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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

[q] Te 630 Battery Removal, Fuse Box/relay Connection

Two questions (not related really)

a) on the new te 630 -- I cannot pull the battery out. I removed the rubber strap above, the wires but -- the battery still sits snug. I used pliers to to try to pull it out -- but it gets stuck somewhere. What's the trick to get it out ?

b) I am thinking to get one of the fuzeboxes from eastern beaver or riderswarehouse -- they allow for a 'relay' connection such that you can hook up accessories that would get voltage only when the ignition is on. For that to work however, I need to find a wire that is close by the control block/battery -- and that that wire gets current when the ignition is one (for example rear tail light). I need help locating a wire like that.

thank you in advance
 
Use two longish cable ties, each one looped around one of the battery terminals. That gives you two handles with which to pull the battery out. You may have to jiggle it about a bit. But it definitey works ok.
 
thank you,
I pulled it out. It was catching the rubber band hook on the way up. Just had to use a screw driver to guide while pulling it with pliers.
