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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Power Wash Now Won't Start?

2012 TC449 Mild power washed the bike today and it decided it's not gonna start for me. Directly after the wash it would start and run for 5 seconds then would cut out. Anyone know if these are susceptible to non starts when something is wet?
 
Tasha, that would be tough to diagnose by internet, but it has happened to me. The top 2 things I'd put on the list would be that switches/kill button/spark plug wire and cap, etc., got wet and need to dry out, or that water got on the filter and maybe sucked in a little bit. My usual approach: Park it in the sun for a few hours and service the air filter, and try again.

Thanks Pick, the way it cut out after 5 secs I figured it must be something to do with the kill switch. Sure enough water had ingressed into the snap connector effectively turning it off. Dried it off and all is well. I think I will insulate that particular connector as on my bike that appears to be a weak spot
