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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Coolant Temp Sensor resistance values - 2009 TE450

I put this information in another thread- but it may be usefull for others in the future as well:
Did some tests on the Water Temperature Sensor:
Mine is working correctly and I have no issues.
I found that with the bike "cold":
The Resistance between the two prongs of the temp sensor was .690 K Ohms
The Temp indicated by Ibeat was 28'C or 82.4F
Which is what the temperature was outside today
I then started the bike and recorded the Resistance when the fan came on.
The Resistance between the two prongs was now .162 K Ohms
The Temperature on Ibeat indicated 207.5'F or 97.5'C
What this tells you is if you do not have an Ibeat- you can check the Resistance on an Ohm Meter or MultiMeter and see if yours has similar values. I had to go back and forth and there is some delay in doing this so the amounts might be off very slightly.

Hope this can be found helpful for someone,

The Water Temp Sensor is a variable resistor. Resistors can go bad by degrading and not being within their normal range. Resistors could gain or loose "resistance' :if it were an open circuit- the bike would think the engine is cold (higher resistance) if the and were an perfect 0resistance and closed circuit- the bike would think it was HOT.
