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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Banjo Brake Switch

I am doing a little upkeep on my 449 and noticed my brake light was stuck on. Figured it was not a big deal until I got a call back from my KTM dealer... Seems the OEM banjo pressure switch is "No longer available for order".

I am pretty sure that Husky would have used a standard Brembo pressure switch, however, their logic on the front brake is strange. Normally, default resting is off, switch closed is brake light on. However, on the 449, the at rest static is ON and the activated is OFF (they use a reverse switch). Stupid...I predict a lawyer was involved.

So this concerns me that Husky chose some stupid login on the rear. I cannot get full access to the plug or I would play around with the wires and see what I can figure out.

Anyone replace these?
 
After all of the promises from stephan pirate about supplying parts for previous huskies a part for a 2 year old bike should not be "no longer available for order".
 
No good bigmo. I have a feeling we will see more of this, especially for the 449/511. Maybe some parts on the xlites too.
