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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Dashboard doesn't display correctly

Hi guys,

Yesterday evening dashboard on my TE630 started to act weird..it didn't display correctly. It's intermittent. It looked like the picture below for some time, then it would work/display normally.
Here's how the display look like:

Can you please tell me what happen here with the dashboard and does it mean my dashboard is done and needs to be replaced?

Thanks in advance guys,
 
Okay... After I posted this thread I got terrible cold for two days and after I recovered I drove the car instead of riding my bike the past week...and I completely forgot about this dashboard problem.
This morning I checked the dashboard. I found that the dashboard felt a bit warm when touched. Not a good sign. I checked the battery voltage, it's down to 9.8 volt. So I did what I should've done weeks ago, removed the dashboard.:banghead:

Anyway, I removed it and left it under the sun for about an hour and currently I keep it in my camera dry cabinet. I found that the rubber cover of the button (the button to change the display mode) is torn and has hole on it.

So, I'm thinking that the worst case scenario is I have to buy a new dashboard... if this one doesn't work after a day in the dry cabinet...If it still works I'm going to use it and patch the rubber button.

My questions are: other than the OEM dashboard, is there other brand that is recommended?
Will I be better off getting the OEM dashboard or an aftermarket one?
Thanks in advance guys,

Bob
 
If I had to, I'd replace mine with a Trail Tech Vapor and add the indicator light dashboard. That way I would have a temp indicator, shift light, better tach, and the ability to change my speedo calibration when I change between 21 and 17" front wheels.
 
Moisture is a real problem with these dashes.

Recently had the same issue with mine.
Left it in a dry place for 8 days, did not help.
Left it again but this time for 7 weeks - rode other bikes during this period and never looked at it during this time.
Now it works perfectly.
 
Update:

I took the dashboard out of the cabinet two days ago and put it into a box of rice. I took it out of the box today and plug the connector.
It works, the dashboard works again :banana: So, I patch the mode button with a double tape and a black duct tape to make sure that water can no longer gets in there, cause the (plastic) mode button is cracked. Anyway, after I patched it I put it back on the bike.
