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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Battery not charging.....

2010 Husqvarna TE250

Problem: Battery not charging

The Bike is a used 2010 TE250. Purchased it off of craigslist, previous owner installed a new battery. Needless to say it left me stranded in the woods and had to get it towed home.

After some trouble shooting per the service manual I thought I tracked it down to a faulty voltage regulator. I checked the generator (stator) per the manual and its within spec’s of .6 Ohm’s when I test it. Ordered it on line…..

After installing a new voltage regulator, the battery still isn't charging.

I cleaned all the connections that I could find on the bike, sprayed them with electronic spray cleaner. Cleaned the grounds….Still not charging the battery….you can watch it drop as you rev the engine, its under 13V.

Today I threw in the towel and road it to my local Husky dealer, Motorsports Nation in Waterford CT. The service manager was too thrilled with having to work on a 2010 husky. Said he didn't have any manuals/parts microfiche or access to reliable parts distribution. I wanted him to trouble shoot the bike for me. I even brought my own service manual for them to use as a reference. he suggested I bring it to a dealer that services “old” husky’s …..

Needless to say its still there…..I’m going to give them a week and then go pick it up.

In the mean time anyone have any suggestions?

Is there anyway to test the generator output while the bike is running?….not at the battery but closer to the generator?

I've read several other threads and tried some of those suggestions with nothing.....
 
Yes I did.... Just got the bike back from the dealer..... And it was a broken wire from the stator....
 
In my similar case was the batery.
if you are not sure if the batery is new, replace it.
