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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Replacement Speedo/odometer Sensor 2004

AA Class
Apparently after sending out my forks I must not have sufficiently tightened the bolts holding the brake stuff on and lost a bolt and broke the sensor. It only has two wires and seems like an 8mmx1.25mm thread. The thing was plastic. I can connect the odometer leads and get it to do a speed if done fast enough, similar for distance.

I was going to get one from Halls at over $60 and 12 to ship it but then I wasn't at the address for my card and had to give up. Most generic sensors now seem to have three wires. I ordered one off ebay that showed only two wires but got one with three and there is no way it works. It is way bigger in thread size.

Is there another option besides encouraging the prices of new parts from the pipeline with the new owners of the motorcycle division of Husqvarna?

It is a wr 250 if that matters. Kind of simple little device near the bars but it can be used to time a loop and mileage a course.
 
Probably 8mm x 1,25
Probably what the caliper attached to. I got one from Halls. They is had it in stock, It is not a plastic threaded piece for the sensor.

The next thing is to get it straight like a fork tube. Will try sun before an electric heat gun. Started out about 16 inch diameter after cutting the tape.

Do you think this is really a KTM era part or a repackaged earlier Husky era one?IMG_20210705_173045_600x1066_600x1066.jpg
 
Mine is zip tied to the brake line. I got one from Trail Tech awhile back and it was listed for a KTM .The earlier Huskys used a bicycle speedo on the off road WRs thats why it was plastic.
