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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

FE/FC FE501 Bumpstart Capacitor with Kickstart Kit

Been trying to research this with little luck. FE 2017 501 does not have a bump start capacitor and I was considering adding one. However if the lithium battery goes completely dead as can happen with lithium, then it won't have enough juice to charge the capacitor correct? So, I was considering purchasing a kickstart kit. Does anyone know if the stator will charge a bumpstart capacitor when kickstarting?
 
Slaven's racing has a video about it that might answer your question better than I can, but as I understand it the capacitor doesn't need to be charged as much as it needs to be there to remove voltage spikes that confuse the ECU.
Link to video.
 
Carrying a spare battery is a simple solution. It doesn't take much of a lithium battery to start a motorcycle.
