scortching hot. Same trail fix, couple wraps of electrical tape and I was on my way. Hope these posts save some others some anguish.
