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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Went for a great ride today , bike ran great , got home and washed it , when I was drying it I noticed the panel was on , with the key off , took the key out and it stayed on , figured I would run the bike and that would fix it , started bike it ran like crap for a minute , then started running fine , went around the block and home was fine , shut it off everything shut off , dealer said I probably got something wet I shouldn t have , its a dirtbike is that possible.
 
Yep. Don't spray dash, or any electrical connectors, also near ECU. A lot of us use dielectric grease on connectors,
to help keep water and dirt, corrosion out. Watch out spraying pressure into wheel, swing arm, wheel bearings.
If using a pressure washer and using an oring chain, be careful of blowing rubber orings out of chain.
It's a machine, be careful.
 
If I even show my bike some water, the dash will stay on. Press the killswitch button and it will go off. Only takes a couple of drying hours and it's back to normal.
 
Mine is the same way. I bought some dielectric grease, and plan to use it on in all the connections I can get to, not sure exactly where the problem is. (anyone figure it out?) It still makes me nervous when the power stays on like that, but it has always turned off when dried out. Once, after a right after thorough washing the engine sputtered and cut out about a mile down the road but I was able to restart it after a minute, I'm sure it was due to water getting in somewhere it wasn't supposed to go. I'm more careful now even with just garden hose spray.
 
Mines the same, 2011 te310. I have tried everything I can think of. I die-electric greased all connections and take care when washing, cover the dash with a plastic pag etc etc.
usually it comes on for me when I wash something in the RHS of bike ( brake side )
I also noticed the low fuel light comes on with my dash even when tank is full, I have taken extra attention to the wiring for this but had no results.
Bike will start and run fine so I live with it. Just flick the kill switch when it comes on so battery doesn't go flat :) also easier IMO :P

Cheers
 
My low fuel light stays on too.
I'm slowly getting round to changing the connectors on the bike for those waterproof type ones. But its not solved it yet. Im
Gonna do the rear brake switch next
