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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Finally had a failure on my TE511

pretty sure it is a bad leg on the stator. Found a used one for cheap. Will test soon and get that bad boy on the trail again. Rode a TXC449 a bunch this last weekend not chopping at the bit to get mine rolling again.
 
The 2011 stator connection is one of those connections that are not sealed. Few power wash jobs and water will start to corrode your connection. Relays will also corrode due not being sealed. Good to use some Dielectric grease on all none sealed connections :thumbsup:
 
Another great alternative is a product called ACF-50 used on aircraft for corrosion prevention.
It actually gets under the corrosion to base metal.
I get a lot of bad solonids that just spray with it and they start working again.
Can find it at aircraft pilot supply stores.

I know how it is, it is really cold here, and I still get out and ride and the old,WR is a willing partner, ridings great
when it's cold, working on them isn't. LOL
 
What were your voltage readings out of the stator (3 phases) before and after the swap? Would be useful to have a sense for "what is bad" for the next time I need to troubleshoot this.

I had a stator pop on an old KLR once, definitely can be hard to diagnose.

One of the three legs was still putting out juice but it was low. Stator looked new, not burned or physical damage. Starting to wonder if it was the external wires as they were routed funky. Maybe one was rubbed and grounding or something.
 
Why type of battery are you running? I had something just like this happen and I tested everything but it turns out my lifepo battery was bad. Battery tested good static but ends up there was a bad cell inside that would short out under engine vibes/rpms. Had me chasing my tail for a week before I finally took the battery out and shook it with a volt meter hooked up and the voltage dumped to 8vdc. Ballistic EVO2 8 cell if anyone cares. Don't waste your $ on one of those POS batteries. Glad you got it sorted. BTW, my dampener came today:applause: Thanks
 
New stock type battery. Everything seems good to go. Volt meter shows 14 when idling like before.

On a side note I have to say the inside of the motor looks very nice. Very good looking parts, nice aluminum reusable gasket that has never leaked a drop, starter gear looks new, everything looks new and high quality. Impressive.
 
Had an issue with my 2012 TE511 ... the 3ph AC generator output wiring was bundled with the other unshielded DC and computer wiring ... I separated the generator AC wiring and routed it separately up to the rectifier/regulator behind the steering column ... runs smooth now no stalling or computer rebooting.
