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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

No low fuel indication

Well seeing the amount of only the surfers here it is more then a one and done .. but if you call the dealer for a replacement part and not what does the bike warranty has to offer I could only figure what the dealer would say... It is in the Husqvarna book on how to deal with items that are showing a possible situation consistant with others of the same condition.

I know alot of riders want to fix it and get riding but it doesn't help if the compnay is not seeing a light going on.. They need reporting and how items were fixed to help others rider know of the what if this happens and how to get going again..just a thought..

Ran into the same situation, no low fuel light. Ran out coming home, hit a gas station and the tank was full @ 1.39 gallons.
Thanks for the pics, now I know what to look for!

That's a different problem, the "slipping fuel pump", which is caused by the cable tie that secures the fuel pump in place swelling and letting the fuel pump move up out of position and suck air when the tank gets low. Search and you'll find threads with pictures of the problem and the fix. (Don't fix it by tightening or adding another cable tie in the stock location. Won't work long term if you do that.)

OK, Well I took my fuel pump out, and the good news is that I figured out why my reserve light is not working.

Interesting. This looks like either a newer or an older design than what I have seen before. Other ones I've seen have an orange ground wire soldered on where the sensor body attaches to the bracket, and the bracket looks different. Some of those more common ones have broken the orange wire off at the solder joint, or broken the solder joint attaching the body, or broken the bracket itself, but in a different spot than yours. So both designs are flawed, apparently, regardless of which is newer.

Here's a link to a thread with a pic of the other version I refer to.

You could quick and dirty fix it by soldering the ground wire on like the other design and cable tying it in roughly the right spot.
 
My 09 TE 450 just shut down. No fuel pump prime. Pulled the pump to find my low fuel sensor hang by only the wires and my ground wire to the pump pulled off. Repaired ground wire for the pump and ty-wired and zip-tying the sensor back on the shaft.
