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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Has anyone disconnected the GPS and run the bike

On 08-10 EFI big block bikes: Has anyone disconnected the single wire that connects the gear position sensor (GPS) and been able to run the bike without the GPS being connected? I tried the other day and it didn't seem to want to run. Also, I am thinking the GPS is getting wet on water crossings and grounding out, the bike dies and requires time to dry out. I have recreated it twice with hose water. Let me know if you know a way to eliminate this sensor, I have read that it makes very little difference in the way the bike runs.
 
I might be wrong here but think I remember some Baja racers blowing a husky up because of that not being connected. Must change the timing? I may be wrong but think i read that and figured i post so you did due diligence before causing damage.

Here's a post I found somewhere else, possible, this post was referencing a non-EFI bike.....

Hello all,
I just spoke to one of the husky tech seniors here in the north of europe, he said that the GPS does affect the ignition timing but very little.
He has tested with/without it and did not notice the difference....
...so - with my driving style the breakfeast choice will probably be more significant..

rather than eliminating the sensor, can you seal it?

I don't really want to eliminate the GPS, although I probably would if I knew if affected the bike very little. I really wanted to know if the bike would run without it, then I would get it wet again and see if it stalled out OR kept running, that would give me a 100% nod that it was the GPS getting wet . I can definitely waterproof/seal the unit, I just wanted to ascertain that the GPS IS my real problem and not something else getting wet, like the TPS.
