Third item is gasket for brass plug. I had to remove the tank to get at the lamda connector. As said earler, bike is transformed after PU install.

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

The other end of of the lambda sensor plugs into the wiring harness up under the tank. The 3rd part you speak of is the washer for the brass sensor hole plug.

Thanks, it looks like I'll have to take the tank off in order to get at this thing. I wonder if I can just re-use the washer/gasket off of the lambda sensor?

Not sure what my dealer has done as I still have the Lambda sensor still installed, dealer said he was using a part from the TE300..........I am confused now does this mean I haven't had a power up kit fitted. The bike now runs so much better and does not stall so something has been done.

Thats wierd? You'd have to lift the tank to see if the O2 sensor is plugged in...but thats kind of a pain in the ass. I would just call and ask. why have a dead O2 sensor in the exhaust disturbing air flow for no reason? Auto parts stores have a 15mm oil plug that fits the hole. Think the oil plug is $3.

Thanks for the help guys.
It took about 6 hours and one trip to home depot for more zip-ties, but I managed to change the oil, clean the steel filters, replace the oil filter, and take half of the damn bike apart to get at the lambda sensor harness to install the cheater plug. The hardest point was getting the damn 630 logo plastic pieces off the bottom front of the front plastics, those things are a total pain to pry off. That was certainly 0-60 for bike maintenance. I see why people take theirs to a shop!
The power-up kit and dialing down the idle made an instant difference. Steady idling, predictable throttle response, and more power.

Yes, harness is under the tank. Detailed instructions on the site here. The third item is a copper sealing washer for the brass sensor plug. Supposedly there are oil pan drain plugs for certain cars that have the same thread size and pitch that can be used. It is also a standard O2 sensor size so any plug for any sensor will work. They are about $5 at an auto parts store vs. the $18 for the factory one. However I did safety wire mine to be sure it wouldn't fall out somewhere on the trail.
The plug-in resistor can also be made from parts sourced from an electronics supply. Details on that here on the site as well.

That's what I did. $3 oil pan bolt from Autozone, not in the nuts/bolts section but back with oil filters. I believe application was for a Mazda, M18-1.5 threads. I didn't use the sealing washer that came with it as it didn't look very heat resistant. I figured just an exhaust so torqued down bolt into the bung without a washer. I'd be very surprised if it ever leaked and even if it did wouldn't affect much anyway.

Once I got the 630 logo pieces off, I left them off. People ask what size the bike is now all the time, so it's a trade off.

They are definitely a PITA. The bottom is fairly easy to pop out but not the top. I think they were designed to flip up and remove the screw.
As far as the emblem, the thing isn't 630cc anyway.
It's better than the giant '630' on the back, that's for sure.

I agree, however the option to remove the large logo isn't there without replacing plastic!They are definitely a PITA. The bottom is fairly easy to pop out but not the top. I think they were designed to flip up and remove the screw.

the problem with the scenery is it is now snowed in, it is now Ski-doo instead of Husky!Hell, for that scenery, I'd take the big numbers any day, even in pink.
