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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

anyone else have this happen yet?

checked and its not the kill switch. FW is turning with the crank. im pretty sure its the stator or the coil/cdi.

just putting this out there to see if anyones got any other thoughts on things to look at.
 
Are you running any of your lights? Just asking, because I've read that the lights and the ignition don't get along too well.
 
Yup, I had the coil go out on my 2011. It just cut out on me while riding one day. Checked it when I got back and, sure enough, no spark.

i had just put my lighting harness on and run the light just once. just long enough to make sure it worked. has this been a known problem?
 
just cleaned up the bike and took things back down so i could test the stator and it is working just fine. its the cdi box/coil.

cannt wait to see how much this is going to cost. this bikes for sale guys and its decked out ready to take to the races or do some serious trail riding!
 
I saw some discussions regarding the Ducati ignition and the lights not cooperating. I haven't installed my lights because of this problem. I can't imagine it being a coincidence that your CDI box burnt out just after installing the lights.

That's why I didn't bother to install mine either.:excuseme:
 
Here's a quote from Bill from this thread http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/just-bought-an-11-wr300-have-qs.21050/page-1
"We had some problems with the early 2011 WR250/300 having the wrong harness but the later ones came corrected.The lights are easy, its getting the dash wired in properly so you dont fry it is the confusing part.Look for just one yellow wire under the tank find that and we can get you dialed the rest of the way.billf


Now we just have to figure out how to tell if we have the bad wiring set up or the new.

I sure would like to know which wiring loom I have for mine, and then if it's good, I'd like the instructions.:popcorn:

was yours related to your lights or anything?

I don't run any lights on mine. It just gave out while I was putting along looking for my friend's lost Gopro. I thought I had fouled a plug, but I swapped it on the trail and still no go. When I got it home I checked it out and had no spark, but the stator was putting out power, so I swapped out the coil and she fired right up.
 
Do you know how to check the stator? I mean where do I attach my multimeter and what voltage should I be reading off?

Thanks,

Finally over a year later Husqvarna gave the dealer the new wiring diagram (no harness issue) and wired in my lights about a month ago. Since then I've had 3 rides. 1st went fine, 2nd ride the bike was getting hard to start taking 7-10 kicks after only sitting for a couple minutes. 3rd ride I unplugged the lights and guess what.... now it starts normal. My guess problem not solved, at least not on Husky's end. My end i'm probably going to install a 2010 ingnition and be done with it. I have to be honest, between this lighting issue, the thermostat going bad (causing a blown top end) and lack of customer support I have not been a very proud Husky owner.
