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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

so last night we had alot of rain and this morning it wont start and it was uncovered.. whats the run down on checking stuff to get her back up and running? any help would be apreciated thanks
 
ya it did but wouldnt start so i drained all the gas pulled plug out shot a flame into cylinder to see if i was grtting gas and not water and ignighted so i put all new gas in. hooked charger up and just turned over till it started to start, pain in my ass but got it running 2 hours later and my first stop was buying a cover ha
 
Derek,


You must check the Electronic Throttle body connection. This connection is on the left side of the machine near the cylinder. That connection wasn't designed properly because it’s upside down so it will contain water. Disconnect it and see. You may even see a little mold. If this was a continuous problem that unit may be fried. The only way to know this is Ibeat. You have to connect it when the bike is cold. Start it and you will see some haywire readings. You can’t get the bike to run correctly if this is fried. You have to load the connection with grease and electrical tape the entire thing. Let me know if this worked.
 
I had a cracked spark plug boot causing a lot of trouble on mine. Check it! The plastic inside the rubber can break up and mess you all up!

That's interesting. I haven't heard that one.

I have heard water pooling in the spark plug tunnel causes grounding/arcing, etc .

Thanks.
 
Just found this thread. Im having the same problem, sort of. Was riding it yesterday in rain and it just died. Wouldnt restart. I could not hear the fuel pump running but i could hear the computer/relay signaling the pump to turn on. After letting it sit overnight, it started up fine. I just checked that throttle body plug and it had water but also started with that unplugged, so i dont see that being the problem.

Any suggestions?
