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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Trail Tech Striker Warning Settings

After my instrument cluster packed up I ordered a Trail Tech Striker.

I might still be able to get the original cluster going again (although everything I've tried so far has had no result), but I decided to bite the bullet and get the Striker because I needed the adjustable trip distance functionality. I also like the idea of seeing the engine temp (its supplied with an an inline water temp sensor) and voltage on the dislpay.

And in any event my old unit was filling up with dust, which you could see lying on the display beneath the screen, and the speed sensor cable keeps breaking, so a new one would be nice.

I was reading the Striker manual (being a nerd) and saw that you can set up triggers for low voltage and high engine temp warnings.

The unit has two warning LED's, one orange the other red. The orange is a "warning" condition the red is a "danger - do something about it now!" condition. You can set thresholds for each of the lights for both voltage and engine temp for each LED.

I was wondering what values to use?

Eg

Engine Temp Warning (orange LED) - 120 C?
Engine Temp Danger (red LED) - 150 C?

Low Voltage Warning (orange LED) - 10.5V?
Low Voltage Danger (red LED) - 9V?

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Standard electrics etc.

I'm told on the Wilddog forum that a bike radiator will boil at about 107 C. So the suggestion was to set the red LED to about 102-105 C.

I'll set the orange LED to about the temp that fan turns on, maybe a degree or so higher.

But any other thoughts welcome.
