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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have a 2008 sm i brought it to work to get some work done and its been kicked over mutiple times while i had the battery disconected, when i came back to it its completly dead nothing happens at all i dont really understand the whole battery/kickstart it says quite firmly in the manual never to try and start the bike with the battery disconected but i dont understand what damage has been done, has anybody any idea? Really struggling with this
 
Ok, so it had no live battery connected when you kicked it over and it started, were the wires touching the frame when it was kicked? And now you kick it over with the ignition on and the engine won't start, is this correct?
 
its got a battery? no clue here any one else?
may have overloades the cdi but im just guessing i have no clue with batterys thats my womans department.
 
If you are saying you have no battery connected now and it won't start, try connecting a fresh battery and trying that. And if it has got a battery or you're putting a new one in, check the fuses. Mine are under the seat so presumably the sms's are there too. If you find those, take them, hold them in good light and see if you can see a break inside. If there is, buy a new fuse, install then try again. I would guess that you've perhaps sat on a wire for the battery and it's touched the frame as you've kicked it over, science is not my strong point but I got told not to touch the wires together o on the frame because it will short out the circuit, hence the need for fuses
 
The battery might act as a voltage regulator to the lighting system, and the worse you can do by running it without the battery is burn all the lightbulbs. The ignition part is probably a completey separate AC CDI setup, and wouldn't be affected. I'm speculating, I'd need a quick look at the proper wire diagram to know for sure, but I'd be surprised if it could hurt the ignition in any way. Pull the sparkplug and check for spark , then you'll know.:thumbsup:
 
Mm still stuck there was a blown fuse but there is still no sign of life the batterys fine thanks though im glad you think no damage has been done kicking it over with no battery the blown fuse makes sense but why is everything suddenly died everything was fine (electrics wise) before it was kicked over with no battery im going to get to the bottom of it somehow cheers guys
