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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
2014 te511 Dash not turning off.
- Thread starter huskylove
- Start date
Also the dash fuel light is iluminated continuously with a full tank.
Also it functions normally when started but with the fuel light iluminated?
I washed the bike yesterday lightly so idk if something got wet...Also when I started it this morning my exhaust/header wrap steamed a bit so maybe some moisture built up in the display and messed it up?!

Edit: Sorry I was typing before you entered that last post, try disconnecting the connector on the back of the display. Could be moisture in it causing battery voltage to bleed over to other connectors, I.E. the DC relay input wire.
I took all the wires apart and discoonected one connector at a time behind the dash....the dash disconnected would turn off obviously, then when plugged back in it would immediately iluminate and display a low fuel light....I took the switch on the bar apart and checked EVERYTHING for moisture, it was all completely dry. I then used my best electrical tape and taped EVERY connector/wire possible, zip tied it all nicely, ran the bike for a bit, and voila when it turned off it was off...
Walked by 20 minutes later to move the bike to install my axle sliders....and the thing was lit up again!
Now while quite angry I tapped on every relay on the bike, then disconnected the battery and reconnected it, disconnected the power commander (just in case) disconnected everything I could think of. The only one that would turn the display off is the battery being disconnected.
So then I go about my business, install my sliders, clean my chain, get ready for a ride.....look up, dash is off. SWEET it fixed itself!
Started the bike to warm it up, turned it off and the display goes out.....then the headlight and tailight flicker and it lights back up AGAIN! Then after 1 minute or so goes off.
I ride the bike for 2 hours, crash it trying to do a rolling burnout (not too hard maybe 15mph but it hurt none the less and thank god for the sliders)
The thing hasnt had a issue since.
Here is my theory; MY header wrap was wet and running the bike to go park it from where I washed it made a TON of steam....steam gets into the display and condenses and screws with it. Then the water takes forever to evaporate because the display is quite well sealed.
