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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ive owned my TR650 for a few months now and its a great bike. It has always had an off idle sputtering problem and recently has been getting much worse (i hear this is normal).

My problem, I have a very techinical off road ride planned this weekend, the bike is going to be a handfull running like this. Is there a quick fix?

I'm ok with buying a power commander for it but that doesnt help me this weekend.

Anything I can do? I'm located in San Diego. Thanks for any help.
 
What's your mileage? Have you checked the plugs? My bike only dies just off idle after long rides and then it's only happened a handful of times.
 
I found that on my Strada, it only died off idle after sitting in traffic. On the trail, there was enough throttle movement to keep the ecu from flatlining.

After the Brisk multispark, engine runs much better. Warm the bike a bit before driving, start it, put your gear on and go. That eliminates the stumble from cold. The Brisk Multispark pretty much eliminated the off idle and gave it more response at the 3k bog. (bog gone).
 
Thanks for the replies. The bike has less than 3000 miles. You make a good point that it doesnt run so bad once you are rolling down the trail. But man its terrible from a stop.
 
Mine stumbled and died on the test drive in the dealer's parking lot. Had I not done my homework and researched all bikes in this segment, I probably would've walked away. This bike is so much better in other ways than what Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and BMW have to offer, that a fueling issue that I knew could be overcome more than out-weighed the stumbling. Luckily Dobeck released their EJK specific for this bike only a couple months after purchasing mine, that I didn't have to deal with the stalling for long. It has been perfect for 2+ years with the EJK. I've not needed to touch the plugs or injector.
 
That engine is still a pup. Run it in a few more 10k's and it just gets better.
Mine was the same.
 
agreed. I sometimes wish i could have my old Terra back. At 24k km it was nicely broken in, smooth and without hick-ups. The new one (only 1400km on the clock) is nice and clean but suspension is harsher and engine and gear box still a little rough. Both have the latest firmware, no spoofers and mods except modified air filter and box (Enginia's frame and Unifilter on the new one) and proper adaption resets. They generally behave exactly the same but the new one is a bit rougher overall and still stalls occasionally when cold.
