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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

And off to ZipTy it goes...

Apparently they were damaged beyond repair. Rather than contacting UPS, we decided to fit some forks off of an old mountain bike we had lying outside on the scrap pile. The ecu made it fine, I was able to load BMW map#0 on without a problem. This should yield the lowest power setting of about 19 Hp.

I actually tested your ecu out before remapping it. As I suspected, it was far too lean for my fmf system, very poppy and flaming out. I updated to BMW map#3. No more poppies, thing made my 511 roar, felt good and that was in map mode #1. I updated 4 ecu's today. :thumbsup:

Does your ecu re map help the 2011 449 TXC ?
 
I'll probably end up doing the job, just as well, I'm better than Ty anyway, hey, I'm pretty good with pliers. Old trick I learned, when the springs don't come out, just pull harder! Whatcha mean? Those vice grip marks were already there?!? and those dings aren't mine. Motor oil is just as good as fork oil... I'll fix 'em real good.

This made me laugh as I recently sent out the suspension from my KTM 300 to be redone. The owner called back to tell me that someone had already gone through them and replaced a few suspension specific nuts and trinkets with ace hardware stuff. He had to confirm the year of the bike as the internals of the forks were so unrecognizable he thought I told him the wrong year. To top it off he said the forks were filled with 10w40 motor oil. :eek: haha ohhh the joys of buying used dirt bikes.
 
So... Terry Davis (Ty's Dad) walks into ZipTy offices today, gives me this odd look and says "What the F*** is that"? He points to a large stain on the carpet. Apparently when you ride motorcycles in the Northwest, the forks become filled with water (or so I'm told, never seen it but okay). And when Danny pushed the release valve, out came a surprise... haha

:D/:eek: Well i have ridden that in torrential rain many times and last ride was deep water crossings. I think I need to ditch the bleeders, I think they must leak. As i told Tinken on the phone, welcome to the NW :)
 
Hopefully Danny got your shocks all packaged up today, if not, Monday. Did you order TC header parts yet? Can't wait for you to try your megabomb. We've had really great results from the ecu upgrade, users have said they had snappier throttle response and more power.
 
I had a chance today to play with your forks. They work beautifully. I know, I shouldn't ruin the surprise, but I'm jealous, they are super spongy plush for the small bumps and tighten up progressively without the use of progressive springs.

I'm jealous too. Sure wished my forks came out like that. :(
 
So.. Did you ever make it home or did you get lost in a potato field?? I'd like to hear your feed back on the ecu remap and your thoughts on adding the JD to it afterwards?

Home, lots of work and cleanup before i can get to the 511. Hope to ride it this weekend as my 165 is needing some love after hammering it and then a big get off leaving the rear brake farked up, pipe smashed, peg sagging.
