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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Happily Moto GC in Melbourne will send away the ECU for a reflash but I need to get it to them.
Is there anything to look out for when taking the unit out and I know this is dumb but it is the big aluminum looking thing under the seat isnt it?
thanks for help
 
UNHOOK THE BATTERY AND REMOVE BATTERY FIRST.

Way to easy to short the ecu out with a wrench that slips. Then pull the bolts that hold it in, and then remove the rectangular plug. Put in an anti static bag like for a hard drive.

I posted up the dealer instructions in the usa recall topic. Go there and mark your ecu as they describe, the best you can.
 
Use the whiteish lever to get the plug out. It can take a little wiggling. Don't force it, it will come out relatively easy.

You could use a sharpie and mark the ECU with the last digits of your VIN to help keep track of it.
 
Sending the BMS-E down to Melbourne may not be such a good idea, unless you have the ability to do an adaption reset/rebuild when refitting it and the more problematic the machine was prior to the update the more important the adaption reset/rebuild will be on refitting it

Rickyme your profile says you're in Sydney. Like WayneC said.. Sending the ECU off to Italy to get reflashed is only half of the solution, and it's the easy half. When the ECU is returned MotoGC need to have the rest of your bike there to complete the recall. If the bike is in Sydney you really need to find a solution in Sydney. Why can't you get it done up there ?
 
Yes have just found a helpful sounding dealer up here, they are checking out the procedure. However on the phone i was told I would just pull it out and send it off.
Difficult to trust dealer in Sydney, they dont want anything to do with old huskys
