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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Was my purchase a mistake? - SMR450 2010

Barely a month of me ownership and I believe the fuel pump is shot.

Today I parked the bike and went to restart 20min later- nothing.

The pump wont prime (the relays click)

Fuses are replaced - there is fuel in tank

I removed the pump, it did not slip off not any of the wires are loose. Connected the pump directly to the 12v - NOTHING and by the way, its hot to the touch.

Pretty much grabage i think.

I owned several bikes, and never had any sort of problems like this at 1250km of a BRAND NEW bike.

BS!

=(
 
If yours is like mine, it was manufactured in September of 2009. Your bike has 770 miles on it. The pump is varnished up and a new pump will fix it, and the 2010 Husky 450 motor is awesome, I have almost 5000 miles on my TE450 and it rips everything in its path. Replace the pump, get the bike dialed in, you wont regret it.

The bike was put together in October 2009.
Just don't think I should be replacing parts on a brand new bike.

Its a long weekend - no sm for me
 
Go check the Husaberg threads on KTM Talk.... You are not alone. Riding buddy has a 2011 FE450 with less miles than yours.... dead fuel pump. Welcome the EFI age.
 
Sorry to hear of your trouble. If you bought it new from a dealer then you know there is a 6 month warranty (USA) and Husqvarna would replace your fuel pump. If it's out of warranty there is the pump available by itself. http://www.ca-cycleworks.com/products/fuel-carbs/fuel-pump-for-fuel-injected-husqvarna-4-strokes
I would not say your purchase was a mistake. Husqvarna's are world class mc's. I have wondered if any one has tried soaking a gummed up fuel pump in kerosene or simmilar to bring it back to life?
 
Order a pump from ca cycle works and move on, Chris is a great guy
and super fast ship,also remove the check valve from your gas cap
vent line, mine malfunctioned and caused a vacuum to pull in the tank
which over heated my first pump and caused it to fail
 
Bring your bike to any Husky dealer and I am sure it will cost you nothing, I have already replaced 4 fuel pumps with full support from Husky. Make sure you get the new updated pump, it has more pressure and none of the mounting issues of the old style pump.
 
I had the same problem a month ago on my 2010 TE250. Fuel pump died on me in a trail... Had to push my brand new bike(700 km on it) back home. Brought it to a dealer and they replaced the pump on warranty. Hope it doesn't happen again!!
 
Fix it and ride the piss out of it brotha! My '04 SM is a great reliable bike and a total bad ass in the twisties:notworthy:
 
UPDATE_ been a week without the SMR. Was looking around for a solution and the dealer I bought the bike from (used) called me back and is sending me a CA-Cycleworks fuel pump for free he has in stock.

hopefully this puts an end to all problems.

Are you talking about the green filter in the rubber line?
 
Tech 3 said:
Yes it is a one way check valve that is on the rubber line coming out of the gas cap

Got rid of it. And now that I think about it- there were times when I would pull the vent hose off the cap and hear the air (vacuum) :(
 
I saw you have a stock fuel pump assy w/o pump, how much you looking to get for it? Im looking for one for my 2nd tank, so i dont have swap em over everytime. Ive got the CA pump now for about 1k miles and no issues yet.

I bought this one and mounted it in my Safari tank- http://www.af1racing.com/store/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=5926 Works great and its totally plug and play, and the price is a hell of a lot better than a replacement Husky pump.

sharpie1- that is a surprising find- so many have scrambled looking- and you find a reasonable full repacement. True Plug and play- wow: plastic elbow and all? :thumbsup:

That does look exactly the same as mine- cept' the fancy hose. What model and year bike did you fit that into- just for reference?

It's on on an '09 TE450, I've used it for about 500 miles so far with no issues, I did safety wire the pump in so it wont move before installing.
