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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Livin' It Up!
I'm having a devil of a time finding ignition key blanks. There is a part number, but my dealer sez that nothing is available. He's trying to contact the Husky rep. but no luck so far. Anyone have an idea of where to get blanks? I just have one key, and today I'll hit the Aprillia and Ducati dealers to see if they use a similar Zadi ignition switch.

For a 630? I think they use a different key than other Huskys. I ran into this same problem last week. Placed an order from dealer and was informed that p/n 800098063 for 630 key blank is not available and no superceded p/n listed either. I didn't research further as I was buying the blank for a third key copy so not critical. What I really want to find is a larger (taller) key blank so ignition is easier to turn when wearing winter gloves. I figured if I wait awhile the locksmiths will have generic blanks avaiulable and they always tend to be much larger anyway.

When I got my TE630 in June 2011 I got 2 new keys cut straight away and haven't used the originals since. I just went to a good locksmith (Bensons at Alexandria, Sydney) who some car dealers use and recommend when their customers can't afford to pay the rip off prices for OEM keys (can easily be $400+ here in Oz).

They had the blanks on the rack and I was done in less than 10 minutes. The keys look fine and work as well as the originals. Can't remember the price, but not much. Their website is:

Went to my favorite key shop, in a part of town with lots of Vespas and Italian scooters, and the owner was outside chatting with another customer. He looked at the bike from 6 feet away, focused on the key slot on the side panel, and said "I can make that." He went inside and by the time I got my gloves off he had one made already! 'Got 2 for $6.50. So, it was no problem after all. No scooters in your town, there might be an issue.
 
I had the same issue over the summer... None available from Husky. I ended up over at a local locksmith as well. She didn't have an issue making one, just cost an arm and a leg- $11!
 
Here is a readily available key blank for the 630. Any locksmith in the US can get it.

Not on any cross reference lists though.

I saw this listing on Ebay and key looked identical to ours. My locksmith ordered the blank on a gamble and sure enough fits/works perfect. Better than stock as key head is a little meatier so easier to grab and turn with gloves on.

That's handy info. I found the blanks at Reeds Key Shop over in the Montrose. Italian scooters use the same key. The one I got has a blue plastic tip that is taller than the stock key and easier to get my fingers on.
