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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

CEL came on, Don't know where to start.

So did you replace the spark plugs?
Remove the ball bearing from the fuel overflow valve near the fuel cap?
 
New spark plugs are incoming. The parts store didn't have anything, so I've ordered the once recommended earlier in the thread.

Ball bearing from fuel overflow valve? I don't think that's been mentioned in the thread and it's not something I'm aware of. How could this effect the running of the engine?
 
Spark plugs might be the solution but a few of us have had issues with pressure buildup in the fuel tank. I don't know how or why it effects the running, but it does. It's a very simple job really and it's been detailed on ADV by HighFive I believe.
 
What does this pressure buildup do to the running of the bike? if it causes ridiculously high idles, then I may have that problem.

Local Husky dealer takes months to get parts. Local BMW dealer just calls incompetent local husky dealer when I need information instead of answering questions. I'm convinced the idle air control is the same as what's in a the 650gs BMWs. I'm going to order one because of this:

I've just changed the spark plugs. Bike actually idles now, which is fantastic! except the bike will stall every five seconds when cold, and then idle at 6k when warm. Then the exhaust begins to get so hot I can't even touch the cans.... Sitting here waiting for it to cool down so I can take the idle controller back out. Wtf.
