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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello, new guy here with "desmog" questions

I traded my NC700X for a new Strada and I'm in the process of removing the emissions stuff. I spent my evening deleting the evap canister. Next I want to de-cat the bike. I saw some pics that BigDog posted but I was still hoping for more detail like how far down into the can is the catalyst.

Also will removing the evap purge valve cause the MIL to come on? I just tied the connector off so it wouldn't flop around. If it throws a MIL I may have to stuff an appropriately spec'd resistor in the plug to pacify the ECU.

Does anyone know what the lastest calibration is? I read that the latest file version will pop up on the dash when you key on.

Thanks!
 
Disconnecting the evap purge valve does not cause the MIL to come on. Your fine just disconnecting it and tying it up.

I have not found any mechanism of determining the ECU firmware/software version. See my reply:

I used a hole saw and my drill press to bore a hole into the catalyst material. The catalyst was a little deeper than the hole saw so I took a wooden dowel and hammered the plug into the muffler. From there I was able to chisel away the remaining material left on sides then dump it out. Definatly do this with a respirator or with a fan blowing it gets dusty real quick. Then be sure to roll the bike outside before you start it. You'll get a giant cloud of dust from both cans.
