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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

610sm 2007 ( carbed ) starting issues

T

teanau

Husqvarna
C Class
symptoms:
key on, all lights etc come on, but no sound or activity when starter pressed.
It seems no signal is being sent to the relay to start.

tests:
bike in neutral
kill switch disabled
battery = good ( brand new )
fuses = good
starter works and bike starts when shorting across the starter relay.
clutch switch removed
ignition switch replaced
starter relay replaced

what other tests should i be running?
Im about to start checking all the wires for a stray short.
Where should i be checking for a good earth? the coil under the tank?
its an sm model that has a tilt sensor right? could that be faulty?

thanks for your time

if anyone else gets the same issue the problem in my case was a broken wire right in the middle of the wire harness as it passes under the tank.
you can see the green/ white wire is severed.
it carried the positive signal from the ignition switch directly to the starter relay.
Once i figured out the wiring diagram it was super simple.
hope that helps someone.

indeed, the green/white is the critical starter wire, red/green is the horn.
ill fix it too, heres hoping the whole lot arent about to go.
its an area that sees a lot of flex.

what would be the best solution here? add a new section of wire and make the joins either side of this high flex zone?
