  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 starting relay problem ?

Snail

Husqvarna
C Class
Dropped my 310 today and afterwards it would not go,
Had power to the dash
No fuel pump priming so couldn't kick start either
Hitting the start button caused all power to go off momentary.
After removing the side cover and checking fuses and connectors one of the other guys shorted a screw driver across the relay and the bike turned over just fine.
Immediately after this everything was back to normal with the starter and fuel pump working fine.

I dropped it again later in the day and had a repeat of the problem but a solid thump to the cover plate beside the area of the relay got it going again.

Not sure if it is a looses connection or the relay playing up.
Any others seen this problem.
 
Relays can cause intermittent problems. I say check your connections at the relay both the ones that power the relay and the ones that the relay passes power to, in other words all the connections at the relay. If that won't solve the problem, replace the relay.
 
fuse is not the problem or shorting the relay wouldn't have worked. The relay either has a loose connection or it's sticking internally. Check the connections, if snug, etc... replace the relay.
 
Over the years I've learned some basic rules for trouble-shooting: 1) Never assume anything, 2) Try the easy & low cost things first.

The cracked fuse problem has burnt several riders. Fuses are easy to replace and should be in your trail bag anyway. I'd start with a swap of the fuse.
