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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2012 TE310 draining battery

So the bike I picked up that I bought from a dealer with 224 miles is draining batteries. It's the bike in the thread "potential new TE310 owner"

Has power up, etc.

Rode it Friday and Saturday and Sunday it wouldn't start with the switch. Kicked it and idled awhile then tucked it away.

Monday it would do nothing. Tuesday the shop opened and I trucked it there. Battery was at 7 volts. Replaced with new YUSA battery (not aftermarket). Rode it home.

Today after work I went for a ride. After 45 minutes it died. Kicked it and it ran a bit. Did that a couple times between waiting and finally got it to hard top and pushed it/coasted a mile home.

At home it read 10 but wouldn't start and settled back at 5 volts. Totally dead.

Since it's used no warranty, any ideas? Going to take it to the shop tomorrow and see what they'll do. They claim it was charging but clearly it's running off the battery alone.

Help!?
 
I checked all the fuses. On the right side running down the frame by the shock is a connector that is tied to the rear brake it appears. That wasn't "clicked" shut so I closed it.

Batt was at 10v, wouldn't e-start so kicked it over. Put voltmeter to the battery and it's at 7.5 to 8.2 while running.
 
Shop called. They said that the stator wires/harness was routed incorrectly and had melted against the exhaust and that they fixed it. We'll see if it works!
 
Nice, (Can't answer the moderator question...) certainly sounded like a charging stator issue.. you should see over 13.5 volts at batt. terminals with engine running, often around 14 or so needed to keep charge up.
 
Seems to have solved the issue. Got a few hours in on Sunday on the trails and it didn't die! (one of the rear turn signal mounts broke in half, though, so I'll be fixing that).

Just a reminder that if you work on the bike, make sure the wires coming from the stator next to the exhaust get tied off away from the exhaust.
