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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Running w/o headlight?

When I'd forget to turn on the headlight on my 07 TE450 (BD rewind) the fuse to the starter would go out and I'd have to kickstart it until the fuse was replaced.

Question is will it harm anything if the headlight isn't working while riding on my 09 TE450?

Thanks in advance
 
I pulled my headlight bulb out to maximize power for my radiator fan, plus it has burned out twice so thwe same as turned off, and never a fuse blown.

Looking at the service manual I think the regulator is also clamping the AC voltage. It may be faulty. With the load of the lamp on, the clamping is likely not required.
 
I put an HID on mine 510, I leave it off since HID dont like to start and stop much. I will turn it on for safety some times but norm leave off.

never give me trouble
