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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hourmeter 2013 TE449

Hi
Finally got my hands on a TE449, yes yes. I read here that 449 is missing a hourmeter, so I bought one with a cable to wind around the coil-cable. But they have a integrated coil fitted direct over the plug like modern cars.
Also, in the speedo there´s a mode which is not meantioned in the manual: 0:00 with a H underneath. I was sure this was a hourmeter, but it´s not counting still after 1,5hrs driving.

Help!?
 
i had the same issue on my 2013 TXC310r - wouldn't pick up the signal from just wrapping around the coil inside the head. so did it like i have done in the past on my yamaha WR (134 hour and working like a champ on that bike)

Disassembled the coil (spark plug) connector, stripped about 3/4" of wire on the hour meter, wrapped around tight to connector (it will all be wedged together inside the connector)







shoved both wired into the connector together and reassembled the pieces of the connector



plugged in, reads perfect. tach and all (bought combo tach/hour meter)

Of course, I ran the wires nice, taped up the section of sheath i split, etc. Looks pretty clean once done. also, the coil isn't then stuck to the motorcycle, it is free once unplugged like it is from the factory
 
You can also tap into the fuel pump relay and just jump a signal out of there, much easier to get to on the sid eof the bike. THen the hour meter see power when ever the fuel pump is running. Works great on both my TC449s.
 
Ok, so the meter picks up signal even from 12V? I thought it needed the high voltage signal after the coil.

Stephen:

I recently got an inductive tach, tried your connection recommendation, and it worked.

Two questions: Why does it work, and how did you connect? I just poked the wire in to test it, but have not yet permanently connected it.

Anyone else connect an hour meter same as pictured above? KGSloan hasn't been around for awhile.

Any reason the white wire is preferable over the blue one?

Disconnect battery first? :excuseme:
 
I used the two wire type from Motominder.
Red wire to the fuel pump positive, black to the engine earth.
Counts whenever the pump runs as mentioned above. IMG_20151218_202536.JPG
