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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

new Battery???

My 07 610 has the original battery in it. While riding I will get an intermittant flashing of the battery symbol and in the top left corner of the display "max" will also flash. Should I replace the battery? Or could there be a bad connection somewhere?
 
Check all of the molex connectors carefully, in particular, where the pins are crimped on the wires. I found several that had been over crimped which caused numerous electrical gremlins. This included a disappearing display, blown fuses and various lights not working. After inspection/repair all has been good. Also, put a dab of dielectric grease in the connectors to inhibit corrosion. Like willie said, check all the hard connections, it's a thumper after all, stuff WILL vibrate loose.

cheers,

Mike

Some may disagree but I'd go ahead and replace your battery before it leaves you stranded like mine did.
 
Thanks for the info guys. Weirdest thing happened last night on my ride home. My front turn signals stopped working, both of them. Rears worked fine, taillight and headlamp both worked, dash was good. I pulled the bike apart today figuring there was a pinched wire. No pinched wires, but did torque down all the connections to and from the battery (grounds, power leads etc) So just out of curiosity I switched my aftermarket signals that were on the bike with the stockers I took off awhile ago, and the stockers worked fine. What are the chances of both front signals dying at the exact same time. I've had some of the craziest things happen with this bike in the past 3 months I've owned it. It was raining this morning so I didn't get a chance to test the battery issue while riding.
 
Did the icon start flashing "after" you puy on the signals??? The icon is an "overcharge" warning, but don't worry nothing bad will happen. If you have a loose connection in a "hot constant" somewhere, usually the headlight, the icon will come on. Also, the low beam may have burned out, that will do it everytime. Anything that was a "draw" that quit working will cause that. good luck.....
