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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Clutch lever switch?

Mine on TE610 giving shit! Looks like the pin is worn ... I presume it should stick out the end of the switch but is virtually level. Is really an idiot switch like a sidestand switch IMHO. What do most do - bridge it out or replace?
 
I think all it does is stop you from starting the bike unless the clutch lever is pulled. I'd just bypass it if replacement isn't an option.
 
Simply cut the wires leading to the clutch lever switch, strip them back, solder them, and cover with heat-shrink tubing. The circuit will then be closed and the starter will work without interruption.
 
Does the switch still work, or is it just that the lever doesn´t depress the pin? The bevelled nut on the brake and clutch levers sometimes need to be adjusted slightly. If the switch is dud, a replacement is cheap (scooters etc. use the same part so it´s freely available). Or you could just connect the two wires. But this could be seen as an "alteration" which might affect safety issues and cause problems with insurers etc.
