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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

aftermarket dash how to restore low fuel light

Hey guys, the PO of my 08 510 SMR installed a trailtech Vector. Any ideas on how i could restore the low fuel light? I track miliage but it would be nice to have a light just for piece of mind. Thanks!
 
You'd probably need the OEM dash, there are 2 wires that come out of the tank, that indicate low fuel, but who knows what the 2 wires communicate, or how to interface that data with the TT. My low fuel mechanism broke off inside the tank from rough riding and I have always used the tripometer as a fuel level indicator so.....
 
One of the 10 wires going into the plug for the original dash will be 12V "hot" when the fuel is low. The wires are color coded and can be identified on the schematic. (W/Y (white/yellow) position 9 in 2010 manual) Wire this to a little indicator light from an auto store. The other side to ground. The indicator "dash" from TrailTech has four built in indicator lights. Hook the low fuel wire to one of them. Could also do N indicator and turn signal.
