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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey guys,

Today I went for a ride in the forest, going very slow I dropped the bike , picked it up pushed the button had absolutely nothing , no noises or anything. I end up getting towed back out the forest by a buddy. I took it to a car wash after I finished the bike fired back up again, get it home bike fires up and runs fine. Whilst in the bush we tried 3 new fuses but still nothing. The bike obviously has a gremlin,
Can anybody tell me where I start looking?


Thanks.
 
Checked battery terminals they're fine

No wouldn't start with kick start either, when I pushed the button there was no fuel pump prime, there was nothing.
The bike is starting and running fine now, but I need to find the problem, don't want to get stuck in the middle of the forest again.
 
My fuel pump just stopped working when it failed. Never worked again. Id check everything from the ignition first. Does your dash light up when the pump wont prime?
 
Pick up some silicon dielectric grease and go through your plugs. Major plugs to check/grease are the ecu plug under the tank, the computer/speedometer and around the start solenoid. Personally, I'd check them all.

Go with what he said ;). It probably is something simple. If it is the fuel pump there are options other then one from husky. Zip ty sells them too
 
I hear you man. I bought a brand new husky te-310 just last july. it was a 2011 model but brand new never started 0 miles on it. I paid $6300 cash for it out the door. I have only put about 400 miles on it and have already blown though about 30 fuses on it. 28 of those were the 20A fuse. sometimes the bike wouldn't start at all with button start or kick after a long ride. but I found out if I let the engine cool down for about 30 minutes after a long ride then the pump prime will come on and let me start the bike. one time the main fuse blew in the middle of the street my fuel injection shut down speedo lights everything I had to push it off the road and called off at work. the 20A fuse has been a serious problem. I never know when its going to blow. sometimes I will get 15 or 16 miles out of it before it blows but last night it blowing every quarter mile. I went through a brand new package of 6 - 20A fuses in just 7 miles. people kept flashing their lights at me and honking at me like get the fuck off the road with that bike. don't these people understand im not the perpetrator of this situation. the dealership I bought it from rejected me for repair service on it I took it back about a month ago. so I tried a few other husky dealers in my city. one dealership was trying to fix it and it blew 3 20A fuses with the engine in idle while they were trying to troubleshoot the problem. then the main fuse blew. the mechanic went to his car and got me a main 20 fuse from his car. they gave up on it. they said the huskys that were built by bmw only certain dealerships can work on them. they only work on the ktm produced huskys. then I took it to another dealer who kept it for 3 weeks and then finally gave it back to me because they couldn't get parts for it. last night was ridiculous. after I pulled off the road for the 4th time to change the 20A fuse again the last fuse in my package of fuses and after driving about 4 miles in the dark trying my damnest not to get pulled over by a cop for no lights I finally pulled into a grocery store and bought an eveready square shaped flashlight and some really strong masking tape. I taped it to the front fender and wow. a shadetree mechanic half ass front light to get me home. I even passed a cop and he didn't even pull me over.
 
Hey Kawasaki that's no good at all especially only after 400 miles, I must say this is the first time the bike has ever let me down since I bought it new.

I didn't mention before yesterday's ride I had a radiator repaired as it was twisted so I had the fuel tank off also,

Could I have done something wrong reinstalling everything?
 
Yes. Check around the radiator for any impacts or possible cut wires that might be shorting. A fair amount of loose and bundled wires pass through and around.
 
Hey guys,

I got the bike back from the bike shop today, the problem was a corroded connection on the wire that runs down from ignition along side the right radiator , bike mechanic said it was a mongrel to find.

Thanks for all your advice and help.
 
Glad you got it sorted out. These bikes are generally rock solid but being race bikes the clearances are tight and they require some steadfast inspection to assure the wiring is tip top. Enjoy:cheers:
