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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

It seems I have a gremlin in my cr165. The last two times I've been out riding , when the bike gets hot (riding hard) I lose spark. When the bike cools I have spark again and the bike fires first kick. i went through all the connections and they seem fine. I'm thinking a stator could be going bad (old seems units did this when they got hot) but I'm not sure of the husky units. I suppose I could go through and replace the cap, wire, kill switch and eventually the stator but I really would like to get this gremlin cured first swing.

Thanks

It could be either the coil or the stator wiring having an intermittent short when they get hot. You can get them both hot and when the problem happens check your resistance across the igniter stator coil as well as the upper coil. The stator coil should have 23-28 ohms resistance.
