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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

449/511 Neutral Switch

Does the switch actually perform any function?

On my TE449 it doesn't seem to do anything. There's no neutral light, no starting interlock as there's no clutch switch, no sidestand switch. So I just can't see what the point of it is, unless the engine does something different when it thinks it's in neutral?

I took my switch out to test it, and it seems to have failed in an open position, which I think would be a non-neutral state. The bike runs fine, I'm just wondering if there any point in replacing the switch so that the ecu can at least see when I'm in neutral. I can (try to) start my bike in gear clutch out and itll lurch fowards, so my other thought was that there should be a start interlock and my broken switch makes the ecu think that is in neutral, but if that's the case then i don't see how you could ever start the bike in gear, clutch in, as there no clutch switch...

Any thoughts?
