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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have a 2008 TE510 that has killed two batterys. They die in the middle of a ride the bike starts to spuder a few times then just dies and the battery has less than 2v. I put a new battery in and checked the charging volts its 14.5 at idle my new Beta is at 13.1. is 14.5 normal or is this why my batterys die an untimely death by overchargeing
 
A fully charged battery should be north of 12.75 volts with the engine off. During charging via the stator it should be circa 14 volts or a tad higher,
If your bike is discharging a new battery so soon it can only be a short. Follow your leads and look for shorting out propects
 
it will go a year without an issue sit for months start fine ect. Then all of a suden doing a ride just quit and the battery will not take a charge its that dead I cant belive that a short would just kill the battery and not blow a fuse or something.
 
It does sound strange SoKal but it must be a major and sudden discharge to kill a battery that way. Sounds like the battery leads are the culprit as a first guess.
 
Also would be worthwhile to check for any loose connections or corrosion on the stator plugs. Maybe the stator stops charging and kills down the battery. The main plug is round with 3 yellow wires and comes up off the stator and plugs up under the tank on the left hand side of the bike. Make sure no chaffing or anything.
 
14.5 at idle is excellent-what is your idle at anyway-might be a tad high. I think 14.5 is pretty toppy.
