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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Washed some mud off my 510, swapped handle bars, wheels set, put dielectric grease on O2 sensor plug and changed PCIII maps.

Turned the key on, no fuel pump prime and neutral light starts flashing and no lights on the PCIII. Won't start. ::censored:

Remove PCIII, same thing. :banghead::banghead:

Put PCIII back inline, still nothing. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Somebody just take this dam thing.... PLEASE!

Step away from your bike.
Go have a beer (or other beverage).
Then come back and retrace your steps.
Look (outside the box). It's most likely something very simple.:D
When you turn the key on...What code is the green light flashing?
I won't even mention the kill button...we all been there before.
Good luck.:cheers:

Ouch! All your little head banging smileys are giving me a headache.:doh:
 
Fuel pump prime is function of "switch on" input..wont be the kill switch shorted

its possible when you swapped the bars.....one of the switch connectors has pulled apart...or one of the pins has been pushed out >???

sorry to hear this.....Its a real pain :excuseme:
 
This is past ridiculous, it is always something with this bike. I spend way more time working on it than riding it.

I've looked throught the shop manual a few times and I don't see anything about a "fault code" that breaks down what the problem is, just a general fault.

It acts like the stop button is in, but there's the fault flashing.

I don't know if I should get a lawyer or a carb.

Yeah, those things are crap, I feel for ya..... know what.. I'll take it
off your hands for you and I'll pay for shipping plus I'll throw in a
six pack of quality beer or better yet a pint of Kessler's or Jim to
drown your sorrows with.
 
Have you tried calling a dealer to see if they will interpret the flashing code?

I looked through the service manual and didn't find anything so I'm guessing the info is held by dealers.
 
have you tried putting gas in the tank?

have you then tried holding a match over the tank?

wait before you did that you should have insured it!

well this whole post was backwords, wel i hope you read instructions all the way through before you begin the task at hand.

hmmm.......
 
Yes, there's fuel in it. Still fuel from the last time I tried to race it and the clutch pooped.

The way fuel runs all over when you disconnect the line from the tank, it's a wonder that it hasn't caught fire.

You can only imagine the frustration I've had with this bike. I've DNF'd most of my races the past year, and it's left me stranded in the middle of nowhere 3 times and most two other. That's more than all the bikes I've ever owned put together.
 
I sympathize- I wish you could get a break.... I don't even know what to say in terms of tech advice at this point- I would take it to a dealer and tell them to put it on life support until they can sort it out- its not leading much of a life at this point.

Story: my buddy had problem after problem with an intended track bike a cbr600- all issues were above him- I helped him out of many and one day he offerred to sell it to me for nearly nothing- I went over and found his problem. Another week passed and he told me to just come pick up the bike cause he was going to push it into the street. He would not take no for an offer and wanted gone not fixed just gone. I took it home and the next day took a look at it during my lunch break. I changed the main fuse- it started- went back to work and told him to pick up HIS bike from myself. He did not want it back. For the next year and a half I had no issues with the bike and offered him to take it back because I'd just sell it at some point. He did not want it back and wanted me to keep it- cause he just didn't want to care for the beast anymore... I never had an issue did some improvements and one day sold it.

so who knows- faulty ecu or something weird -:excuseme:

good luck, I hope its a cheap /easy fix:cheers:

TXC!!!
 
I feel for you! You've done so many MOD's to that bike...it's ridiculous. The only issue I've had is the stalling at slow speeds over nasty stuff, which I've all-but-solved by going through it faster. I just launch over the nasty stuff (most of the time) and my Husky eats it up (most of the time). Truth be told, I was just commenting to my buddy Brett (just yesterday) how tough my Husky is and how reliable it is...considering all that I put it through. There are 5 NW guys (including me) that have put 2008 TE's to the absolute test! That being said, I think you should put it back to stock and sell it. Hopefully, Husky will come out with an upgraded WR 300 for you or maybe you can get an 09 TXC with a carb.
 
Henny Youngman actually started that, but Rodney brought it back and it became his by line.

Yes, I should have got a TXC. I looked at a TXC carb, just to see what it would cost to swap, and Husky wants $1500 for the carb, alone.:eek:

I picked up a used '07 WR250 from the OFG two weeks ago, but I sort'a got took. It's a little roached, but I'm getting it fix up. I should have it ready in a few days. That is unless I find something else wrong with it. This thing must have been at the bottom of a lake for a few days, or something.

I got it because all of the problems I'm having trying to race this 510. It's basically just a 510 with a PU kit with lowered compression and a PCIII, now. It's still got a lot of Ti hardware and stuff, but I dropped the Rekluse and the SHOWA TC's are on the WR now.

If the fuel pump is shot on this thing, then it will just have to wait to be converted to a carb. If I'm going to have to make that sort of investment in something so delicate, then I'll just put the money toward converting to a carb.

But, like Rodney Dangerfield says, "I can't get no respect" from these Husky's.
 
Check the fuses under the sidepanel - I can't remember which one it is but one fuse feeds the power to the injector / fuel pump circuit and if that fuses pops the ECU thinks there is an EFI fault as there's nothing coming back from the injector.

Also if the injector wiring is disconnected or damaged, then the fuel pump won't run. Software seems to say 'no injector, therefore no need for fuel pressure'.

The flashing neutral light just shows there is an EFI/ECU fault - there is no code to interpret.

If all else fails plug it in to Ibeat, that will tell you what is at fault.


Good luck!

A fellow TE510 rider on the Cannontrek 1100 mile ride had the same issue and it was one of the connectors under the seat that was not completly connected. You may want to scrutinize all the connections under the tank and seat along with the fuses.
 
Thanks guys. Really good insight. :notworthy:

I had to go to work so I just threw my hands up and walked away, pretty much like the first post says, that's as far as I got. You know, sort'a like , "Put down the tool and back away from the bike.":busted:

I got home from work about 5am, walked in the garage, gave the 510 the finger and messed around with the WR for a bit, before coming in and going to bed.

I think it's just jealous of the WR.
