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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2009 TE310: Fix for hot start issue - reset TPS and check valves

He who dies with the most toys wins...
Model: 2009 TXE310 (6000km on the odo). I thought I would invest in an iBeat cable so purchased the parts off ebay and setup the software today. The TPS was set to 962mV. I warmed the engine and reset it to the "read value" of 972mV. My default CO settings are CO1=115, CO2=107 and CO1=105. Never touched them and see no reason to change them. The engine had the power up mods installed by the dealer when I purchased it new so they may have changed them from 100,100,100.

The bike has always been hard to start when hot. It was like it wasn't getting enough fuel and I had to give it some throttle to get it to start. It now starts first time effortlessly. The iBeat software is basic however really handy to check your bike is setup correctly and read any error codes.

My bike has always revved well and never had any deceleration popping or tuning issues. My only gripe was the hot starting problem however I'm glad that's sorted.

p.s.
I wanted to quieten the bike so bought a dB Killer insert and gave it a try. It made a chirping sound at idle and seemed slower to rev.
I thought I'd give it a proper test on the trail and was amazed. The added back pressure due to the restriction improved torque significantly. I was going up hills (graded roads) in 6th gear (14-50 sprocket setup) and it was spinning the rear tyre at speed. It never did that without the dB Killer.

Power is fun but torque is better...
