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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

How do u check it?

Got sparky at work to repair pick up cable that was broken(both wires) n intermittently makin contact givin me odd speed readings. Wasn't sure which wire was which after plug had cum off. Does it matter? He soldered up n heat shrinked etc makin all look pretty but wen I hooked it up the other day no dice! If incorrect orientation(had 50% chance ôf failure/success) would it not work at all?

Unit itself(trailtech endurance 2) gettin power n was workin fine(110 hours/4000km or so) n would work ok wen I worked out was a break in cable n squeezed it with hand while riding.
 
Just reachin...but maybe the solder changed the resistance of the line causing the pulses to become unreadable?
 
Are you wanting a used speedo sensor/cable? Pretty much all of the stock speedo units quit working in the first 6 months so there's got to be a bunch of them that people took off and put on the shelf.
 
Didn't wanna buy a newy if didn't hav too Doug. Still got unused speedo itself in box in garage. Jus wanted to check the cable to see if it's rooted. I thought u could put a multimeter on each end n it gave a certain resistance(clearly I am no auto sparky!)
 
Shawry I just checked my trailtech cable (never fitted to the bike) and best I can tell it's open circuit with no magnet contact and closed circuit with magnet contact. It was a bit fiddley to get the probes onto the connector pins in the plug but I'm sure the probes were correctly positioned.
 
Most of the time inductive circuits like that have about 130 ohms, if they are open they are bad. I use the ohm meter and spin the wheel and the ohm meter should fluctuate positive and negative as the magnet passes the sensor. I wouldn't assume the sensor is bad if the resistance isn't around 130 ohms until you get the spec from the manual.
 
Might email trailtech direct n c wat best way to check is. Wanna sell me ya spare cable if mines no good Oldscool?

Rode with a fella that ditched his speedo(ktm) altogether n jus uses a little GPS on the bars. I'm not fussed bout actual/average/Max speed, or ride/accumulated hours more jus the total km to monitor fuel consumption. Mite look into his set up(bout twice size of watch face)
