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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
I did it with the engine running. (When the engine was cold as well I believe)
Just turned it up a bit untill it sounded right to me. We often had cold starting issues with that, cutting out after the first (or even the first few) cold starts. After that no more problems. Might have been a quarter of a turn. The idle valve will open/close as the ECU tells it to. If you open the butterfly valve a touch untill it sounds right, the ECU will match the air that goes in with fuel to match (or so is my theory) because it's measured by the lambda probe. The idle valve doesn't need to open or close.
You could re-adjust when it seems too much when the engine is warm but I didn't need to.
Maybe I'm totally besides the concept but I'm of the "Push that big red button and see what happens" school.

So next time I will try adding a step which I didn't try. While battery is disconnected turn the ignition 'ON' then off.
Bump. So should I give the reset a go? It can't hurt? Disconnect the Wuka first? Any advice much appreciated!Gaday all. I haven't been on here for a while, and I'm a bit of a layman when it comes to ecus and other electronic gizmos. What are we trying to achieve by resetting the ecu? I still have stumbling problems, even with the Wuka installed, although it's not as bad now the weather has cooled a bit (I live in the tropics). Is there a chance the reset will cure the stumbles? Reset with or without the Wuka installed? Cheers for your advice!
Take it to your dealer even if you have to pay 1 hours labour for them to reset. I did, bike runs great now with no stalling. Never used a booster plug or similar.So should I give the reset a go? It can't hurt
I'm midway through doing the reset myself as I type this, so we'll see how it goes. I have changed the front sprocket to a 15T so not as highly geared now. Heaps more responsive. The problem is not so much taking off, but just after or even when the clutch is in and the throttle is revved slightly it will stumble/stall sometimes. I'm that used to it now, I can usually rev it before the bike actually stalls, but it still sh!ts me to tears!Take it to your dealer even if you have to pay 1 hours labour for them to reset.

Got to remember that stock gearing on this bike is quite high so it will always need a little throttle to get moving.
Yeah I know what you mean as my bike started doing the same thing regularly. The ECU reset (if successful) will fix your issue with stumbling on take off.The problem is not so much taking off, but just after or even when the clutch is in and the throttle is revved slightly it will stumble/stall sometimes.

I agree. The reason why it stalled in your situation is that the ECU is not injecting at 0% throttle. For memory it resumes injection around 2,500rev/min so it doesn't stall when you pull the clutch in before stopping.That is a fuelling issue, not a gearing issue.
I maybe crazy but here's a theory. For those people using the IAT spoofers is it worth doing the ecu reset with the stock IAT sensor just for the first warm up at least.
If a reset is done this way and the ecu is re-configuring the whole set up, wouldn't it be best to spoof the temp after a re-tune instead of during the ecu set up process.
Any thoughts on this and someone willing to give it a go?
At 10,000klms a spanner warning light came on the Dash - I change my oil at 5,000klms rather than 10kFurther to my post;

ECU Reset Procedure;
Looking forward to hearing how you guys go with this.......
- Disconnect battery for 30 minutes or more.
- Reconnect battery and you should here the dash make a click sound.
- Turn ignition key “on” and wait 5 seconds.
- Twist throttle from idle to full and back to idle 3 times.
- Turn ignition off.
- Turn ignition on and start engine (DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING)
- Let engine warm up until fan comes on (VERY IMPORTANT)
- Check dash, Fuel used, Trip meter will have been erased and Time should need to be reset.
- Go ride….did this help….?

How do I get the spanner light out
I might have to live with the spanner & the "flashing" "ice" light Which goes out when riding in warmer 20+degC (Booster plug)I am guessing a little, I have seen this on the MOSS Tool and I think it can only be reset there...
