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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

ooh ooh that smell

First post so bear with my learning curve.
I can speak to this issue. My Terra is at the dealership now awaiting a new fuel injector. After approximatly 130 miles the bike became difficult to start and I notice a fuel smell while sitting in my garage idling. I checked the oil level and noted it was high and smelled like fuel. I took it directly back to the dealer and they diagnosed a faulty injector. Now it sits waiting for the local Husqvarna rep to provide an eta for the part. Was enjoying the bike while I had it. Having read this thread I'm weary that a new injector may not be a guaranteed fix as it doesn't seem to just be mine. Sounds like a new model quality issue. I hope they get it sorted fast.
 
Welcome, and congrats on the first post, wish it was somewhere besides this thread.

I'm assuming you didn't have a chance to compute your typical mileage before taking the bike back?
 
Appreciate the welcome.
I didn't get much of a feel for the fuel mileage. I did notice the fuel light illuminate my last trip back from work before I took it to the shop. So, 54 mpg is my best guess assuming 1 gallon of reserve. This should be skewed low since I was washing my cylinder with fuel during some of these miles.
 
After having my bike retuned via the MOSS computer at the dealer all of my stalling / stumbling / lean running issues were resolved. I highly recommend folks get their dealer involved if there bike isn't running right. See http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/moss-tool-works-awesome.29435

It's too early to tell if the smell issue was resolved. They replaced a clamp on the fuel injector with a different type. We'll know in the next couple of days.

Fantastic Krussell! Hope the weather hasn't turned too bad up there and you can get some miles in. This is great news and you have been very patient. Now you can pull that Husky decal off the dart board.:)

You never know what the weather will bring this time of year. Sunday I was out on my WRR and found the snow level at about 1400 ft.

If it wasn't for the vehicle tracks I doubt I would have kept it upright. Not to worry, I was keeping it about 20 to help stay warm.

Since my new Strada has arrived, I've noticed it smells like gas in the garage. There's no fuel anywhere, the bike is not over full, I don't run it in the garage. But when it is sleeping in the garage it's giving off a gas smell. Sort of like someone had an open gas can.

Anyone else?

Did you ever fix your "smell" ? Mine does exactly the same, and since the garage is attached to the house the smell is drifting inside...very annoying.

It went away. I don't know if it was the hose clamp that the dealer put on, or something else. I haven't thought about, which means it hasn't smelled enough to notice.
