  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 TXC 250 melted wires

So some background on this issue. I have been unable to identify the source of a weird electrical problem that cause the bike to stall from lack of spark on very hot days. If I kept the bike moving it would stay running. If i stopped to take a break some component would heat soak and I would have no spark until I waited and let the bike cool down. I am aware of the fuel pump issue and have eliminated that as being the issue by purchasing two different pumps and the problem persists.

I used a hair drier to try to duplicate the heat soaking on various components and it died when i warmed up the coil. So I purchased a coil and thought I had it solved. Still have not had a chance to run the bike on a hot day to test this.

While doing my annual strip down, clean and grease i discovered the following connector that comes from the stator cover and plugs into a another connector that leads to the main wiring harness was melted, with bare wires exposed. Could this have been my problem? I plan to butt splice and heat shrink each of the three wires directly and forgo the melted connectors. Is this unwise for any reason?

Any input would be welcome as I have very limited motorcycle specific troubleshooting skills.
