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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE/TXC 449/ 511 Motominder hour meter installation

I installed my moto minder hour meter a while back and wanted to share how I did it - hard wire method.

First I disconnected the battery earth, installed the hour meter at the back of the airbox under the seat and removed the plug for the fuel pump relay located located on the left hand side of the bike behind the radiator fan.

I then removed the blue w/ green stripe wire (not to be confused with green w/ blue stripe wire ha ha) using a small zip tie tip.

I then soldered the red wire from the moto minder to the blue/green wire (fuel pump power supply 12v), attached the black motomonder wire to the battery -ve terminal and put it all back together.

Works great.
 
Trail Tech has one that's a tachometer to, has a 7 year battery no cutting into or soldering wires... Costs about $40
 
The motominder has 2 install options, solder or wrap the red wire around the ignition coil. I couldn't make it work consistently by wrapping around the ignition coil, plus you have to unwrap/re-wrap every time you remove the coil or plug if you want the wires tidy. This method is actually easier than messing around with the coil wrap, and I'm not the best at soldering!
 
I followed this proceedure and the motominder seems to work however my speedo is jumping up to 500kmph and then to 0kmph constantly. A related problem or Something dofferent?
 
Unlikely to be related unless the new hour meter wires run close to the speedo wires and are causing interference owing to the lack of shielding. Make sure you have adequate clearance between the new wires and the existing speedo wires.
 
I've been running mine in the same manner on 3 of my bikes, 2011 TC449, 2013 TC449, and 2012 TXC511. No issues and they hold up great.
