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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Intermitten "fail" screen and blinkers not working

Ive owned my 2011 te449 for about 2 months now. I had to replace the stator shortly after purchasing the bike but other than that no issues. Went for a ride last weekend and noticed my screen said "fail". The bike ran fine so I ignored it. It would go away and come back on with shutting bike off. It has been doing this the last week on a off. Sometimes it comes on while i am riding and sometimes before i start engine and sometimes it never comes on. Curious as to what causes the "fail" screen.

Also i purchased the bike without rear blinkers. I installes blinkers but they wont work. There is a green and brown wires behind tail light and one gets power with bike on. I am assuming this was for a license plate light. Does this need to be hooked up for turn signals to work?

Thanks in advance for all the help.
 
I also have the intermittent "FAIL" signal on my 2011 TE449 but everything seems to run and work fine so I just ignore it also.
 
I put cheap after market blinkers on my 13 TE449. If I reverse the leads they don't work, weird but true. Try swapping polarity on the lights.

Not weird. The third letter in LED stands for 'diode'... electricity will only flow through in one direction.
 

Possible you have a dirty/corroded connector for the efi system somewhere.
It's a good idea to get some dielectric grease for the treminals. Go through one connector at a time, spray with a good electrical cleaner & treat with the grease as you reconnect them.
Also avoid using a pressure washer on any electrical connections when you wash the bike.

You may have another fault, but that's a good place to start.
