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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

ECU elimination

One last thought on Pami. They have all the performance upgrades of the Funduro 650 for the GS and the G650 FI engines also. IF I could speak German, I'd ask HOW IN THE world is efi tuned to performance component upgraded parts?
-->They can't be using stock efi with performance enhancements. I'm pretty sure they had the Mikuni carb conversions, but maybe they are using programmed ignition systems. Whatever they are using, they are not advertising it (now - it is conspicuously missing.) And not only are they accomplished racers in Europe, but they were founded on the Rotax 650 engine. But maybe they hit a wall too (so did BMW for 13 years.)

Oh well, back to Microsquirt.

No need to, very happy with the way mine runs.

In the past few days I have spoken with folks with the PC5 and their bikes are stalling now too. Maybe it's time for the carb versions, less to go wrong and cause serious drivability when going wrong

I promise this, before I dropped $600+ on a fancy spoofer, I would get the microsquirt. The double bonus is getting rid of the cheap azz dash and immobilizer. ($300 for a Voyager with GPS) So for $1000 you get a better setup, tunable and more usable features.

@Baddrapp---good luck with MM. I think you might have an easier time contacting Obama and getting his sealed documents.
 
I have a call into a MM tuner and they are local. I will see what they say.

It looks like the stand alone tunable ECU are going to be too much money. The microsquirt is a good deal. I don't know what tuning would cost or a good tuner for the microsquirt.

I'm for getting a new system and take the stock crap off. The ECU must have a flaw or a basic programing problem. It seems to more then a lean stumble if the bikes with the PCV are having issues.

So far it seems all the bandaids fail sooner or later.

I went to Moab for 9 days. The bike ran great except for when I was pulling out of a parking lot in Mexican Hat Utah. I jumped on it pulling out onto the highway and she flamed out. Luckily It was down hill so I coasted to the side of the road as a car was hauling ass toward me.

I had a difficult time getting her to fire back up. It took several attempts of cranking, checking the kill button. I got her to fire only after turning the key off and back on. She finally fired and I was off.
 
My TR650-specific EJK equipped bike hasn't stalled on me once in 6+ months. I do get a bit of lean backfiring on deceleration when the temps are above 90*, but that's the only side effect.

The temps have just now started to get below 85* and the bike feels like a torque monster and no more lean pops on decal. I forget how powerful this bike is when the ambient temps are reasonable.

Just last night, cruising home from work on the highway, I looked down and saw the speedo reading 75mph. I don't normally ride that fast, but it was just so smooth and powerful that I thought that I was only going about 60mph.
 
For less than $50 shipped, this little device works like Japanese electronics and tells real time temp and last steady state temp (highs.) It's always on on hearing aid battery, and tells you if what you have works or not. Maybe try one before and after the new part to tell the difference. I'll never be without this, my voltage color light, and my bent Curvy Girls valve stems ever again :D

If the 650's are still experiencing a lean stumble with the PCV installed, then they are not tuned properly. I can get you one for ~$333, with my map installed and I guarantee it will not stumble off idle again.
 
Is it possible you could publish your map. I have pc and AT. Otherwise stock apart from filter podmod.


I am at 35% south and elevation 100metres. Ambient temp today 25C with 55% humidity ,sl south east breeze at 10 km/ hr. Moderate uv risk..... Gravitational constant unaffected by the guy next door with his harley. Always factor in environmental variables.
