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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Electrical Problem

I'm after any help or direction on fixing an electrical problem.

I was riding home after a ride and my 09 te510 coughed and spluttered to a stop - the fuel light was coming on and off as it happened even though I had a nearly full tank. I also noticed the horn was playing up as I was coming to a stop (I was trying to signal my mate in front of me).
At this stage, when I turned the key, the fuel light came on and when I hit the button to pressurize the fuel pump, nothing happened; the start button did nothing either.

I replaced fuses, disconnected battery overnight, unplugged and plugged everything, and checked most wires for short circuits with nothing found. Once it was all back together, I turned the key, and nothing came up on the display at all (none of the usual lights and no text either); however, when I turn the key off, some typical text flashes up and then then nothing is displayed after that. At no stage have I seen any "FAIL" text displayed.

I'm really confused about what it could be and its driving me nuts!

So any help would be awesome.

Cheers,

Mitch
 
The fuel pump may have come unseated, this is common on those bikes. If that is the case then more than likely your fuel sensor wire may have also broken off or all of them if the pump assembly is flopping around in the tank. Have a look inside the tank or drain and remove and pull the fuel pump. Be careful of the quick disconnect on the fuel pump assembly, it's fragile but serviceable.There are several threads on here that address that isssue with the fuel pump.
 
Yes I checked the battery and it had charge.

I had already pulled the fuel pump out a few weeks ago and done the old cable tie trick as it was chugging alot - once I had done that it seemed fine for the next few rides. So I don't think it will be the pump, although I've got the tank off so I might as well check it anyway.

Cheers,

Mitch
