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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Flame out causes me to fail motorcycle road test.

Husqvarna
B Class
So I just took my motorcycle roadtest with my te449 and im so pissed. While i was doing my figure 8's the bike flamed out so I put my footdown and failed right on the spot. I have done the butterfly removal, added an fmf pip and even bought and installed the PCV with every damn map i could get my hands on and its still the same bullshit. I dont think there is a cure for this flameout. Hate this bike right now.
 
Ouch. I took my CA test on a KLR 250. The bike was so tiny it was pretty easy. The TE is so stable, though, you must have been pretty confident. Then to have that happen. How long do you have to wait until you can retest?
 
I would not normally recommend this but look at Dangermouse449's post and maybe think about moving the TPS sensor. Its funny some of these bikes are way off and some run great. I got one of the first ones in the states and it has always run pretty good. Better with each mod. Also look at the various PCV posts as some have info on changing the timing and AP to help eliminate the issues. I believe you can sort it out but you need to find the key to whats making your bike run like that. Good luck.
 
Be sure and add a ground wire to the throttle body. Static electricity can wreck havoc with the TPS input to the ECU and will cause random "flame outs".
 
Try a JD? That used to be the gold standard.

Also, the purpose of that maneuver is to assess a rider's throttle and clutch control, which is pretty advanced for a new rider. Not sure what your experience level is, but even a dialed TE is still a twitchy bike in this situation and needs sure hands on the controls.
 
Turn the air screw out on the side of the throttle body. Probably 1/2 turn will do it. It will stabilize the idle around 2000 rpm and if you removed the fbw flap and ground off the control arm for high idle you will still have adequate engine braking even with the raised idle rpm.

same happens at the moment with my bike. Just when you are doing a slow performance, the Bike suddenly sputters and cuts out. You find yourself on the Ground.
 
Can you see the TPS voltage at idle on your pcv & let us know what it is.
Also, can you very slowly open the throttle off idle & note what happens.

The ecu uses the TPS to 'sense' what load is on the engine. If it doesn't start from the right voltage, or give an incorrect signal at any point, it could cause poor running/stalls etc.
I had good success with my own bike shifting the TPS, I can move it back to where it came from & get flameouts again.
You may have another problem, but it's something to try.
 
Do you have state approved MSF courses in your area? For one, if you have limited street experience it teaches you lots of excellent tools that will serve you well and keep you safer. No amount of off road time can make up for lack of street duty.

In most states, successful completion of the class qualifies you to skip the riding test. Just take your certificate to the DededeMV, and smile for the birdy. I'm guessing that since Commifornia and NY seem to try and copy each other's rules and regs it's worth looking into.

Last, but not least, you can use their bikes since most will supply them as many new riders wait to buy a bike until after the class and getting a license. No stressing about your bike that way. I know you're hoping to get the answer to why your Husky is pissing you off, but thought I'd share.
 
Doing your test on another bike because the one you bought isn't fit for purpose!?!
Are you serious?
These bikes don't run correctly from new & Husqvarna sit on their hands & ignore the paying customer.

There has been allot of progress wrt flameouts over the past year. I would suggest going back to the basics - sort of reboot and try things one at a time.

I would start by removing the PCV and going with the BMW Map 3 - that is a known good fuel map. I would also rec you put the butterfly back in - but that is up to you...the closer to stockt he better and then start one thing at a time. There are lots of folks running wildly differemt air adjuster settings here and a number of them went as much as 5 turns and ALL the flameouts stopped.

I get it - I really do. I was literally thrown over the bars twice because of it and came close to unloading the bike for that reason. A little patience and I absolutely love the bike and have had no flameouts in over 500 miles of offroad riding. The bike is flawless now. I dont run any type of EFI manipulator and I still have the butterfly in.

FWIW, I also run an FMF.

BMW Map #3 didn't help me. It seems I have one of the 511s that doesn't play nice with that map. There seems to be more 449s that like it than 511s. Also, OP has an '11 449. Aren't some of those ECUs locked?

I'd like to see the map you're using. Can you use a windows snipping tool to take a pic of it and post it here?
 
Yep, I own one of them. I actually considered buying a newer ECU just to try that map. That being said mine never has run that bad. I still have the stock tanker muffler and recently acquired a JD from another CH member. I have been very slow to throw cash at it. I'll probably get a better/lighter muffler at some point, but I want to master the JD first by lots of testing.

Bigmo has a great suggestion. The problem with having so many modifications, unless they are added one at a time, it's pretty hard to pinpoint the positive or negative effects.
