  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 kill switch problem?

Hi everyone, new to this forum, looks like a cool place if you own a husky!
I've just bought myself a 2011 te250. Just ridden it for the first time today in an enduro.... It's absolutely mega, I love it.

Quick question though. I've got back and washed it, and now without the key in the igntion, with the kill switch pushed in, the dashboard stays illuminated! If u let the switch out, dashboard goes off. Push it back in, it comes on again. It doesn't start the fuel pump whirring it just illuminates the dash

The only other thing is that the fuel light is also on. It is probably low on fuel though.

Is the fuel light being on the cause of the kill switch turning the dash on ? Or is it most likey that I've got water in it?

Any help much appreciated

Thanks

Jody
 
This sounds like the same problem I'm having with my bike! Does your dash cycle through the numbers and go on and off? and will it start with the key turned on?
 
It doesn't do anything out of the ordinary by itself, doesn't flick on and off etc.. Yes it starts perfect with the key in.
Think I need to get some fuel in it to eliminate the fuel light.
What does yours do?
 
Mine does that after a wash also, no matter what the fuel level is.
I have tried dielectric grease on the electric connections, covering the dash/killswitch when washing and even unplugging the fuel sensor while its happening.
I just push the killswitch now and forget about it, it comes good once dry :)

If you find a solution please post up :)
 
Thats Cool then, thanks for the reply. It's put my mind at rest. I went to it this afternoon and its not doing it anymore.
Spoke to the guy I bought it off too who is a Husky dealer. I only started saying the words 'I've just washed my bike' and he finished off the rest of sentence by saying 'has your dash come on' so I guess it's a common one. I was considering buying a cheap leaf blower to dry it off once I had washed it!

I can't believe the damage I inflicted on it at the weekend in 3 hours of enduro riding! It was completely mint before I got hold of it. It now has a broken fork guard, bent clutch lever, a bolt missing from the seat subframe, bent radiator, lots more scuffs and scrapes. I only dropped it a couple of times
