More issues with systems integration into KTM/Husky. 🙁

Public KTM/Husky sites now broken. You will notice if you click back button on browser and click on a different diagram, it loads the diagram you where previously looking at; making it an even more painful and useless website to use.  Spent ages trying to workaround/ understand this brain damage but unable to and cannot figure out why, so I am disabling it as too unreliable to be used as a data source for fetching fiche diagrams.

For the login based dealernet websites: I've modified code slightly to try and decode bike names a little better. It is difficult, because names are written differently, sometimes for example you'll have year and country code in <>, but other times it is embedded in the model name itself. It looks like it was hand typed (by a trained monkey?), instead of computer generated from discrete database fields, so parsing/decoding important information such as year and country is now alot harder and reliable results cannot be as readily guaranteed. Using this data is far from ideal, but it is all that there is now. Consider this one: is it 2012 or 2013?

Cross fingers and hope that brain damage on public parts sites doesn't spread to the login only sites.
