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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Speedometer failure

I have a 2008 TE510 and today the speedometer lost it mind. Speed indication constantly changes. At a constant speed it's indicating anything from 1 to the speed I'm actually at. It changes constantly.

Has anybody else had this problem? Any ideas of how to trouble-shoot?
 
OK, so the stock speedo is likely dead. Has anybody replaced it with the trailtech Vapor? Is there a plug-n-play option?
 
Before you do, just check that the tiny magnet hasn't fallen out of its little holder on the front disc rotor.
If it has, supa-glue that sucker back in & all good.
Most of them stick to the disc somewhere nearby & not fly off.
 
On my 2009, it was intermittently showing the correct speed, and then completely died. I found that it was simply that the wire had broken. I jumped it, and never had another issue.

That's what I'm suspecting. I pulled the headlight off and reseated the the two plugs and looked for obvious wire breakage. Everything _looks_ OK, but I'll have to get in there with a meter and do some real trouble-shooting.

Where was the wire broken?
 
I sold the bike, but I believe it was either just before or just after the disconnect plug, but with enough wire to let me jump it with a quick splice connector.
