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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi Everybody !

looking for any suggestions to get my 2011 sms 630 running. bought it with 8000 k on it. ran flawless till 9500 k. Left it out in the rain for a few weeks now she wont start. changed the gas, cleaned the plug, spark looks good. checked and cleaned all the wiring connections I can find. now it starts, runs for a few seconds and dies. wont start with starter lever engaged. wont start with the throttle on. only when you let go of the throttle. some people say its the ECU but that's a $300 guess. any other suggestions ??? any help appreciated.

Had an identical problem. The connector for the Temp Coolant Sensor on the rear of the cylinder was full of water. Dried it out, but still wouldn't start. I ended up replacing it and she started right up. The part is only about $10 from Halls. Fixed it right away.
 
I had my air flow sensor and connector fill up with water. ( left hand sensor on throttle body ) had to remove sensor from throttle body and shake the water out,dry with hair drier or sun, took the connector apart to remove trapped water, pack with dielectric grease and all is good.
 
Makes me wonder about my choice of bikes. Thought I was going the right direction by choosing a Husky. But now I'm wondering what good is a dual sport bike that you don't want to get wet ???
 
The bikes are great. A little preventative measures is all it takes, take apart all connectors and fill with dielectric grease. Any fuel injected bike will require some forethought. My bike has been through many a thunderstorm and water crossing.
 
Thanks for the feedback. sorry for taking so long I was on holidays, (w/o my bike : ( . So what does the dielectric grease do ? does it create better contact? or does it insulate against contact ? or just helps keep the water out ?

So I got my bike back from the shop and it is finally running. IT WAS the fuel pump. They said it did not have enough pressure. I did test it, but I never measured the pressure.
