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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc WR300, does no factory dash = indicators not working?

So I replaced my factory dash with a trailtech unit after the mounts snapped.
At the same time I removed and disconnected all the road running gear (except the headlight).

Now I want to start doing some enduro events and possibly the odd road ride down the local shops, I need to hook up everything.

Everything seems ok, rear brake light is fine off the foot and hand lever. Didn't notice the rear plate light but the headlight worked fine still so presuming that is fine also. Only thing not working is the indicators. The switch block did feel a bit crusty (dirt and grime), so gave that a heft dose of WD40 which freed it up bit, still not perfect but a lot better.

So my question is, could not having the factory does plugged/wired effect it? I had a thought perhaps the indicators pass through the dash (for notification lights), so maybe that's not completing the circuit?

Any help?

Cheers,
Tim
