  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Fuel System Problems (Again!!)

I maybe completely off on this one... Is your fuel petcock turned to the ON position (lever facing down/vertically) when you ride the bike? I have made the mistake of having my petcock turned OFF and the bike shut down, which I believe overheated the temp sensor/fuel pump. I would turn the key on and wouldn't hear the fuel pump engaged. I gave it about 15 minutes of cooling down and eventually the bike started again (with the petcock ON now, of course.)
It's never a good idea to run a bike with a fuel pump down to completely empty, that's a surefire way to fry a fuel pump. Fill it up when you see the reserve light come on.
 
Also, why don't you write a letter to Husky/BMW? It's a brand new bike. You shouldn't be dealing with this issue at 120 miles on a 2011 bike. It really is a great bike, man. Hang in there. Sorry you are having trouble.
 
Is there a special tool to disconnect the the grey quick release fittings? I tried taking them apart but didn't want to break them, so I left them connected when I replaced the fuel pump. Any suggestions? I would like to check for leaks.
Yes those look the same as automotive quick disconects- picture OHR displays above depicts. look for a tool like this: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/ac...-Chrysler/_/N-26c9?itemIdentifier=246367_0_0_ I bought one for my jeep not long ago. They make different styles and sizes.
