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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fan installation for a 05 TE510

Hello all,
I have hooked up a fan to my bike, operated by a manual switch and using the bike's battery. I would like the fan to be able to run only if the bike's running, so I tried using a 12V relay connected to the bike's generator to turn on the supply for the fan. However the voltage isn't high enough to drive the relay, so I'm gonna try using a 6V relay instead? My question is - will it work? Is there a better solution than this? Thanks.

I don't think so, the stator puts out AC and it will vary depending on RPM. On my 05 TE510 I used a small glue on thermal switch which I glued to the bottom of the radiator, it comes on when the radiator gets to 185 degrees.

Check these out, you can get any temp range you want- http://catalog.selcoproducts.com/vi...reset-1-2-disc-thermostats-close-on-risebkup?

That is such a great idea, thank you. Will try to source for 1 in the local electronic shop.
Any special type of glue needed?
